Looking For A Barbeques Galore Alternative? Here Is Where To Shop Next

With Barbeques Galore’s company-owned stores progressively closing, many Australian customers are looking for a new place to buy BBQs, smokers, accessories and outdoor cooking equipment.

For some shoppers, that means replacing a planned BBQ purchase. For others, it means finding a reliable supplier for replacement parts, fuel, covers, thermometers, rubs, sauces and future upgrades.

The good news is that Australians still have several places to shop. The key is finding a retailer that offers the right combination of product knowledge, dependable support and access to the equipment you need.

What Should You Look For In A New BBQ Retailer?

A BBQ can be a significant purchase, so choosing a retailer should involve more than comparing the lowest advertised price.

Before placing an order, look for a retailer that provides:

  • A specialist range of BBQ and outdoor cooking products
  • Clear stock availability and delivery information
  • Practical advice before you buy
  • Reliable warranty and after-sales support
  • Replacement parts and compatible accessories
  • Australia-wide delivery
  • A customer service team you can contact
  • A physical showroom where possible

Specialist advice can be particularly valuable when comparing different cooking styles. A gas BBQ, pellet grill, charcoal smoker, kamado, offset smoker and spit rotisserie can each suit a very different type of customer.

Shop BBQs And Grills

Choosing the right BBQ starts with understanding how you like to cook.

A traditional gas BBQ may suit fast weeknight meals and entertaining, while a charcoal grill provides a more hands-on cooking experience and classic charcoal flavour. Kamado grills can be used for grilling, roasting and smoking, while pellet grills offer convenient temperature control.

When comparing BBQs, consider:

  • How many people you usually cook for
  • Whether you prefer gas, charcoal, pellets or wood
  • How much space you have available
  • Whether you want to grill, roast, smoke or do all three
  • What accessories and replacement parts are available
  • How much fire management you want to do

Browse our range of BBQs and grills to compare options for different cooking styles and backyard setups.

Shop BBQ Smokers

A smoker is ideal for anyone who enjoys brisket, ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken and other low and slow cooking.

Different smoker styles provide different levels of control and involvement. Digital charcoal and pellet smokers make temperature management easier, while offsets and traditional charcoal smokers provide a more hands-on experience.

Before buying a smoker, think about cooking capacity, fuel type, temperature control, cleaning, available space and how often you plan to use it.

Our smoker range includes options for beginners, experienced pitmasters and anyone looking to explore low and slow BBQ at home.

Shop Spit Rotisseries

A spit rotisserie is an excellent choice for cooking whole chickens, lamb, pork, gyros, souvlaki and larger cuts of meat over charcoal.

The right model will depend on the amount of food you want to cook, the available space and whether you need a portable setup or a larger backyard spit.

Important features to compare include:

  • Motor weight capacity
  • Cooking length
  • Stainless steel or painted construction
  • Height adjustment
  • Charcoal capacity
  • Available accessories
  • Portability and storage

BBQ Spit Rotisseries has specialised in spit-roasting equipment for 20 years, with options ranging from portable Auspit systems and Cyprus grills to large-capacity spit roasters.

Shop Pizza Ovens

Outdoor pizza ovens have become a popular addition to Australian backyards because they can reach high cooking temperatures and produce restaurant-style pizza at home.

Depending on the model, you may be able to cook with wood, charcoal, gas or a combination of fuels. Gas pizza ovens are great for convenient cooking, while wood-fired pizza ovens offer that flavour you can't beat.

Consider the oven’s internal cooking area, heat-up time, portability, fuel type and the size of pizza you want to make. You may also need a pizza peel, turning peel, oven brush, thermometer and suitable cookware.

Browse our pizza ovens and accessories to build a complete outdoor pizza setup.

Find BBQ Accessories And Replacement Parts

Changing retailers does not always mean buying a completely new BBQ.

BBQ Accessories , rib rack, motor, Thermometer and hotplate

Many customers simply need accessories or replacement components to keep their existing equipment working. These may include:

  • Rotisserie motors and rods
  • Cooking grills and hotplates
  • BBQ covers
  • Temperature probes and thermometers
  • Smoker seals and gaskets
  • Charcoal baskets
  • Pizza tools
  • Rib racks and cooking stands
  • Cleaning tools
  • Heat-resistant gloves

Compatibility matters when buying replacement parts. Check your BBQ’s brand, exact model number and measurements before ordering. When you are unsure, contact the retailer with photos and product details before making a purchase. You can reach us at 1300 002 771 or email us at sales@bbqspitrotisseries.com.au if you want a hand.

Shop Charcoal, Rubs & Sauces

A reliable BBQ supplier should also carry the products needed for regular cooking.

Charcoal quality can affect heat output, burn time and flavour, while wood chunks and chips can add different smoke profiles. Rubs and sauces make it easier to experiment with new flavours without changing your entire cooking method.

Keeping fuel, seasonings and essential accessories available from the same retailer can make future cooking easier to plan.

Other Places To Buy BBQ Equipment

There are several other ways to buy BBQ equipment in Australia.

Large hardware and general retailers may suit customers looking for common gas BBQs, portable grills or basic accessories. Manufacturer-direct websites can be useful when you already know the exact brand and model you want. Authorised dealers may also be the best option for specific brands or replacement parts.

However, product selection, technical knowledge, warranty support and access to spare parts can vary between retailers. Check these details before making a major purchase.

Why Specialist Advice Matters

BBQ products can look similar online while offering very different cooking experiences.

A customer who wants convenient weekday grilling may not enjoy managing an offset smoker. Someone interested in brisket and ribs may quickly outgrow a small portable BBQ. A large spit roaster may be unnecessary for a customer who only cooks for a few people.

Speaking with someone who understands the equipment can help you choose a product that suits the way you will actually use it.

It can also help prevent common buying mistakes, such as choosing a BBQ that is too small, buying an underpowered rotisserie motor or selecting a smoker that requires more fire management than expected.
