Spotted this 1/2 price deal while at Woolies stocking up on chocolate powder. None of my nearby Coles ever do the 4kg/$5 Heat Beads deal that pops here every so often so this is the closest.

FWIW no idea how this brand rates against Heat Beads or other coconut charcoal. Bunnings only have Heat Beads coconut in a big 10kg bag for $20 so this might be a cheap way to try it without having to buy so much.

Samba Natural Bbq Fuel 4kg
Our briquettes are made from coconut shell. These are carbonised, then ground and mixed with a vegetable binder to make a charcoal briquette. No trees are destroyed as the briquettes don't contain any wood. Thanks to their high percentage of coconut shells these briquettes have a large fixed carbon content and a minimal ash content. This allows a high cooking temperature and longer burning time, making Samba® Natural BBQ Fuel very economical.

    Good deal. Regular heat beads $12.98 for 7.5 kg at Bunnings so this is cheaper.

    Not as good as heat beads, but OK for smaller cooks. I will be buying some.

    Whats good to use in my weber kettle to get the really good taste?

    I’ve used weber briquettes and heat bead ones too.

      I normally use hardwood charcoal from All Seasons fruit shop in Hurstville NSW.
      Some says they are used by many charcoal chicken shop in the area. Def greats for my chicken satay and karubi beefs.

      I have used briquettes and charcoal same flavour. You would have different flavour I read if you use wood to cook instead of charcoal.

    The Samba charcoal that Bunnings sell is rubbish, so I wouldn't touch this.

    I have used this and bought a lot. I think it's fine.

      Yeah me too: I find them better than Heat Beads for a snake in the Weber: they seemed to burn more consistently and evenly, but not as good for hot and fast (didn't get quite as hot), though still ok.

  • HD9990 on 16/07/2020 - 23:27

    these were OK lasting 2 hours plus. the only issue is how to ignite these apart from putthing these on a gas cooktop…. can anyone shed some lights?

    Just be aware that this brand doesn't burn anywhere near as well as the original Heat Beads, you end up using more and getting less heat. Also if you extinguish the BBQ early you can't reuse the left over beads (they just crumble) like you can with Heat Beads (Original). I bought about 16 of these a few years ago while on sale at Woolies for $4, never again. I wait for heat beads to go on sale for $4.50 and stock up about $100 worth ~ 5 boxes.

    The best and most economical combo for me is the mix heat beads with lump charcoal.

      d'oh. Is that more about this brand the way it's binded or the fact it's coconut based? I got a big blue bag from Bunnings (Heat Beads coconut) but can only see myself doing quick grills so was hoping to re-use at least some of it each time.

      I agree that it doesn’t get as hot but I’ve been able to reuse without issue
