With the sterling so weak is it a good time of pay in euro

IMHO you are better paying the merchant in sterling and let your bank charge you the euro.
e.g, on Kosyking PREMIUM KOSY GLO OVOIDS (FULL TON) are priced at €330
and £280 which at todays rate is approx 310 euro a difference of €20

Dont forget that some banks will also charge a non euro transaction fee on the transaction. Permanent TSB for example is 1.75 %.

Delivery is £51.60. What is the cost in sterling for the pallet of ovoids?

I see the kosy king ovoids have gone up from around €330 to €348.10. Full of regret for not ordering last week now.

I have a ton of black diamond on the way. Someone tells me a local merchant has a ton of economy coal for the same price. Would there be much difference between these in terms of heat, ash etc?

We used to burn economy coal when we were really poor it was rubbish and we used to joke about going to the coal merchants to buy another bag of stones

If the best coal ever which is Polish is only €180 and Black Diamond is €210 for a tonne , this might answer your question .
There must be diamonds in the black stuff

you were correct, the lighter bags turned to paper.

Bought ton of premium coal from Kosy King last year but not overly happy with it. Lots of dust and mostly small pieces. Felt like it was anything but premium. Thinking Of ovoids this time. Has anyone experience of ovoids bought from KK or CW or elsewhere that they were satisfied with. Looking to buy a ton so want to get the best quality.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but using smokeless in a backboiler with a door on, what would be best to use>
I did use Ovoids all along but am getting a door fitted in the next week or so.
Thanks

My pallet of ovoids delivered today ..driver called 15 mins before delivery he knew where my house was anyway and wheeled the pallet into my garage .

Happy customer here .

Coal warehouse threw in two free bags of slack too which was a nice touch

My delivery arrived today.

First time that I got the 20kg and 25kg bags. Much much easier for handling.

Kosy have the paypal logo on their site. Does anyone know if they take it for ROI deliveries ?

I don't understand your question.

I have purchased from Kosy King many times and asked them to deliver on a day that suited me and I never had a problem.

If in doubt give them a ring. They are very helpfull.

naughto

What are there opening hours tried to ring today to order

What do people find is the best coal for a multifuel stove? I am planning on using wood/briquettes mainly but would like to try some coal if it gets very cold. I heard there is more heat from coal. Thanks

Yes, but they charge an extra £5 if you use PayPal or maybe it was 5 euro, can't remember which.

You get massively more heat from any from of coal over wood/briquettes.

There is more actual heat (as in measured calorific output) in Ovoids than most mined coal other than anthracite.

Basically avoid any form of smoky coal for a stove eg Polish coal as it soots everything up far to quickly. Also avoid anything that has a lot of pet coke (petroleum coke a by product of making petrol) in it as it burns to hot and over time can damage the cast iron parts of the stove like the grate.

Ovoids are your best all-around bet.

At the other of the scale you have lignite often sold as Union Nuggets which have the least heat stored in them so aren't great value however they burn well in a stove.

Lignite and pet coke mixes (cheaper because of the pet coke) approach the heat output of Ovoids but the pet coke can still slowly burn out the cast iron parts of the stove.

Thanks a mill for the detailed advice. Ovoids i used in the open fire before and found them great so i will stick to them for the stove too. They are pricey but probably worth it.

Are ovoids pretty much the likes of cosy glow? In the same boat myself with a new stove and trying to figure out what's best.

Can you mix types of coal on a pallet etc. 10 bags of ovoids and 15 bags of black diamond .

Any mix you like. You don't even have to have a full tonne on a pallet but you pay the same delivery price for a pallet if its full or only half full.
