Used BBQ grills in Canada typically sell for C$75 to C$470 (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 Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
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.
- 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
- The state of the grates, burners and hose, described honestly
Fuel, size and brand: “Weber Spirit 3 Burner Gas BBQ, with Cover” or “Charcoal Kettle BBQ, 57cm”. Burner count is the search on gas models and diameter on kettles. Say whether a cover, tools or cylinder are included, because buyers assume they are and are disappointed otherwise.
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.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$472 a buyer pays is the C$472 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a BBQ grill in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
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.
When is the best time to sell a barbecue?
Spring and early summer, clearly. Demand and prices both fall away sharply once the season ends.
Do I need to include the gas bottle?
No, and many sellers do not. But include the regulator and hose, since those are specific to the barbecue.
