Enjoy autumn gatherings around EAST OAK’s 21-inch smokeless wood-burning fire pit at new $146 low

Amazon is offering the EAST OAK 21-inch Smokeless Fire Pit for $146.16 shipped. Normally going for $270 most days, it remained above $219 for the first five months of 2024, until June saw the first drop further to $197, repeating again in July and being beaten out by August’s former $153 low. We just spotted this model now benefitting from a 46% markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price, saving you $124.

Outdoor gatherings around a firepit are one of the best things about autumn, and with EAST OAK’s large 21-inch smokeless wood-burning fire pit, you’ll be able to complement your fall plans at home or beyond. It weighs in at just 19.4 pounds giving it more portability and has been given a trapezoidal design with a dual-bottom inlet that takes advantage of the Venturi effect “to increase air intake by up to 30 percent, producing a more vigorous flame and more warmth for your outdoor gatherings.” Its “circle-turned-square” shape is an ideal gathering spot for four or more people, providing a uniform 360 degrees of warmth that reaches surprisingly far – plus, there’s an included removable ash tray and fire poker too to make cleaning up after its usage far easier and hassle-free.

If you want to check out all the décor that EAST OAK is currently offering at a discounted rate, including more smokeless fire pit sizes, be sure to browse through its official Amazon storefront here.

Electric Bike Company is taking up to $500 off a collection of e-bike bundles that come fully decked out with various accessories like cargo racks, storage baskets, pannier bags, and more – plus, two bonus promotional options that give you further add-on gear at a significantly reduced rate or free, which we discuss below. While all of the offered bundles are down at affordable rates, considering the company’s high-quality builds, the lowest price among them is on the Model J – Desert Rover for $1,899 shipped. Normally priced at $2,199, we’ve only seen this same rate once before in April, with other rarely occurring discounts we’ve seen only taking $100 off at most. It comes in here today at a repeated $300 markdown that returns costs back to the second-lowest price we have tracked.

As I mentioned above, Electric Bike Company is offering an additional promotion that takes $200 off its Upgraded Tech Package at $199 (selected in the bike customizer), giving you upgraded lighting systems, braking systems, a portable repair kit, an Air Tag bell, an anti-theft alarm system, and an LCD color display – you can learn about the specifics here. The secondary offer provides a fee anti-theft alarm alongside an upgraded 3.5A super charger along with your e-bike purchase by using the code FALL2024 at checkout.

Electric Bike Company’s Desert Rover e-bike is an expanded upon version of the standard Model J, arriving with a golden-tan, metallic Venice Beach moped design that sports a classic banana seat (which can be fully customized in color and all). It’s been given a 500W motor (peaking at 750W), a 14Ah battery, and five levels of pedal assistance to enhance your ride, with it able to hit 20 to 28 MPH top speeds and travel up to 60 miles on a single charge. On top of its usual features, it also has plenty of additional add-on gear, including a rear-mountable cargo rack, a front-mountable rack, a Basil MIK crate, a Basil trunk bag, 3-inch puncture-resistant tires, integrated front and rear safety lights, hand stitched vegan leather grips around BMX handlebars, and an LCD color display with a USB charging port. As part of the package, you’ll also receive a color-matched helmet as well.

Other Electric Bike Co. bundle discounts:

The greatest feature about any of the e-bikes under this brand though, is the customizable options, accessed by hitting the “customize more” button on the individual e-bike’s pages. Most of the parts have two to three options for customization – even the paint job – with plenty more accessories you can add-on as well, allowing you to truly build a ride that fits your preferences and expresses your individuality.

Lectric XPeak Off-Road e-bikes get rare price cut with $227 in bonus gear at $1,299 low

Running right alongside the final hours of its Tailgating Flash sale, Lectric has given folks another rare price cut on its XPeak Off-Road e-bikes through the rest of the month at $1,299 shipped, as well as offering $227 in free gear too. Normally priced at $1,399 since releasing earlier this year, we’ve only seen one other price cut on this model that occurred for a single day back during Labor Day sales. Usually, discounts from this brand are on the included bundle packages, but we’re instead getting a mix today of bundle savings and the $100 markdown that drops costs to the return of the pre-tariff all-time low.

The XPeak e-bike’s streamlined frames house the removable 48V battery that powers the 750W rear hub-motor (with a 1,310W peak) and five levels of pedal assistance that can boost the rider’s own efforts up to top speeds of 28 MPH (depending on your state’s laws). For the price, there’s some great features here too, with 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, a 7-gear Shimano derailleur, a thru-axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, a hidden cable routing system, an IP65 water-and-dust-resistant LCD display, and even removable pedals that are a lot more convenient than one might first think.

There are also several mounting points along the frame that allow for additional add-on accessories, including the $227 in free additional gear you’ll be getting along with your purchase including a rear cargo rack, fenders for both your wheels, and an 850 lux Elite headlight.

Be sure to check out the models benefitting from the Tailgating Flash Sale that will be ending tonight, with the brand’s XPedition Cargo e-bikes and the XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes getting up to $554 in free gear while it lasts.

Anker’s 53L EverFrost Dual-Zone Portable Electric Cooler 50 down at $699 for the rest of the day

Coming to us from its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Anker EverFrost Dual-Zone Portable Cooler 50 at $699 shipped through the rest of the day. Normally this model keeps near its $949 price tag, but we’ve been seeing an increased frequency in discounts as 2024 has progressed, often dropping costs between $699 and $799, while March saw the furthest drop to the $600 low. This one-day only discount comes with a solid $250 markdown that lands it back at the third-lowest price we have tracked overall.

Anker’s EverFrost cooler series makes ice runs a thing of the past thanks to its battery-powered system, with this 53L model sporting what its two smaller counterparts lack: dual-zone refrigeration and freezing capabilities. It comes with an internal battery that provides a 299Wh capacity which keeps your stowed food and beverages cold and crisp for up to 27 hours on a single charge. A nice feature that Anker has included here is the 100W solar input maximum that lets you benefit from solar charging (as well as three additional recharging options) to further extend its battery life.

You can even utilize its two USB-A ports or one USB-C port to recharge your devices while its taking care of your perishables. It also comes designed for portability too, with an EasyTow handle and two 6-inch wheels to provide support when walking to your destination while also including an extendable table, a built-in bottle opener, and remote control of its settings via the Anker app.

Ørsted’s largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

Ørsted's largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

The Mockingbird Solar Center, Ørsted’s largest solar project globally, is now online, next to protected prairie donated by the renewable energy giant.

This massive 468-megawatt (MW) solar farm is set to power 80,000 homes and businesses, providing a major boost to the Texas grid.

But the launch of Mockingbird Solar isn’t just about clean energy – it’s also about restoring precious ecosystems. Ørsted has donated 953 acres of the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, which sits next to the solar center, to The Nature Conservancy. The donated land is now the Smiley Meadow Preserve, a protected area for tallgrass prairie that’s home to more than 400 species of grasses and wildflowers.

Tallgrass prairies are some of the rarest ecosystems in the US, with less than 1% of Texas’ original tallgrass prairies still in existence. Tallgrass prairie does a lot of heavy lifting for the environment, including storing carbon, preventing floods, and providing crucial habitats for pollinators.

“Native prairies are the rarest landscapes left in Texas – so much so that many people have never seen one,” said David Bezanson, land protection strategy program director for The Nature Conservancy in Texas. He added that preserving Smiley Meadow will not only conserve one of the best prairie remnants left but also help restore other prairie habitats and boost regional biodiversity.

The Mockingbird Solar Center, a half-billion-dollar project, is part of Ørsted’s $20 billion push to expand renewable energy production across the US. Beyond generating electricity, it will inject $75 million into local property taxes, benefiting schools and other public services. The project also created over 550 construction jobs and will continue to be supported by operations staff moving forward.

Ørsted worked with US companies, including First Solar, for solar panels and partnered with local businesses like Drake Construction and Pfifer Farms for construction materials. It also gave more than $50,000 to local volunteer fire departments in Roxton and Brookston.

With Mockingbird Solar now up and running, Ørsted has more than 6 gigawatts of onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects either in operation or being built across the US.

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday said companies related to natural gas and oil will thrive under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration and a majority Republican Congress.

“We’re hearing about all sorts of Trump trades right now, and many of these things have made insane moves in less than three weeks, to the point where, actually, they’re feeling precarious to me,” he said. “If you want a sustainable Trump trade, I say bet on the natural gas ecosystem. This is an industry that already had a lot going for it, it just needed some cooperation from the federal government, which it is about to get.”

President Joe Biden’s administration is largely opposed to fossil fuels, Cramer said, and the federal government has worked to block pipelines and paused new liquified gas export authorizations. This dynamic, coupled with a weaker global economy, caused the sector to underperform for much of the year, he suggested. But Trump has shown more favor to the industry, and Cramer pointed out that he tapped prominent oil executive Chris Wright to lead the Department of Energy.

Cramer recommended several stocks in the sector, including energy producers EQT and Coterra. The former is focused on natural gas and recently acquired peer Equitrans, raising the combined company’s valuation to an estimated $35 billion, Cramer noted. He added that Coterra is a good long-term holding and called the company “one of the shrewdest operators in the industry.”

He highlighted pipeline companies, including Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, and said he was especially bullish on Enbridge. Enbridge says it transports about 20% of all natural gas consumed in the U.S., and Cramer claimed the Canadian outfit has “strategically located assets.” He also named Cheniere and Sempra, saying the former is the “best playfor liquified natural gas exports.

“Seasonally, this is a good time for the commodity,” he said, pointing out that natural gas itself has climbed since the election. “But I also think there’s some optimism about the future of the industry driving this move.”

Jeep launches Wagoneer S EV lease prices starting at just 9 per month

Jeep’s first global luxury electric SUV will arrive at US dealerships any day. Despite its $72,000 price tag, lease prices for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV start at just $599 per month.

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV lease prices

After unveiling its first global electric SUV, Jeep’s CEO said the Wagoneer S “marks a new chapter” in its storied history.

Jeep claims the Wagoneer S packs “exhilarating performance.” With 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque, the big-body SUV can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery pack also gives it a driving range of over 300 miles.

The electric SUV is unmistakably still a Jeep, but it did get several upgrades to distinguish it as an EV. The grille is now enclosed without the need to cool a massive engine, giving it a sporty, more modern look.

Jeep revamped its design with a new illuminated seven-slot grille with ambient cast lightning. It also fine-tuned its profile, adding flush door handles, a rear wing, and integrated fins for better airflow.

The first Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition models get exclusive dark accent design elements like 20″ Gloss Black Wheels.

Inside, the electric SUV is loaded with the latest tech and connectivity, including a best-in-class 45″ of usable screen space. The setup includes a 12.3″ center screen and an exclusive 10.25″ interactive front passenger screen.

According to Jeep, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition can be leased for $599 per month for 36 months (10,000 miles per year). The deal includes $4,999 due at signing and a $7,500 EV incentive. However, you may want to act fast, as Jeep’s offer is only good until December 2, 2024.
