Does anybody know where you buy Australian heat beads this year for the cobb barbecue????

Having problems finding them and do not really want to do mail order unless I have too....

Otherwise has anybody used a subsitute full (not the Cobb bricks please much too expensive for a quick BBQ

Thanks people

We use the Weber briquettes, never had a problem with them. cant say how they compare to the Australian heat beads as i heve never used them.

we have tried the cheaper briquetes from the supermarkets but they lose their heat too quickly

Are the Lokkii branded briquettes and heat diamonds as good as heat beads?  Thanks people

Waitrose do not have them listed on their grocery list.

Hi.

You can get the Heat Beads here: https://www.plumproducts.com/catalog/partlist.aspx?CategoryID=58.

Price includes delivery, I've just bought some.

Funny, it was only the other day that I was thinking that I hadn't seen any this year.   I stocked up a couple of years ago when I spotted them less than half price in somewhere like Tesco.
Not looked in my localish Waitrose - but not too sure if they will have them.  

I have seen the Cobblestones in Lakeland, but don't like the price.

£23.71 for four bags (inc p & p) from here...

We bought some from John Lewis!

Thanks for that link I think that's the way that we'll have to do it. I rang around all our Waitrose stores to be told they haven't got any and even bought a small bucket bbq for small meals to save my heat beads for a full on cook, how sad am I
