The BBQ temperature is determined by the amount of Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes burning inside. Here are the quantities to follow to reach your desired heat (based on using a 57cm kettle BBQ):

For the Indirect Cooking Method:

- For a high heat, use approximately 2.6kg of briquettes (or fill the baskets on your kettle BBQ to heaped piles)
- For a medium heat, use approximately 2kg of briquettes (or fill the baskets on your kettle BBQ)
- For a low heat, use approximately 1.5kg briquettes (slightly under fill the baskets on your kettle BBQ)

If you are using the Direct Cooking Method:

- For a high heat, use approximately 2kg of briquettes
- For a medium heat, use approximately 1.6kg of briquettes
- For a low heat, use approximately 1.2kg briquettes

This might seem tricky to begin with, but the great thing about using Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes is that the heat can easily be controlled by closing over the vents on your BBQ to reduce the air flow, and therefore the temperature.
