    A mate of mine gave me 2 bales of black turf briquettes yesterday.They came from Estonia

    Im wondering if they are ok to use in my Stovax multi fuel stove.

    I read my Stovax manual/booklet and it say that peat and briquettes are ok to burn in the stove.




    So is black turf briquettes ok to burn and will they burn as well as a normal Bord Na Mona briquette bale??

    Thanks.:)

    paddy147, Yes most of Donegal have solid fuel stoves running on turf or mixtures of turf and logs or turf and coal.

    Yep - those are the ones I have seen - I saw them in an oil depot in Sligo that also sells solid fuel. I have been putting a few bags of coal into the boot every time I have filled up so have a nice stash ready for the winter. Might pick up some of those briquettes the next time I am there and will see what they are like.
