Hi Chaps,

I ran out of briquettes a couple of weeks ago after just discovering how amazing beer can chicken is!

Where do you guys source your briquettes out of the BBQ season?
I popped past my nearest Dobbies and it's already converted in to a cinnamon scented santa's grotto with all the Weber stock gone!

Cheers!

forget weber briquettes. Get Australian heat beads. The best fuel you can use.

I sell them year round even in the highlands. Any decent independent shop should be malleable to a request for reasonable quantities. Such as 1 case of lumpwood or briquettes, which equates to 4x5kg bags.

Most wholesalers will still have supplies and deliver in 1x4 quantities, so when you're told no there's no demand just let them know you'll take all four so that they know they're not going to lose out.

Oh and if you're paying more than £6-£7 a bag they're taking the mick

My local shell garage tends to ell them all year round (which means now they'll stop ....) so you may find the same with your local petrol stations.

Check a few places like B&Q who should have them reduced down. Always worth asking if they've got any out back as well.
