Was so busy last evening during cooking a coupla teal in the CO, I decided to open a new a new 7 kg. bag of Heatbeads and count how many there is to the bag. There is 96.

How's that for a bit of useless information!

It's amazing the wise ideas a bloke comes up with half full of Coonawarra grape juice.

Therefore and ad nauseam, if'n a single heat bead weighs in at 36g and to do the sums proper like, 10 heat beads weigh in at 408g then if ya does an average of 40g per bead.
That should equate to 40g X 150 beads = 6kg.... Shocked

Burbon n coke..... Grin

and a lazy Sunday. Wink

Hang on, just hold it! Call the umpire....

Heat beads come in a 4kg bag, not 6kg.

You do the maths... Shocked

Looks like we have a few different weight bags of heat beads.

The bag I counted were "Heatbeads" in a 7 kg bag.

I bought 4 bags of them when I last went to town, cost me about 13 bucks a bag.

Bunnings at Carseldine on the northside of Brisbane have a box...with 4 x 4 kilo bags for $19.95.
Never seen it packed like that.

16 kilo works out at $1.25 a kilo.

They still had a pallet full yesterday.

Just checked my bag(s), both 6kg which I bought from Aldi on special at $5.99 each several weeks ago.

OzJeeper i'm glad your not my accountant, first you said that a single heat bead weighs 36 grams and then 10 of them weighs 408 grams. 2blackys heat beads worked out at 73 grams each so i am really confused, might need some boubon myself to work that one out.
