been a hot coals bushman all of my life and still do some cooking that way at home in a converted 200 litre drum in my entertainment area nut I now also use gas with a camp oven mate I have a 12" and a 15" that I use reg but I really struggle with heat beads thay never seem to want to work correctly and yes I will be fair and try a starter before I condemn them to banishment

Love the camp oven mates they reduce cooking time by i/4 at least and the control over the heat and cooking process is great

Had a shot at roast pork using Heat Beads on Sunday with very pleasing results.
2kg rolled shoulder pork, 2hrs cooked spot on, although the Heat Beads where losing the heat after 2 hrs, I checked the pork at 1.5 hrs in case I had to use some back up beads all looked good.
I made a starter out of a 4ltr paint tin with the bottom cut out and my Weber as a base.

Looks good Murray. I cook with a similar set-up using a Camp Oven Mate and heat beads, to compensate for the beads losing heat after two hours I put my LPG burner underneath to crank the heat back up and "finish off" a baked meal especially pork.
With barbeque fuel I have been buying "Hot Shots" from Bunnings, they are as good as any and cheaper than most. Over the years I've bought the smaller rounder ones and found they are as useless as a hip pocket in your underpants, they don't give off any heat IF you can light them !!!

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Thanks for your comment boys
Over the years I have struggled to light BBQ beads in the Weber, like getting them to burn all the same, one side would burn the other half alight. but with a bead starter all the same. Even though it is rough an ready it worked just fine. I heated up the C/O on the side burner on the BBQ before I put it on the beads so the cooking processes should start straight away. I am more than happy with the result. It means I can use the C/O all the more. I thought the Weber might be just the thing to season a new C/O.
