Balancing a Dob

When people talk about balancing a Dob (any size), what are they referring to?
Is it that you can put the Dob at any angle and it will stay there without swinging back to it's centre of gravity?

If so, how does it work when you have different eye-pieces, barlows etc installed as I would have thought that would upset the balance of the scope or is a couple of kilo's not going to make any difference?

Thanks
