Used BBQ grills in Dubai typically sell for AED 200 to AED 1,250 (about $54 to $335). Barbecues sell in a narrow window and almost entirely on how clean the cooking surface looks — and the gas bottle is a separate problem you need to plan for.
Selling a BBQ grill in Dubai
Dubai has one of the most transient populations of any major city, and that is the whole story for second-hand goods here. Expatriate residents arrive on fixed contracts and leave when they end, and a departing household typically sells everything it owns in the space of a fortnight rather than shipping it.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
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
- Warped or heavily pitted grates
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.

Almost the whole market runs from April to July, with a short second window in late August. A clean barbecue listed in May sells within days; the same one in October may not sell at all.
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 Dubai?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Is the gas bottle included?
Say plainly in the listing. Cylinders are usually the supplier’s property on an exchange scheme, and a buyer expecting a full bottle who gets none has a real grievance.
