It was a truck from Eoin Galvin Transport in Bunratty that dropped it off. But no idea what other companies were involved, if any.

Not yet, still too warm in the house to have the stove going. I got the small ovoids last year and still have about 20 bags left. But wanted to use the larger ones, as they seem to burn better in the stove we have with the firewood.

Cheers for the reply heard that the larger ones are better to use in a stove and thats what I.have

OK, this looks tempting at this price. I've never ordered in bulk like this before though and I'm a bit nervous of spending so much on something that might not be great, but I want to get something soon! I have a large enough stove, can't remember the kW and all that but it's enough to heat 18 radiators. Would the large Ovoids be suitable for that you think? I'll be using wood (birch I think) as well.

It can be quite subjective. I haven't used any of this yet and won't be for another while. What I got last year was OK and I didn't have any issues, but people have had issues with different batches, even from the same suppliers, so not possible to be able to give you any guarantee.

don't be afraid to message the company telling them exactly what you have and they will advise you which works best for you, my brother inlay has a back boiler and 20 radiators and uses a blend of stuff because he was told the ovoids wouldn't generate the required heat, wether that's true i not i don't know he can be a bit of a prick and might have said that because we have ovoids and they work great lol

When I had a back boiler with a open fire. You are better off burning house coal. Which will give you a long flame to go under the back boiler when you open up the damper.

Lancashire-lad

Hi my Chimmy sweep say it is bad for your Chimmy lining to burn logs and smokeless coal at the same. Due the gas's they give off.

On your stove I think you should try Welsh anthracite. It is cleaner and work out cheaper in the long run than using man made smokeless coal.

It can be hard to get going so I made a fire smokeless coal once they are burning I add the anthracite.

It keep well off night when you turn the air down.

I get up next morning turn the air up once the anthracite is burning again I add more anthracite.

Once that is burning I turn the air vent down to the require heat output.

If you I be of further help. Please ask

OmegaGene

I wouldn’t trust anything a chimney sweep has to say, is he qualified in the burning of fuels and gases emitted or is he just trying to be nice for a tip 🤷‍♂️ each to their own and all that

he’s just a bloke with a brush and a hoover, I wouldn’t ask a window cleaner about the best glazing to use

Lancashire-lad

Where on the site are these hiding? Can't see calorific values anywhere in the spec of any of the "Authorised Fuels"

Thanks in advance

Thanks, had a look but when I put in my Eircode nothing happens unfortunately. Is Surelite good for stoves?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121067414#Comment_121067414

They don't deliver to the Republic. UK delivery only AFAIK

Lancashire-lad

OK very sorry.

Do you know if it anygood on a open fire?

Thanks

Lancashire-lad

Hi I am very sorry I never brought it before.

I was looking to buy it to use on a open fire because it cheap and it not made my CPL.

On my stove I burn pure anthracites which give me best the value for money.

coalhut.com looks like its a reseller of Hayes fuels - same pictures of coal.

Nothing special about their pricing.

Lancashire-lad

Hi you are correct "The coal hut is part of the hays fuel group  of Companies which is one of the leading Coal and Solid Fuel importers in the United Kingdom" from coat hut website

There pricing is very good compared to other English company . i can not find another company online or in my area who can delivery a ton of smokeless coal for £469.99.

Have you ever brought smokeless coal from capper tranding there prices look good to me and they do delivery to England. There cheapest smokeless coal is £500 a ton delivered.

Thanks.

https://www.thedandys.ie/product/premium-house-coal-1-tonne-pallet

Coal wharehouse and easyglow are other options to check too

Lancashire-lad

Coal warehouse do not delivery to England. Easy glow smokeless are to more expenses due to extre bank charges for a non sterling debit card payment

So are you based in England ?

Wrong forum?

Lancashire-lad

Yes I live in Lancashire in England. I am looking at Irish coal merchant. To see if I can get more value for money.

The English market is mainly stuff from CPL. Who smokeless coal make lots of ash and is poor value for money. Plus there package is far to thin. It soon rips in storage.

So I join this board looking for help.

Thanks

you will not get better value from the irish market when most folks on here are getting it delivered from the uk

import tax and shipping plus the price of coal here is mental

Lancashire-lad

Hi I was wrong coal warehouse does delivery to England for free.

So please can anyone give me a review of there smokeless Ovid.

Thanks

Lancashire-lad

So how come coal warehouse can delivery a ton of smokeless coal for £440.00.

No one in the UK is selling smokeless coal so cheaply. Both online or locol coal merchant.
