Barbecues and grills in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

Barbecues in Australia cost from about A$49 for a small portable charcoal grill to about A$3,000 for a premium kamado. Gas barbecues with two to four burners sit between A$199 and A$910, and built-in or trolley models with four to five burners run from A$555 to A$1,600. For a price that fits your backyard, describe it in a BlaBlaPrice request, and registered sellers can reply with their own offer.

Prices are for the whole unit. Dimensions are given in centimetres, and the weight of a trolley barbecue in kilograms matters when it has to reach a balcony or an upstairs flat.

Warranties and consumer guarantees

Barbecue warranties depend on the brand and the part. Some manufacturers cover their barbecues for ten years against defects, others give five years, and some offer 12 months. Electric grills and stainless grids often have longer cover than ignition parts, so check what is excluded. The Australian Consumer Law gives consumer guarantees on top of any warranty, and a seller cannot exclude them.

Gas fitting and fire rules

In South Australia, a fixed or built-in barbecue must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, who gives a certificate of compliance when the work is done. Ask a seller whether installation is included in the price, and keep the certificate with your paperwork. Charcoal barbecues must never be used indoors, and during a fire danger period in summer local rules can restrict open flames, so check before you light one.

Summer and winter use

Summer, from December to February, is the main grilling season in Brisbane and Perth. In Melbourne and Adelaide the winter from June to August is cold, so a covered gas barbecue is more practical then. Buying in November gives you time to have a built-in unit installed before the holidays.

How barbecues are sold and what to write

Barbecues are sold as units through shops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, and bulky trolley models need a delivery address that a van can reach easily. Ask whether the quoted price includes delivery to your city, GST and installation. In your request, give the type, the number of burners, the dimensions you can fit, whether new or used is acceptable, and your budget.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the barbecue you want in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms, while your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also send your request link to local sellers yourself. Start on the BlaBlaPrice home page or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
