Used BBQ grills in Brisbane typically sell for A$77 to A$480 (about $54 to $335). Barbecues are strongly seasonal and mostly sell locally, with burner and grate condition doing most of the pricing.
Selling a BBQ grill in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What BBQ grills are worth
What lifts the price
- Burners with no rust-through and even flame
- Cover, tools and gas regulator included
What pulls it down
- Rusted-through burners and fireboxes
- Listing in autumn, when demand collapses
Working out what yours is worth
- Lift the grates and inspect the burners for rust holes
- Confirm the regulator and hose are present
Getting it ready
- Clean the grates and the inside of the lid properly. Burnt-on grease is the single reason a usable barbecue reads as scrap.
- Decide what happens to the gas bottle. Cylinders cannot be posted, most are exchange-only property of the supplier, and a part-full one should never be handed over casually.

Put in the description
- Overall dimensions, and whether it is on wheels
- Whether a cover, thermometer, tools or side burner are included
Collection. Never transport a barbecue with a connected gas cylinder — disconnect it first, and if the buyer is taking a bottle, it travels upright and secured, in a ventilated space, never a sealed boot.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a BBQ grill in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Does it come apart to move?
Check the trolley fixings. Most gas barbecues will not fit in a car assembled, and this decides whether they bring a van.
