Eco Log suppliers in the Galway area

NickTellis

I'm looking for some recommendations for Eco Logs (i.e. compressed sawdust logs) in the Galway area. We used to get canadian-made logs that came in packs of 12 but they don't seem to be around anymore.

We have been using the

Greenheat

eco logs for a while now and they're a bit light-weight (i.e. they burn too quickly). The canadian logs were far denser and heavier and burned for much longer and yet were the same price. Any recommendations appreciated...

Atlantic Homecare sell compressed sawdust logs. The brand name is Ecoflame. I use them with turf in a solid fuel range so can't vouch for how long they burn for.

Wow, that was quick
Are they those big round logs? If so they're not great as they're not compacted enough.

Found a link for those Ecoflame logs - they look ok so will give them a try next time I'm in Atlantic. Cheers.

We use ecoflame briquettes at home but find them expensive at 5.50 a bale (9.6kg) . Mcmahon ecofuels in limerick do one you can buy in 25kg bags at about 11 euro but also sell in bulk much cheaper, not sure of the price but about 380 a ton. While they are not as good as the ecoflame they make up for it in price.
At the moment I've been trying to order some but they're machine is bust!

Cheers for the info. We used to get a yearly pallet from Czech Direct in Listowel. They sold good quality logs which (seemed) to be made from hardwood sawdust - they were certainly more robust than some of the brittle logs currently doing the rounds.

I'll give them a buzz to see how much a pallet would set us back these days (I seem to remember they charged quite a bit for delivery though).

Used get very good eco logs from Beatty fuels in Enniskillen.
No longer available in republic of Ireland.
The replacement ones available (not Beatty logs)are hopeless.
The Ecoflame ones are good in my stove and give good heat but VERY expensive.
Very difficult to find effective eco fuel ANYWHERE.
TheY all seem to burn too quickly and are much too expensive.
Woodies sold them last year two bales for seven euro. This week they are two bales for NINE euro.
Who regulates these people.?

Came across to a similar product called Rocket Blaze Wood Briquettes with hole in the middle, which is supposed to improve combustion even in low ventilated stoves.

Thank you for your help.
Cannot imagine why we Irish make location of the Ecoflame logs so difficult.
Just poor business acumen I suppose.
