Look at the difference Heat Beads and another brand there is no comparison you can see which will burn longer and with more consistent heat.

I have never really compared them like that but the size sure is noticeable.

Yes, I can see what you mean.
But isn't a kilogram of one the same for the other?
Does the larger one burn longer than the smaller?
What about heat output/briquette?
If they both have a similar calorific value (J/kg.) does it make any difference?
Could be worthy of a controlled test?
interesting eh?

Good thought Mike. People have their favourites over here, in brands, I mean. I just buy what's in an area and cook.

Now, if I could get some dry weather on a day when I'm free to cook.......

Mikel, You make a good point. I will do a comparison test and see how they do stack up in the heat department. The only thing with the smaller ones they may burn away faster.

Being a die hard "coals from the fire" man Ive taken a leap of faith.......
Ive been playing with the heat beads just in the last couple of days & the only other time I had entertained the idea I bought a bag of Redheads BBq fuel.

The first thing which stood out is the heat beads are all the same size thus all the same heat, the Redheads are a tube like shape & although the diameter is consistant the length of each piece is not, so I got un even heat & a lot more heat than the heatbeads due to the hollow section I think. thus they dont need the air circulation that heat beads do to stay alight.
