I have created a lumpwood thread, that you can move my posts and any other posts you feel belong there to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hocking Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The range have heatbeads in at £6.99 for 2kg, seemed expensive in the shop but actually it’s about inline with amazon prices 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hocking Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’ve always used Weber, but may try the heatbeads next week to see how they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloverfoodlover Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I'm still getting along with the Weber briquettes but it's still early days in to my journey into smoking as I've only managed 5 smokes so far since getting my WSM however looks like there is a decent level of alternative options out there to try out!

It is temporarily out of stock, but in no rush for it at the moment, but wanted to try it. If I was to order direct from them it would have cost me £61.96 so a decent saving overall. Still haven’t got a delivery date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 4 bags of heat beads delivered a few weeks back, the first cook with them they seem to run really hot, on the second cook I had a job to obtain & hold the heat steady....this was running the Weber. Going for a third try this Sat with friends coming around, but I'm going for the Brinkman with heat beads, so I'm not convinced yet on which I like the most, beads or good quality lump...this is on-going, much like Brexit.

But Amazon don't take any monies till it is dispatched. So it won't cost you anything to wait and if you don't need it when it is stocked, you can just cancel it. Going to leave mine and see if I need it when they have it back in stock. On a seperate note, I don't use them. But a reasonable deal on Weber Briquettes available at the moment @ Gooutdoors You can get 6 bags of 8 kg for £58.94 delivered using code GOVODA10 which also gives you £10 of £50 spend so works out £9.82 a bag or you can order 5 but you will have to pay delivery as the discount brings it under £50 so works out £10.48 a bag delivered Make sure you select delivery as you have to show your discount card if you click and collect and pay instore, whereas you can just leave it blank for home delivery and pay the amount for online deliveries Edited March 28, 2019 by sotv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I just hope them Weber bags are better than the Assie heat bead ones??, otherwise, they would be all over the floor. Ice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Does this seem like a reasonable deal https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F221720112087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those difficult ones you pays your money and takes your chance, for my 2 cents if I needed any I'd go for it, but I had 4 bags of beads only t'other week. Ice.
