When Do BBQs Go on Sale in Australia in 2026?

Short answer. In Australia, BBQs usually go on sale in four windows: EOFY (late May to 30 June), the lead-up to Father's Day in early September, Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Friday 27 to Monday 30 November 2026) and Boxing Day (Saturday 26 December 2026). The Good Guys, for example, runs a BBQ deals section in its EOFY, Black Friday and Boxing Day sales, according to its own sale pages at the time of writing. For camping and caravan BBQs, outdoor stores such as BCF and 4WD Supacentre are worth checking too. Whichever store wins, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including The Good Guys, BCF and 4WD Supacentre. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

When do BBQs go on sale in Australia?

The short version: EOFY in June, Father's Day in September, Black Friday in late November and Boxing Day in late December. Here is how the year usually plays out, based on what The Good Guys says about its own sales:

Sale window	When (dates as stated by The Good Guys)	What it says about BBQs
EOFY	Late May to 30 June each year	BBQs see strong demand because EOFY falls at the start of the Australian winter; EOFY BBQ deals section
Father's Day	First Sunday of September (Sunday 5 September in 2027)	BBQs and BBQ accessories feature in its Father's Day gift range; BBQ Deals section
Black Friday and Cyber Monday	Black Friday 2026 is Friday 27 November; Cyber Monday starts Monday 30 November	BBQs listed among Black Friday deal categories
Boxing Day	Boxing Day 2026 is Saturday 26 December	BBQ Sale category; prior-year models often at their most accessible prices

A simple routine that works for most buyers:

1. Pick the model before the sale starts. Decide on fuel type, burner count and size first (more on that below), so you are comparing one model across stores rather than browsing.
2. Watch the price for a few weeks. The Good Guys suggests keeping an eye on prices from early November for Black Friday, because early offers come ahead of the main event.
3. Compare the same model at two or three stores on the day, including delivery, assembly and gas bottle costs.
4. Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

Steps 1 to 3 find the lowest sale price. Step 4 lowers what you actually end up paying for it. Sale price plus money back through ShopBack is the usual way to pay least during big sales.

BBQ sale Australia 2026: what is still to come this year

For the rest of 2026, the two big BBQ sale windows left are Black Friday and Boxing Day.

• Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The Good Guys says Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November and runs through the weekend, leading into Cyber Monday, which starts on Monday 30 November. It lists BBQs among its Black Friday deal categories and notes that Black Friday stock may be limited and the sale does not last long.
• Boxing Day. The Good Guys says Boxing Day 2026 is on Saturday 26 December, and lists a BBQ Sale category for its Boxing Day sale. It describes Boxing Day as worth considering for post-Christmas upgrades, with prior-year models often at their most accessible prices of the year.

If you need a BBQ before summer entertaining starts, Black Friday is usually the earlier of the two. If you can wait until after Christmas, Boxing Day gives you a second chance at the same model. For more on what else drops in price in November, see what's most discounted during Black Friday in Australia.

Do BBQs go on sale at EOFY?

Yes, EOFY is one of the main BBQ sale windows in Australia. The Good Guys says its EOFY sale runs from late May through to 30 June, with new offers added throughout the season. It also says that because EOFY falls at the start of the Australian winter, heaters, air conditioners and BBQs see strong demand, and it lists BBQs from Weber, BeefEater and Gasmate in its EOFY range.

The Good Guys breaks EOFY timing down like this:

• Late May: potential early offers on selected tech and small appliances.
• Early to mid June: a steady roll of category offers.
• Final two weeks of June: where it says you may find the most offers on big-ticket appliances and tech, with high demand and limited stock on popular models.

EOFY suits buyers who like to plan ahead for the warmer months. For a full rundown of the EOFY calendar, see when EOFY sales run and what's worth buying.

Father's Day: a smaller BBQ sale window in September

Retailers often feature BBQs in their Father's Day gift ranges. The Good Guys lists BBQs, plus BBQ accessories such as mitts, drip pans, grill baskets and cleaning gear, in its Father's Day gifts page, which includes a BBQ Deals section. Australia celebrates Father's Day on the first Sunday of September every year, and The Good Guys says Father's Day 2027 is on Sunday 5 September.

Father's Day deals are usually narrower than EOFY or Black Friday, so treat this window as a good time for accessories, covers and smaller portable models rather than the main event for a big built-in BBQ.

BBQ sale best deals in Australia in 2026: where the savings usually come from

The best BBQ deals usually come from timing, choosing last year's model, and paying less on the order itself. Here is where the savings tend to come from:

• Big sale events. EOFY, Black Friday and Boxing Day, as above.
• Prior-year models. The Good Guys says Boxing Day often brings prior-year models at their most accessible prices of the year. When a brand refreshes its range, the outgoing model can be the better value buy.
• Bundles and accessories. A cover, a gas bottle or a tool set bundled in can be worth more than a small price cut. Price the bundle against buying the pieces separately.
• Delivery and assembly. Large BBQs are bulky. Check the delivery fee and whether assembly is included before you compare headline prices.
• Going through ShopBack before you pay. This lowers the effective price of online orders, as explained below.

A worked example with illustrative numbers (not real prices or rates):

Step	Amount
Usual price of a four burner gas BBQ	$1,000
Sale price at Black Friday, 20% off	$800

Your effective price is the $800 sale price minus the Cashback, at the rate shown on the store's ShopBack page.

BCF vs Harvey Norman: comparing a BBQ sale price

The fair way to compare is the same model, on the same day, with delivery and assembly included. Store prices move during sale events, so a price that wins on Friday may not win on Monday.

• BCF is on ShopBack Australia. Before you check out at BCF online, open the BCF page on ShopBack.
• Harvey Norman sells BBQs too, so price the same model there on the same day, including delivery and assembly.
• 4WD Supacentre is also on ShopBack Australia and suits shoppers kitting out a 4WD, camper or caravan.

If two stores land on the same sale price, the store you can go through ShopBack with will usually work out cheaper after the money comes back, so check its live rate before you decide.

Which BBQ to buy: size, fuel and type

Deciding on the right BBQ before the sale starts is what lets you move fast when the price drops. The Good Guys' BBQ buying guide and range page give a useful starting point.

Size. Burners or cooking zones are a good measure of size. According to The Good Guys:

Who you cook for	Suggested size
One to four people	Compact BBQ with one to three burners
Five to 10 people	Four or five burners, the most common size, usually with both a plate and a grill
Large groups and gatherings	Five to six burners

It also suggests measuring your space, because bigger BBQs cost more to buy, use more gas during a cook and need more room.

Fuel. According to The Good Guys:

• Gas is the most popular type in Australia. It gives instant, adjustable heat and runs on LPG bottles or natural gas, which needs to be plumbed in by a licensed professional. Gas BBQs need a well-ventilated space and cannot be used indoors.
• Electric suits balconies, small spaces and rentals, heats without a flame and is easy to clean, but does not reach the same charring temperatures.
• Charcoal gives food a smoky char flavour but needs patience and skill.

Type. Built-in BBQs usually need a natural gas connection installed by a licensed professional; freestanding models need no installation and often have four to five burners; portable models suit campers and renters and usually only need an LPG bottle to get started. For versatility, The Good Guys recommends BBQs split 50-50 between hotplates and grill plates.

Brands. Weber's Australian range, for example, covers gas (Spirit, Genesis, Summit), the Q range (Baby Q, Weber Q, Family Q+), charcoal kettles, wood pellet, griddles and electric models, according to Weber Australia's website. The Good Guys stocks brands including Weber, BeefEater, Ninja and Gasmate.

Where to buy a BBQ in Australia

BBQs in Australia are sold by appliance stores such as The Good Guys, hardware stores such as Bunnings, barbecue specialists such as Barbeques Galore, outdoor stores such as BCF and 4WD Supacentre, and brands that sell direct such as Weber, among others. If you want a BBQ for camping, the caravan or the 4WD, check outdoor stores alongside appliance stores before you decide. When you buy online from a store that is on ShopBack, open its ShopBack page before you pay.

How ShopBack lowers the price of your BBQ

ShopBack lowers the effective price of your BBQ order after you pay. The routine is simple: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your bank account.

How to do it, step by step:

1. Open ShopBack Australia (app or website) and search for the store: The Good Guys, BCF or 4WD Supacentre.
2. Check the rate shown on that page.
3. Tap through to the store and check out.
4. The cash shows in your ShopBack account as pending, then confirms later.

Working out what the BBQ really costs. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. Check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you buy, because it varies by store and category and changes over time.

For more on doing this the right way every time, see how to activate ShopBack before you buy and how to get the most from mega sales.

Promo codes, price beats and ShopBack together

The sale price is what you pay at the store. No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay.
