If your grill has seen better days — or you’re still cooking on a rusty hand-me-down — Walmart just made it a lot easier to upgrade. The Expert Grill 24” Heavy Duty Charcoal Grill with Wheels (Black) is on sale for $98 with free store pickup, according to a deal spotted on SlickDeals’ Walmart feed.
What’s the deal
This is a full-size 24-inch charcoal grill built for real backyard use, not a cheap tabletop model. It rolls on wheels, so you can push it off the patio and into the garage when a Southern thunderstorm rolls through, and $98 for a heavy-duty charcoal grill is the kind of price that’s worth grabbing while it’s live — charcoal grill deals like this tend to move fast once they hit the front page of deal sites.
Who this is for
This one’s aimed squarely at families who actually use their grill — not just on the Fourth of July, but most weekends through the summer. If you’re feeding a crowd for a backyard cookout, tailgate, or just want that real charcoal flavor instead of propane, a 24-inch grill gives you enough grate space for burgers, chicken, and a rack of ribs at the same time without playing Tetris with the food. It’s also a smart pick if you’re setting up a first home, replacing a grill that rusted out after a few Southern summers, or want a reliable backup for when the good grill is already loaded up.
Charcoal purists will appreciate that this isn’t a hybrid or a gimmicky design — it’s a straightforward, heavy-duty charcoal grill with wheels for easy moving, which is honestly what most casual grillers actually want.
A quick gut check
At $98, this lands in solid mid-range territory for a 24-inch heavy-duty charcoal grill — not the cheapest thing Walmart sells, but priced like a grill you can expect to get a few seasons out of rather than a flimsy one you’ll be replacing by fall. Keep in mind charcoal grills do need a bit more hands-on time than a gas grill (lighting coals, managing airflow, cleanup), so if you’re looking for a flip-a-switch weeknight option, this isn’t that. But if you like the flavor and ritual of real charcoal cooking, that tradeoff is the whole point.
Caveats
This deal was listed with free pickup rather than home delivery, so plan on swinging by a store to grab it. As with any hot deal, availability can vary by location and this kind of pricing doesn’t always stick around — it’s worth checking sooner rather than later if you want it at $98.
Bottom line
If you’ve been putting off replacing your grill, or you just want a solid backup for a big cookout, this is a reasonable price to pull the trigger on a real charcoal grill before peak grilling season winds down. Check out the deal thread on SlickDeals for the latest availability at Walmart.
