I've checked here and they said there's only Eurospar's in the outer county - Does anyone know if there's any Eurospar's around the city?

Need to pick me up some €1 offer things

That's exactly 1/2 of what the €2 shop on Mainguard Street is selling them for! Excellent value!!

Have to say, if they are Spar brand firelogs, I found them awfully sh*te tbh:(
If you haven't used them before, try them before you buy 50 of them imo

In what sense? getting them lit? keeping them lit? Just the general flame out of them?

Kind of all 3:rolleyes:
Main complaint is that with at least 2 of them, the paper burned completely off without touching the firelog! Had to put a firelighter under it to crank it up.
Flame was very low and heat the same.

Cheers for the info. Only one way to test this, gonna get one on the weekend and see how she fares out

Always a worry incase the paper burns out without lighting the actual log.

That's why I always keep one of these bad boys close-by:


Handy as feck, bought in Lidl/Aldi few years ago, except the arm is at a 90degree angle to the can so you have a long reach at what you're trying to light so you don't blow yourself up

Be great for lightin' wee folks pipes too!

I've found that with a few different brands. I usually put in a bit of firelighter to make it get going at all/get going faster.

Ya the paper burning off without the log catching can happen the best of them.

The worst is when it happens a BnM firepack i.e. the coal. At least with the log you can get it going easy enough.

I'd say the coal would be a pain in the t1ts if this happened alright. As you say, if it happens with a firelog, just get something burnable (like newspaper) and make sure the firelogs get contact with the flame for a few seconds, it'll take off easily enough

Gave one of the 1euro Spar Firelogs a go. They definately need more encouragment to get going than the BNM ones. The paper burned out without lighting the log. Gas torch to the rescue Having said that, once it gets going it's the exact same as BNM one. I guess though the point of the Firelog is convenience, which the Spar one isin't
