Sam’s Club Members Score a 28” Wood Pellet Grill for Just $249 — Perfect for Summer BBQ Season
If you’ve been eyeing a pellet grill but didn’t want to drop $500+ to find out if you love it, Sam’s Club just made the decision a whole lot easier. Right now, Sam’s Club members can pick up the 28” Member’s Mark Portable Wood Pellet Grill for $249, with free shipping included if you’ve got a Sam’s Plus membership.
What You’re Getting
This isn’t a bare-bones starter grill. The Member’s Mark comes with a 650-square-inch cooking area — that’s enough room to run a full rack of ribs alongside a dozen chicken thighs without playing Tetris. The LCD control panel lets you dial in your target temperature precisely, which is one of the main reasons people fall in love with pellet grills: set it, walk away, come back to perfectly smoked food. Steel wheels mean you can actually move this thing around the patio or haul it to a tailgate without it feeling like a chore.
Why This Deal Stands Out
We recently covered Sam’s Club’s 36” Pellet Smoker w/ Induction Burner for $549 — a fantastic rig if you’re feeding a crowd every weekend. But the $249 price point here hits differently. For a family of four doing regular weekend cookouts, you’re not giving up much cooking space while saving $300. That’s a lot of brisket money.
Pellet grills at this price from other retailers typically skip the LCD display or use lower-grade pellet augers. Getting both at $249 from a name-brand house label is legitimately good value.
Who This Is Best For
- First-time pellet grill owners who want to learn the format without a major investment
- Apartment dwellers or renters who need something portable they can take when they move
- Tailgaters and campers — steel wheels and a manageable footprint make transport realistic
- Budget-conscious BBQ families in the South who want real wood-smoked flavor without charcoal hassle
- Anyone who already owns a larger grill and wants a dedicated smoker they can run low-and-slow while the main grill handles everything else
A Few Things to Know
You’ll need a Sam’s Club membership to access this price — free shipping specifically requires Sam’s Plus. If you’re not already a member, it’s worth running the math on whether the annual fee pays off across other Sam’s deals (spoiler: for most families, it does).
As with any pellet grill, you’ll need to buy wood pellets separately — budget for an ongoing supply. And at 28”, this won’t replace a full competition smoker for serious pitmasters cooking briskets over 15 lbs. But for 90% of backyard cooks? It’ll do the job beautifully.
Pricing and availability can shift quickly on Sam’s Club deals like this, so don’t wait on it if summer cookouts are already on your calendar.
