What a used BBQ grill is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for BBQ grills, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £250 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £212 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £162 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £112 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £62 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a BBQ grill
- Stainless steel and cast iron construction
- Burners with no rust-through and even flame
- Cast iron or heavy grates in good order
- Cover, tools and gas regulator included
What lowers it
- Rusted-through burners and fireboxes
- Warped or heavily pitted grates
- Missing regulator and hose on gas models
- Listing in autumn, when demand collapses
How to work out what yours is worth
- Light it and check every burner lights evenly
- Lift the grates and inspect the burners for rust holes
- Confirm the regulator and hose are present
Once you have those three answers you can place your own BBQ grill on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
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.
What fails first on a gas barbecue?
The burners rust through, showing as uneven flame or flare-ups. Replacements are available for most recognised brands.
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.
