What to look for in BBQs on sale

Start with fuel type (gas, charcoal, electric or pellet), then match the burner count to the household: 2 to 3 burners for up to four people, 4 burners for six to eight and 5 to 6 for larger groups.


BBQs on sale by fuel type

Fuel type shapes how the BBQ cooks, how quickly it heats up and what it costs to run. The four main types available across BBQs on sale at The Good Guys are gas, charcoal, electric and pellet.

Type

Best suited to

Good to know

Gas BBQs

Backyard cooking with consistent heat across multiple burners

Connects to a 9kg LPG bottle or a fixed natural gas line, and most models are ready to cook in under 10 minutes with a mild flavour.

Charcoal BBQs

Cooks who prefer the traditional smoke flavour, and weekend entertaining where the cooking process itself is part of the appeal

Needs more setup time (20 to 30 minutes to heat up) and active management of the coals during cooking, with a strong, smoky flavour.

Electric BBQs

The practical choice for apartments and balconies where gas and charcoal are restricted

Plugs into a standard 240V outlet and produces no open flame, heating up in under 10 minutes with a mild flavour.

Pellet BBQs

Longer slow-cook sessions and smoking, combining the smoke flavour of charcoal with the temperature control of gas

Uses compressed wood pellets fed automatically from a hopper into a fire pot, heating up in 10 to 15 minutes with a smoky flavour.

Confirming whether your outdoor space is set up for LPG, natural gas or only electric power before comparing models is a practical first step that narrows the options to BBQs you can actually use.


BBQ size and capacity

BBQ size is measured by burner count for gas models and by total cooking surface area in square centimetres. The right size depends on how many people you typically cook for and how much bench space is available outdoors.

  • 2 to 3 burner BBQs: suited to couples and small households cooking for up to 4 people. Compact footprint that fits on a balcony or in a courtyard.

  • 4 burner BBQs: handle cooking for 6 to 8 people comfortably and typically include a side burner.

  • 5 to 6 burner BBQs: suited to larger families and entertaining for 8 to 12 people. Often include a rear infrared burner for rotisserie cooking and a side burner. Hooded 6-burner models from Weber or BeefEater add larger cooking surfaces and warming racks.

  • Portable BBQs: 1 to 2 burner compact units that suit camping, picnics and small balconies. Weber Q-series and Everdure Force are two well-known portable options at The Good Guys.

Total cooking area is a useful comparison point alongside burner count, as some 4-burner models offer larger surface area than others depending on the size of each individual burner.


What to look for when buying a BBQ

Beyond fuel type and burner count, several features affect cooking performance and long-term durability. Comparing these across models helps identify which BBQ offers the most practical value. Features worth comparing across BBQs on sale:

  • Burner construction: stainless steel burners typically last longer than cast iron, particularly in coastal areas where salt air accelerates corrosion.

  • Cooking grates: cast iron grates retain heat well and produce strong sear marks. Stainless steel grates are easier to clean and resist rust. Porcelain-coated grates sit between the two.

  • Hood with thermometer: a closed hood traps heat and turns the BBQ into a convection oven for roasting, baking and indirect cooking. Check that a built-in lid thermometer reads accurately.

  • Ignition system: piezo and battery-powered electronic ignitions tend to be more reliable than match-light models, particularly across multiple burners.

  • Side burner: a separate burner on the side bench is useful for cooking sauces, vegetables and side dishes while the main grill is in use.

  • Rotisserie: a motorised rotisserie attachment paired with a rear infrared burner produces evenly cooked roasts. Available on premium 5 to 6 burner models.

  • Trolley and storage: BBQs on wheels with enclosed cabinet storage keep cooking utensils and LPG bottles out of the weather. Check the materials, as plastic trolleys degrade faster outdoors than powder-coated steel.


BBQ brands and ranges

The brands behind these BBQ types include:

  • Weber BBQs cover the portable Q-series, Family Q, Genesis and Summit ranges from entry-level through premium, with accessories available in Australia.

  • BeefEater BBQs are Australian-designed, and the Discovery and Signature ranges offer 3 to 6 burner configurations across mid-range and premium price points.

  • Everdure BBQs were co-developed with Heston Blumenthal and include the Cube portable charcoal BBQ and the Force series.

  • Ninja BBQs are an electric-only range built around the Woodfire platform, combining mains power with real wood pellets for smoky flavour without gas or charcoal. Models span compact grills through to the Pro XL, with modes including grill, smoke, air fry and roast, and suit balconies and smaller outdoor spaces.


BBQs on sale across entry-level, mid-range and premium

Burner count, hood design and cooking features separate the three tiers:

  • Entry-level: affordable 2 to 3 burner gas BBQs and portable models suited to apartments, balconies and small backyards.

  • Mid-range: 4 to 5 burner gas BBQs with hoods, side burners and improved cooking grate materials.

  • Premium: 5 to 6 burner gas BBQs with flame tamers, infrared burners, rotisseries and built-in temperature management.

  • Outdoor kitchen: built-in modules, 6-burner Summit-class setups and dedicated outdoor entertaining configurations.


How do you buy a BBQ on sale?

  1. Measure your outdoor space, including clearance around the BBQ for safe gas use. A minimum 1 m is recommended; however, check the manufacturer's instructions for the clearance each model requires.

  2. Choose fuel type based on your setup, as it narrows down which BBQ suits your home: gas (LPG or natural gas) for convenience, charcoal for traditional smoke flavour, electric for apartments and balconies, pellet for smoking and slow-cook sessions.

  3. Match burner count to typical entertaining size: 2 to 3 burners for up to 4 people, 4 burners for 6 to 8, 5 to 6 burners for 8 to 12.

  4. Check build materials: stainless steel burners and powder-coated steel trolleys handle Australian weather better than alternatives, and 304 stainless steel suits coastal areas.

  5. Check availability at your nearest The Good Guys store.

  6. Book delivery or Click & Collect at checkout, with home services for other help.


Frequently asked questions

BBQ offers across gas, charcoal, electric and pellet models are easiest to find at the Black Friday BBQ sale in November, the Boxing Day BBQ sale in late December and the EOFY sale.

Prior-year BBQs can also drop in price when new models arrive, and individual store events can bring local offers.

A new BBQ, from a compact 2-burner portable to a 6-burner hooded gas model with a rotisserie kit, suits BBQ lovers among the Christmas gift ideas and Father's Day gifts.

The right BBQ size depends on cooking habits and outdoor space. For a household of two, a 2 to 3-burner BBQ provides enough cooking area for everyday use and small dinners. Families of four to six typically benefit from a 4 to 5-burner hooded model, allowing roasts and indirect cooking alongside grilling. Regular entertainers should consider 6-burner hooded BBQs from Weber or BeefEater for larger cooking surfaces and warming racks. Side burners add versatility for sauces and side dishes. Built-in rotisserie kits suit households that roast regularly. The BBQ buying guide covers size-to-household matching in detail.

The Good Guys carries some of the most popular BBQ brands in Australia.

Weber is widely chosen for both Q-series portable BBQs and larger hooded gas BBQs, with strong durability across coastal and inland use. BeefEater sits across the mid to premium tier with stainless construction suited to extended outdoor exposure. Everdure sits at the premium end with design-forward portable charcoal and gas BBQs including the Cube and Force ranges.

Ninja Woodfire covers electric pellet grills suited to apartments and balconies where gas and charcoal are restricted. The Weber BBQ range guide compares all current Weber models. For marine-grade construction in coastal areas, 304 stainless steel offers the strongest corrosion resistance.

The most useful comparison points across BBQs on sale are burner construction, cooking grate material, lid design and side burner availability. Stainless steel burners last longer than coated alternatives and resist corrosion in coastal areas. Cast iron grates retain heat well for searing; porcelain-coated grates are easier to clean. Hooded models with built-in thermometers allow indirect cooking and roasting, while open grills suit straightforward grilling. Side burners add flexibility for sauces and side dishes. For a full feature breakdown by model type, see our BBQ buying guide.

An Australian backyard BBQ needs to handle outdoor exposure year-round, with salt air corrosion on the coast and dust and UV inland. 304 stainless steel suits coastal environments, and a weatherproof cover helps protect any BBQ left outdoors.

For fuel type, natural gas is the most convenient if your home has a gas line, and 9kg LPG bottles are widely available across Australia. A hooded design with a built-in thermometer extends cooking to roasting, baking and indirect cooking through cooler months, as well as summer grilling. A minimum 1 m is recommended; however, check the manufacturer's instructions for the clearance each model requires.

Knowing how much space you have and how you like to cook will help you understand which type of BBQ you need, from portable to freestanding models, in gas and other fuel types.

Yes, a new BBQ can be delivered or collected in store: larger BBQs are generally treated as big and bulky delivery items, while Click & Collect is available for smaller models, subject to availability at your local store.
