Top 10 Reasons why you should use Heat Beads® Solid BBQ Fuel in barbeque cooking.

Heat Beads® Solid BBQ fuel is used by hundreds of professional chefs all over the world. Together with home chefs, they choose Heat Beads® barbeque fuel instead of gas or charcoal for very good reasons. Here are the top 10 reasons why Heat Beads® barbeque fuel is used so often in barbeque cooking.
1. A healthy option – Cooking with Heat Beads® briquettes is actually healthier for you. The excess fat runs off the meat, falling into the bottom tray, no more cooking in fat!
2. Succulent flavour – Slow, even cooking over a longer period of time with Heat Beads® briquettes, seals in the flavours and juices of the meat and enhances the flavour of the food.
3. Cooking perfection - a high cooking temperature means that your char-grilled food is thoroughly and evenly cooked every time.
4. More economical - Heat Beads® briquettes are more economical because they burn much longer than other solid BBQ fuels. Heat Beads® briquettes can also be put out and used again.
5. Longer burn time - In a covered kettle under normal cooking conditions, usable cooking heat (greater than 150 degrees C) is available for more than four hours. There’s no need to top up with extra fuel when cooking large joints of meat such as legs of pork - unlike other charcoal fuels.
6. Long shelf life - Heat Beads® briquettes have an indefinite shelf life, as long as the product is stored in a cool, dry place.
7. Reusable - If any Heat Beads® briquettes remain in the barbeque after cooking, they are still reusable providing the kettle or barbeque has vents that can be closed to cut off the air supply, allowing the briquettes to extinguish naturally. Simply top them up for the next barbeque.
8. Easy to light - Add a few firelighters to the Heat Beads® regular barbeque briquettes, set alight, and you will have a glowing barbeque ready to cook your favourite foods in around 30 minutes. Heat Beads® Firelighters are safe, non-toxic and leave no trace of kerosene odour to taint your food.
9. Variety of cooking – The great Aussie barbeque is no longer just shrimps on the hot plate. Today Heat Beads® solid barbeque fuel is used for souvlaki, spit roasts, oven bakes, gourmet vegetables and Middle Eastern breads, alongside Aussie sausages and steak.
10. Better than gas – The results at a blind taste test at Melbourne radio station Triple R's Barbeque Day in November 2004 speak for themselves. They revealed that 100% of participants preferred char-grilled food over Heat Beads® Solid BBQ fuel to gas cooked offerings. Participants compared chicken wings and steak cooked over Heat Beads® Solid BBQ fuel, with those same foods cooked over gas. The decision was unanimous - char-grilled rules! "Melts in my mouth", "That unique smoky flavour can't be replicated" and "Why choose second best when you can have the real thing?" were just some of the comments.
Heat Beads® Solid BBQ fuel is a popular choice to enhance the barbeque experience. Char grilled food cooked over Heat Beads® barbeque fuel is a winner every time, whether cooked by professional chefs, or the home BBQ enthusiast seeking a flavoursome meal for family and friends.
