For more than 50 years, Heat Beads^® has been firing up Aussie barbecues. Now we’ve brought that know-how for a 100% natural briquette. Made from carbonised coconut shell, they’re sustainably sourced without giving up performance. 100% charcoal, no fillers.

Classic is the reliable all-rounder. Use it for a quick grill, a kettle roast, a spit or a low ‘n’ slow cook, and it’s our top pick for the camp oven, because even briquettes are easy to count out for the lid and base. Light with firelighters, allow about 25–30 minutes to ash over, then enjoy 4+ hours of cooking.

Available sizes: 4kg, 7.5kg and 10kg, at all major retailers.
