Probably true, do you have a better link for the same range of coal?

jameshayes · 09-08-2014 11:32am

Too early in the year for this type of talk, sure the heat doesn't go on until Halloween

Petshop stores in Ballina, Castlebar & Sligo that I know of. They sell all grades of Polish coal fro €12.50 to €17.50. Its Polish lads that are running those outlets and you can haggle with them for a package price.

Not really around the corner for me. I got 5 bags at 20€ each of environmentally friendly coal and 1 bag of logs delivered to my house and stacked in my shed: brobably not the best bargain in town but not too shabby either

they were bord na mona ones last year. an uncle told me about them when i told him i was paying €4 for them last year.

Aenaes · 02-09-2014 9:20pm

€3.59 is cheap unless they're last season's stock. Be interesting to know if they have green or orange bands around the bale.

The cheapest ive heard of around dublin is €3.55 then the next cheapest being 4 bales for 15

lycan238 · 02-09-2014 9:27pm

Nothing wrong with last years stock , if they had been stored indoors .

3.59 is close to cost price ex factory nowadays with 2 lots of carbon tax ,

Ah ok so the orange ones are not is that what you are saying?

Ah thats good to know. I have seen them priced close to €5 for one bale around here.

Aenaes · 02-09-2014 9:42pm

Yeah, sorry I didn't mean there was anything wrong with old stock, just pointing out the price difference.

Both are BnM briquettes. They launced the orange bands a few years ago when selling to suppliers in the North, so it would be easier to detect VAT evasion if they were tried to be re-sold down here. It's why you should be wary if you see briquettes with orange bands for sale with a noticeable price saving. They had some big newspaper ads about it at the time but I can't find anything on the web about it.

I know old stock is ok to use if it has been stored dry which i assume that these ones have. I know a few people that buy by the pallet whereas I buy in loads of five or ten.

I was paying €4 all last winter for them (burned ten all winter). I was expecting to pay up to the above figure this winter until my uncle told me about the co-op mart.

beertons · 03-09-2014 8:36pm

Didn't abs have an offer last year, 4 bales for a tenner, max spend €50?

punisher5112 · 03-09-2014 8:40pm

You could be right there.

fleet_admiral · 04-09-2014 10:29pm

Bolands Arklow are doing 4 bales of briquettes for €16. I was expecting them a bit cheaper

At that price premium coal, anthracite, stove/open fire ovids are cheaper. BNM is going to be toast.

Rucking_Fetard · 05-09-2014 12:46am

Those carbon tax hikes are after doing an awful job.

josephsoap · 05-09-2014 7:47pm

Does anyone know of any bord na mona peat briquettes stockists in Northern Ireland ?

Would the price be cheaper up there, ie no carbon tax.

punisher5112 · 05-09-2014 7:53pm

Good idea but may be a tax problem unless someone knows more.

dueaug · 05-09-2014 9:02pm

Lucan branch has a one day sale tomorrow. 38 euro for 10 bales of briquettes, might do someone good!

fleet_admiral · 06-09-2014 12:21am

I see abs are doing 4 bales for €15. Feck Eamonn Gilmore anyway
