Kamado Joe up to $300 off. Masterbuilt up to $150 off.
Sale pricing runs Thursday, August 27 through Wednesday, September 9, 2026. Free standard shipping in the contiguous United States.
The Smokeforges Labor Day grill sale runs August 27 through September 9, 2026. It covers Kamado Joe ceramic charcoal grills, Masterbuilt Gravity Series digital charcoal grills, an app-connected electric smoker at its current regular price, and the discounted Gravity Series pizza oven attachment.
If you have been putting off the jump from a basic backyard grill to a real charcoal or smoking setup, this is the window where the math gets easier. Eligible Kamado Joe grills are reduced by as much as $300, and eligible Masterbuilt products are reduced by as much as $150. Every price below reflects the current promotional price verified in the Smokeforges catalog.
Where most Labor Day BBQ deals fall apart is the follow-through: a cheap price on a grill from a seller who cannot help you with a warranty claim eighteen months later. Smokeforges is an authorized dealer for both Kamado Joe and Masterbuilt, so registration, parts, and warranty support all run through the proper channel.

Kamado Joe Labor Day sale 2026: ceramic charcoal grill deals
Kamado Joe builds around a thick ceramic chamber that holds heat for hours on a single load of lump charcoal. That is what makes it a low-and-slow smoker in the morning and a 700-degree sear station in the evening. The Kamado Joe collection breaks into three size groups.
Compact and portable: Joe Jr
A 13.5-inch ceramic grill with 150 square inches of cooking surface. Sized for smaller households, camping, tailgating, or as a second charcoal grill next to a larger cooker.
Joe Jr with Cast Iron Stand
13.5-inch ceramic, 150 sq in cooking surface, cast iron stand included.

Larger 24-inch: Big Joe
Big Joe is the choice when you are cooking for a crowd rather than a family. More uninterrupted grate width means whole packer briskets, multiple pork butts, or several dishes at once without stacking compromises.

Masterbuilt Labor Day deals 2026: Gravity Series grills and smokers
Masterbuilt takes a different route to the same result. The Gravity Series uses a vertical charcoal hopper and a fan-managed airflow system, so you get real charcoal fire with a digital set-and-hold controller and app monitoring. If the ceramic learning curve is what has kept you from pulling the trigger, this is the shortcut. The Masterbuilt collection covers the full range.

Which Labor Day grill deal fits your patio?
Price is the reason you are reading this. Fit is the reason you will still be happy in three years. Here is the short version.
| If this is you | Start here | Current price |
|---|---|---|
| Small patio, balcony, or you want a portable second grill | Joe Jr with Cast Iron Stand | $499.99 |
| First serious charcoal grill, family of four, want the ceramic experience | Classic Joe III with Cart | $1,999.99 |
| Want ceramic charcoal but not the fire-management learning curve | Konnected Joe (18-inch) | $1,899.99 |
| Building an outdoor kitchen island with a drop-in cutout | Classic Joe III or Big Joe III Standalone | From $1,899.99 |
| You host regularly and cook whole briskets or several butts at once | Big Joe III with Cart | $2,999.99 |
| Want charcoal flavor in a familiar cart-style grill with digital control | Gravity Series 600 or 1050 | From $697.99 |
| Griddle cooking matters as much as grilling | Gravity Series 800 | $789.99 |
| Dedicated low-and-slow smoking, no high-heat searing needed | 710 WiFi Digital Electric Smoker | $349.99 |
The honest fit note: a ceramic kamado rewards patience. It takes a few cooks to learn vent control, and once you have it, the grill does things a gas cooker cannot. A Gravity Series or an electric smoker gets you to a good result faster with less to learn. Neither choice is wrong. They are different trades.
