Widely accepted as the ultimate fuel and highly recommended by the British BBQ Society, Heat Beads offers total reliability and consistency to barbecuers across the world. The briquettes offer stress-free long cooking times of typically 4 hours, at high temperatures, for thoroughly cooked dishes. The product is equally at home on open grills, and perfect for indirect kettle cooking.

Joining the best-selling 4kg bag of briquettes will be a new economy 10kg bag, aimed at those who barbecue on a regular basis and require bulk supplies.

In a break from their traditional briquettes, Heat Beads are also launching a new lump wood charcoal in a 10kg bag. Produced from quality hardwood, it offers high heat over a shorter period than briquettes. Some barbecuers find using a mixture of Heat Beads lumpwood and briquettes to be a winning combination; the lumpwood being easier to light assists with ignition and briquettes provide extended cooking times.

The fuels are complimented by the best-selling Heat Beads odourless Firelighters, based on highly refined n-paraffin, compared to commonly used, high odour, kerosene which can taint foods.

Accessories from the No.1 brand also include, Heat Beads Grill Soaker and their refillable long-barrel gas lighter. The soaker overcomes the impossible chore of trying to a clean large barbecue grill in a modern sink. Grills of up to 57cm are simply soaked overnight in a mixture of hot water and soda crystals for a thorough clean and the Heat Beads refillable long barrel gas lighter makes lighting the barbecue so much easier featuring a flame adjuster and child lock.

The British BBQ Society will continue to recommend Heat Beads as their preferred fuel at a number of their barbecue cookouts and public events throughout the UK.
