The Cheap fuel in Cork for Fire thread

tommy21

Thought we could trade our knowledge of cheap coal, sticks, briquettes etc. in Cork city. Perhaps it could become a sticky if successful? Anyway I will get us started.

Callaghan's Garage, Ballyvolane - Bag of sticks - €3.50; 16 smokeless wood briquettes €3.50

Buy in bulk. You will get a tonne of coal for about €350 - €400, saving about 33% ish.

Great if you can find the space and transport for it, which I can't Anyway keep them coming bulk prices or otherwise!

Woodies in Tralee had Peat Briquettes 2 for 7euro i think, something the same as last year. They are around 4.20 each in my local shops.

Great idea for a thread

I'm looking for a good price from someone who will deliver. I can't carry the 20kg bags on my own so currently just going to my local petrol station €10.40 for 10kg and a bag of logs for €4 but I know that's not a good price!

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Cork City doing cheap coal that'll deliver?

I got 40 x 40kg bags of Polish coal for 500 euro. I know a guy in the Ballvourney selling 40kg bags of coal for 12 euro.

I get 20kg bags for 6.99 each in the coal depot on Barrack St. They're great & clean for the car too!!

Would be very interesting to get fresh updates here on fuel prices at present.

Go out the country and get the smoke coal if you're really stuck like. Also you can use moss instead of firelighters. I know I shouldn't be saying this but a drop of Diesel, a really small drop is very good for the fire, will work alot better than petrol.
