Weber briquettes
Weber briquettes
New to forum so apologies if the answer is here and i didint find it.
Long time BBQer (weber 57cm kettle) and bought a 57cm WSM last year and absolutly loved it.
When i bought the WSM i tried the weber 240 min extended briquettes (white bag) which i thought excellent. As long consistant burn/performance. I ended up using 80-100kg last year and always same result.
You can no longer get it in UK so anyone know how the weber redbag briquettes compare. Or other suggestion?
Thanks

Re: Weber briquettes
Should have clarified that i am hoping for advice on WSM. I normally didn't use the weber briquettes in kettle.

Re: Weber briquettes
I might be wrong but the extended burn are more for direct grilling when you need all the coals lit.
I use restaurant grade from makro/bookers but alot use heatbeads

Re: Weber briquettes
I prefer Aussie Heat beads to Weber and better burn times IMO
Best price I've found is gardens 4 less, especially if buy enough to qualify for free delivery.
I did an 18 hour cook on my WSM 47 last weekend. Closed down vents afterwards and still have half a basket of coals left.

I prefer Aussie Heat Beads over Weber and I also buy from gardens 4 less. Heat beads on a WSM used as a traditional grill pump out a phenomenal amount of heat, definitely only need a small amount for direct grilling.BraaiMeesterWannabe wrote:I prefer Aussie Heat beads to Weber and better burn times IMO

Not used them for grilling yet. Tend to use lumpwood, or in fact actual wood if I have time.Pompey Dinlo wrote:I prefer Aussie Heat Beads over Weber and I also buy from gardens 4 less.

Re: Weber briquettes
Thanks for the advice. I didnt a slow 15hr brisket with aussie heat beads mixed with some apple wood.
Heat beads good clean heat and burn time. Will definitely use again.
Cheers
P.s. bought from riverside garden centre as fractionally cheaper and i have used them before (plus almost local to me)
