    coals on offer?

    So am I best with the Aussie heat beads to do a Chimney starter full and let them get white hot and then put them in the middle of another kilo or so of unheated beads and wait for them to reach a steady 225°f.

    Thanks for the reply and link to your review. Impatience got the better of me yesterday, as I purchased a ProQ Frontier Elite Hot and Cold Set and Pizza Stone in the morning, so decided to throw in 4 bags of  Aussie heat Beads with it. I normally use the 12kg Blue bags of Restaurant Grade...

    Hi Wade I am a fair-weather smoker, so won't be needing one till around Easter time, but some good advice on the merits of the ProQ and WSM, thanks for that. Definitely a more straight out of the box and ready to go, than a self build Drum Smoker type of person.. Although I did do the mods for...

    Thanks for the kind welcome. The smoking weekend looks fun, probably not doable for me this year, but something to consider in the future! The link for the Bristol Drum Smoker looks interesting and in my budget. The only thing against it is the extras, personally at £350 I would have thought...
