Outback kamado Bar and Grill Wow I hadn’t seen that brand before. It’s amazing how the charcoal / low n slow bbq cooking has exploded in Perth, even in the last few years. When my team first competed in 2015, the organisers struggled to scrape 12 teams together to organise a comp. These days, if you aren’t registered and paid up within 24 hours of a comp being advertised then you’ve missed out! I reckon that there are close to 50 teams in WA these days, such a great amount of growth in such a short time.

That's all I use nowdays. I was using gidgee but found the lumps small. That said, bonfire said that you can ask Ralph to get bigger lumps. Heatbeads from Bunnings is convenient.

For some reason I thought it wasn’t considered legit for Kamado cooking. Don’t know where I got that from. How does it compare flavour wise to food ? What’s the main advantage ?

Bonfire told me that you are near me Steve. Innaloo Bunnings stocks Heatbeads Lump Charcoal.... I found them great. I did also try the Hestons B lump charcoal - also from Bunnings. That was okay too but I Heatbeads are a bit cheaper For the non Perth people, Innaloo is a suburb in Perth.
