Photo taken at Coles Coburg today, but definitely on sale at all Coles Vic stores. Haven't been able to confirm if it's nationwide, but a few interstate stores suggested stock arriving tomorrow (unsure of price). No idea why the photo shows 40% off lol, as it's definitely meant to show 50%. Works out at $1.24 per kg. If you're thinking of pricebeat with Bunnings, they sell only 7.5kg bags at $13.65 so unfortunately no go. Stay safe, and enjoy :)

EDIT: Same price at Woolworths but again can't confirm if it's national (thanks to Tg147).

      Not if you're of the orthodox persuasion, my friend, you'd be right on time today.

      • Meconium on 03/05/2021 - 11:20

        Does Orthodox Easter involve barbecuing?

        • themightycheese on 03/05/2021 - 16:03

          Of course, and souvlaki if you're lucky!

    Not good at all. Need the actual hard charcoal ones which burns longer.

    • TEER3X on 02/05/2021 - 20:21

      What are you on about, these last longer than most heat beads and certainly much longer than charcoal.

    • eediot on 02/05/2021 - 20:21

      Charcoal burns hotter, not longer. Imho…

    • GrueHunter on 02/05/2021 - 22:48

      I use these for 18+ hr cooks all the time with no issues, and when I use charcoal nobody can tell the difference. Maybe that's because they're made of, you know, charcoal.

      • mick01 on 03/05/2021 - 09:50

        Heat beads are made from coal.

    i prefer lump charcoal, give it a try.

    • TEER3X on 02/05/2021 - 20:20

      Lump burns hot and fast, not for everyone imo.

    • Bettyboo on 03/05/2021 - 10:00

      It smells good too.

    These have slowly been going up in price. I ever not to long ago the "1/2 price" offer was $4.00 then last year it was $4.50, now it looks like $5.00 is the new price.

    These are on sale due to Ramadan, every year as we approach Eid families would BBQ a lot of their meals

    • Limosine on 02/05/2021 - 20:56

      Why BBQ during Eid?

    • supaderp on 02/05/2021 - 21:07

      Most asian/middle eastern bbq would prefer lump wood charcoal, charcoal briquettes.

      That heatbead stuff is nasty, no one likes creosote on their food.

      • richie83 on 02/05/2021 - 21:44
        +1

        1. Burning any type of wood or wood product creates creosote

        2. If you meant lighter fluid, only the quick start ones have lighter fluid, the normal ones don’t

        • supaderp on 03/05/2021 - 05:09

          Wood product yes, but I'm not saying to bbq using wood. If you do, you get a bunch of different elements coming out burning wood.

          Charcoal has already gone the process of carbonisation most of it has been released.

          I don't even bother using fire lighter, just a charcoal starter and light some mangrove charcoal it it starts within 2 mins, then throw your charcoal briquettes on top. Mangrove charcoal will bring it up 400c easy

          • richie83 on 04/05/2021 - 11:52

            @supaderp: Heat beads release less creosote than charcoal. And that mangrove charcoal is cheap and nasty and burns way too fast and too much smoke.

      • DontNeedThis on 02/05/2021 - 21:44

        Aren't these briquettes?

        • supaderp on 03/05/2021 - 05:17

          Named as bbq briquettes, not charcoal briquettes.

          There are good brands like firebrand who most bbq'ers stick and swear by.

      • GrueHunter on 02/05/2021 - 22:54

        Heat beads are made from charcoal and high purity mineral carbon.

        Username checks out.

          High purity mineral carbon? Basically just described quartz and diamond.

            @supaderp: You mean graphite and diamond. Quartz is silica (silicon dioxide crystal)

    • mrkorrupt on 02/05/2021 - 21:51

      Yes, we are entering the last 10 days of ramadan. The specials on things like bbq needs, soft drinks and juices usually drop below christmas / easter levels for the week before eid.

          Marrianates can negate some off the effects of high heat

          Lots of herbs etc.

          You want to cook then sear

      • RenVilo on 02/05/2021 - 21:27

        It is the best way to "cook"… next time you want some awesome meat stop at place. Love to braai (aka bbq) and having some beers or brandy and coke :)

        Think its just the way I grew up bit the steak is just so much nicer when I do it vs any place I've eaten in Melbourne.. everything else is better bit not the steaks :)

  • dufflover on 02/05/2021 - 22:49

    If you're thinking of pricebeat with Bunnings, they sell only 7.5kg bags(bunnings.com.au) at $13.65 so unfortunately no go

    Give it a day imo, they've done it before.
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/565986

    Considering Woolies is doing the deal too it'd be very un-Bunnings for them not to match.

  • DMFD on 02/05/2021 - 23:19

    about the price they should be

      Oh I don't know. Maybe they want to BBQ something using BBQ heat beads. I could be wrong though.

    • Tg147 on 03/05/2021 - 10:14

      I believe it’s only on sale once a year.
      Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

    Went to my local Woolies and Coles in Melbourne (next to each other and I happened to be passing by) and they both had them at the normal price on the shelf. As I went to Coles second I did a price check and it came as $4.98 so bought a bag. Thanks TA - all set for roast lamb on the weber for Mother's day

    Can you use the heat beads to warm the house?

    • Irishness on 03/05/2021 - 12:05

      yes just don't put them in your bed

      Yes, it's a good way to make your own hot house.

    • shanlee on 03/05/2021 - 14:17

      Lately seen many people buying this heat beads a lot and was wondering what else can you use this for.
