Gonna have to be careful with the food I put on there - our cat has already 'scoped' out the amazing-smoked-food making machine!
Smoking wood should arrive tomorrow (thanks Paul), and I will probably visit the butchers next week with the intention to have my first trial run cooking some babyback ribs next weekend.
The Weber manual does state that heat beads are not recommended. I take it that I do not have to worry about that - I hope so as I am due 4 x 7kg bags of the stuff.

Dont worry about that, we have used heatbeads in WSM's with no problems. The only interesting thing about them are that they burn very very hot, so dont spend alot of time with the lid off the unit while the lit coals are in the coal grate otherwise it will take some time to get them to ease down.
Looks awesome, I got my first WSM only a few weeks ago (traded my ProQ in) and have really enjoyed it. Money well spent methinks

You will probably find that as weber used to rebrand heatbeads under their own banner it may be political, no issue with using charcaol briquettes in them.
