Coal / solid state fuel bargains

2smiggy · 28-09-2012 1:37pm #1

Nights getting colder again, time to stock up on fuel. I mainly use a stove to heat my house, so coal and wood is what i mainly use.

Dairygold (Mallow / Lombardstown) are doing by 4 bags get 1 free of 40 kg polish coal, €17.75 a bag , so €71 for 5 bags. I have not bought it yet so cannot comment on the quality of the coal, but any coal i bought off them last year was fine.

If the price was right and not too far I would travel for a ton , so any other deals welcomed

Mallow / Lombardstown / Cork?

Where are they?

What is Solid State Fuel?

Soarer · 28-09-2012 3:39pm

Really cheap hard-drives.

fasttalkerchat · 28-09-2012 3:46pm

I highly recommend this place for anyone near the border. http://www.cappertrading.com/pages/viewdetails.asp?ID=4&Item=42

The turf isn't as good as the Mullingar stuff but coal and block prices are unbeatable. I think they also sell that smokeless coal for anyone in Dublin who can't have a coal fire.

Probably,dont know what he has comming in each week,as I dont really know the man that well.

Its my mates father who lets me know,as hes into the diy and energy effiecency stuff,like myself.:)

They burn lovely for me,I set the stove and the airwash system to around half way and they burn lovely and give off great heat.

I also burn logs with the briquettes from 2 rather large felled trees that I was given for free.

Connacht Gold buy 10 40kg doubles get one free works out at something like 13.60 a bag that way, they give you a loyalty card and punch it when you get each bag so you don't need to buy 10 in one go. Also 3 BNM briquettes for 10 euro.

has anyone come across colombian coal? i got a flyer in the door the other day for 3 x 40kg bags of colombian coal and 4 bags of firewood for €50 sounds like a good deal but not sure about the quality of the coal or the size of the bags of firewood?

sweetie · 01-10-2012 10:50pm

That colombian coal will keep your fire going all night but youll need a fireguard as it'll throw out a lot of crap too.

glog · 01-10-2012 11:20pm

Looking for a cheap(er) source of Arigna Ecobrite (40 Kg) or BnM Black Diamond Premium Stove Fuel (35 Kg) in Munster area.
Both these fuels are actually the same nugget. Can get the 40Kg for 17.50 or 35Kg for 17.00.

Anything cheaper around?
Thanks.

pconn062 · 01-10-2012 11:31pm

Old Dublin Road Dundalk there is a guy selling 40kg bags if coal for 12.50 a bag. Red van with a sign outside his house.

W123-80's · 06-10-2012 8:03pm

The Buy Lo store in the retail park on the Naas Road are selling 40kg bags of Bord Na Mona Coal for €11.99 per bag. (Same retail Park that has Homebase)

I just bought 2 bags. Can't comment on the quality yet, only after putting on a fire.!
They also had 40kg Black Diamond coal at €16.99, so not sure what the difference in quality is.

I'll let ya know tomorrow how it burns, fire just taking off now. Looks good so far.
Don't think it's smokeless, it doesn't say it on the bag anyway. It just says house coal on the bag.

casio4 · 06-10-2012 8:56pm

If it doesn't say smokeless on the bag then it's not smokeless, ah well sounded too good to be true

Thanks for that, was only a kid last time we had a fire, they aren't on the zone for smokeless so think I'll pick up a few bags for the grandparents, can you let me know if its any decent, something that burns for really long, don't need them in and out filling the fire constantly. Thanks

There's quite a bit of coal about at the moment, listen to peoples recommendations.

I buy 40kg/14euro from a place just outside Trim, it burns really well, is very hot and throws no crap out, so for me thats just perfect

bfocusd · 06-10-2012 10:10pm

Yea I'll keep an eye out, they used to have an entire shed load to ceiling with turf, but some rule thing I think is stopping it and this summer was too damp for it to dry out?

They have oil as well as a backup if the weather's really bad so they don't have to go out, the snow last year had them pretty much trapped in the house, electricity went and pipes froze and burst, luckily uncle lives close to help them out..

In Ballina, they are more or less across the road from the Bus Eireann depot on Paddy Jordan's pub side. In Castlebar they are on the link rd between the Moneen Rd and the Breaffy Rd. There is also a chap in Castlebar, near Heiton Buckley, who is selling a range of coal products from €11.00 up.

The Polish lads in Castlebar have a sign up advertising free delivery. A tonne is €260.00, which works out at €10.40 a bag.

I don't think this is the best coal around, is it not?

Is this cheap coal from the Ukraine?

there are no bargins to be had on coal, smokeless or otherwise, in dublin - period.
