Selling a BBQ grill in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Adelaide, in South Australia, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney 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
- Stainless steel and cast iron construction
- Cover, tools and gas regulator included
What pulls it down
- Rusted-through burners and fireboxes
- Missing regulator and hose on gas models
Working out what yours is worth
- Light it and check every burner lights evenly
- Lift the grates and inspect the burners for rust holes
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.
- On gas models, check the burners for rust-through and the igniter for a spark, and inspect the hose and regulator for perishing.

Are the burners rusted through?
Look along each tube and photograph them. Burners are a replaceable part on known brands, so a buyer will price the repair rather than walk away — if they know.
