BBQ Fuel Briquettes

Minimum burn time	3+ hours
Best for	Kettle BBQs, spit roasts, indirect cooking

Made in Victoria since 1985, Hot Shots BBQ Fuel is pressed from char — a brown-coal derivative — and silica, both sourced within Australia. It’s a genuinely different raw material to the charcoal-based briquettes common overseas, and it shows: odourless, smokeless, and a minimum three-hour burn that means no mid-cook refueling.

It can take a little longer to get going than some other brands, but the trade-off is longer, hotter, more consistent heat — exactly what you want for a kettle BBQ or a spit roast running low and slow.

Where can I buy Hot Shots BBQ Fuel?

Bunnings, other hardware stores, local garden stores, and selected grocery outlets across Australia.

How many briquettes should I use?

It depends on the temperature you’re after — add more for higher heat, and keep the air vents open once you’re at temperature so the fire can breathe.
