I like my fossil fuels to speak.

MrStuffins

it's funny you should say this.

I bought some Aldi Cola today and it doesn't say "Coca Cola" on it! There's something going on!

Are they actually made from peat and not just imported sawdust from germany?

Fossilised? Dug up from an Irish Bog? Compressed/repressed?

In that case, hey OP

We probably didn't have to deal with loss of dividends due to them writing off 20 million too unlike Bord na Mona

Its fake peat. Their chicken and fish are fake to. Even their vegetables are the fake ones.

To be fair though, the briquettes are made of chicken and fish and the vegetables are made of peat. So the discerning consumer knows to throw the broccoli on the fire and the briquettes on the grill.

Seriously though....are they any good?

I (stupidly) stocked up on cheap firewood at Aldi a few weeks ago, coz I was sick of paying 8 quid a bag at Woodys. It is absolute crap & takes forever to get going. I wouldn't buy any of their stuff again unless I knew it was half ways decent.

Wouldn't be surprised if the food was made with peat, that Aldi and Lidl food is ****ing manky stuff. Almost everything tastes like its still in the ground.

Its cheap for a reason, cause its ****e

I asked a friend who has bought them and he says NO, they're not very good at all. Pity! I was hoping to get some and save some money. These days we all need to find cheaper sources of fuel to heat our homes.

every time you are in town/shopping centre pick up an argos catalogue. bring home and soak in the bath overnight. allow a day to dry out.

voila, your own briquettes

I used Luas and GoBus because they don't say CIE.

Because I need public transport, not Liberty Hall dogma.

Who in their right mind pays €8 for a bag of firewood? Try your nearest car boot sale,there's usually guys there selling firewod & turf for less than you'd pay in shops.

I'm in the lucky position that my firewood costs the price of fuel for the chainsaw & some sweat on my brow.

Btw,in AH fashion,those briquettes in Aldi are imported from Germany and are made from Angela Merkels' shit.

Pottler

Anyone else got that sneaky feeling the krauts are trying to ban us from cutting turf so they can sell us theirs instead??? I smell some hypocrisy wafting over from Brussels. Mmmmm.

boomslang

Tried these over the past few days:-

They don't burn as hot - breakup very easily

Not as good as BNM

anncoates

You get Bord with all the Monas in these threads, tbh.

Aldi Briquettes are made with the cheapest of Chinese components and will end up freezing your fireplace into a solid block of ice.

Irishchick

I have this image of kids in a sweat shop making briquettes for some reason......

AnonoBoy

People pay for firewood?

I just rob bits from my neighbour's shed and burn that.

Shryke

I'm glad the shed is full of turf. Ye big city people and ye're fancy coal.

kneemos

Like all things in Aldi they're a reasonable imitation of the real thing.

I wonder where they're getting that timber out of? Isn't the felling of trees controlled?

I wonder where they are getting the turf for them briquettes from? I thought the rest of Europe didn't have any bogs left and that's why they wanted us to preserve ours?

Truncheon Rouge

They are to calling Boawrdezik Na Monazy peating brick.

franktheplank

Yo word to the wise, they're passing hash off as briquettes these days.

Truth be told, if Bord na Mona could buy a ticket that allowed it to slip quietly out of the fuel market, they would. They are now an energy and waste company, turf is just a waste of energy.
