Australia Day BBQ with Heat Beads

Relaxing in the sun with family & friends, cold drink in hand and the BBQ blazin’…. that’s what summer is all about. With BBQ season now in full swing, we recently fired up the Webber for a delicious BBQ feast.

This Australia Day we created an easy and delicious BBQ feast - all made extra easy with Heat Beads Chimney Booster.

The  Chimney Booster cuts BBQ lighting time for cooking over coals down to a record 12 minutes (the days of heating coals for up to an hour to get that authentic BBQ flavour are no longer!).

What you need:

  • Heat Beads® Firelighters
  • Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes
  • Heat Beads® BBQ Starter Chimney
  • Heat Beads® Chimney Booster

We lit the Heat Beads® Chimney Booster with firelighters, filled the BBQ Chimney with briquettes and placed the BBQ Chimney on top of the Chimney Booster. 12 minutes after turning the Chimney Booster on, the briquettes were hot and ready to BBQ with (yes, it’s *that* quick!)

We used the 12 minutes to whip up a salad and do a little marinating of our meats and very soon it was time to pop on some oven mitts and transfer the briquettes to the BBQ.

Recipe: Smoky pork rack

Ingredients

  • Handful of Hickory woodchips for smoking
  • Murray Valley Pork rack (sliced)
  • Middle Eastern spice mix
  • Olive oil

Steps

  1. Soak the hickory woodchips in water for around 30 minutes before cooking
  2. Marinate the Pork rack with Middle Eastern spice mix and olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle the soaked woodchips directly over the briquettes.
  4. Start cooking! It took us approximately 4 minutes on each side.
  5. Enjoy!

We loved the results. It was such a quick and easy way to enjoy authentic smoky BBQ tasting meats.
