    The "renowned" €1 firelog is back at SPAR. Maybe a little late for some seeing as we're over the worst of the Big Freeze, but can't beat the price. Picked up a box of 12 myself yesterday. Last time they had this offer they sold out pretty quick, so stock up while you can ;)

    Nice one..!

    Am currently picking up Fibra Flame ones at about €1.35 from Londis which are grand also.

    Will pick up a few of the Spar ones at the weekend.

    Go on!
    Tell us what you got for the €2 left from the €20? I'd suggest 4 Creme Eggs, but the 2 for €1 wasn't available last week! :D

    My tip: don't use a full firelog per fire.

    Cut it in half.. and use that with firelighters, blocks and coal.

    I think that in total, men and my roommate has bought about 30 of them.
    Some of them light properly, but some require firelighters though.

    Was looking at the coupon page earlier to see if I could use one for the log, but has this towards top of page...

    Our coupons are only accepted in Dunnes, Superquinn, Tesco and Supervalu.

    :( Maybe they'd take the coupon anyway, it's worth a try ..... also could be handy if you don't have a Spar near you.

    Off topic/

    I don't get firelogs?? Is it a huge firelighter, or is it fuel? One on it's own in the grate would look sad, a few would look weird, and be expensive. If you use them along with regular fuel, then why bother?

    I feel like I'm missing some crucial aspect of fire lighting. Could someone explain them to me please?!

    It's a huge firelighter. One should be enough to get a fire going when you have it surrounded by coal, wood, briquettes, etc.

    Bumping this. They have 4 firelogs for a fiver now at Spar, so 25c extra per log on the deal in Sept. Beats any other deal around as far as I can see as the Mace one seems to be over.

    Really only burn for about 1-1.5 hours, and they don't throw out much heat on their own. I throw a couple of briquettes and coal on and just use them for starting the fire off.
