    What kind of truck generally does these deliveries? Can it get in and out of your typical 1950s style, bendy Irish park?
    Do they have manual or electric pallet trucks?

    And of course Liam Connolly charges KK nothing to do their free deliveries in Northern Ireland?

    You either pay the price as part of the cost of the coal or as a separate charge.

    Confused now as whether to go for Coal Warehouse or Kosy King?

    Is Kosy King actually the same coal that is cheaper including delivery?

    The good news is its normally an electric pallet tuck but the bad news its the biggest curtain side truck you can get thats not an arctic (30ft ?)

    What good for an open fire?
    Is a country blend ok from Kosy Kunt ? Will that be a good open fire coal?

    Kind of a 'How long is a piece of string' question I'm afraid.

    All depends on who your local Pallet Network Company is.

    Ask your local Pallet Network depot for a price, you might get it for cheaper.

    Really depends whats in country blend? When we used to get it locally it included a lot of pet coke and tbh I prefer not to burn pet coke as it burns too hot and over time burns out the grate.

    Maybe best to ask Liam Connolly who they will use in your area. Then contact the company as they probably know the area where you live.

    The delivery driver called us the day before he was delivering. We told him we were living down a small lane that we weren't sure a 30 footer would get down. He delivered it in a smaller van.

    My Queen was moaning about the cold yesterday so I gladly seized the opportunity to light the stove and test out the Black Diamond coal bought as part of a split pallet.

    Looked the same size as the polish....small bitty pieces. Burned well and decent heat. Still had some cinders left this morning but no where near what the polish does be like. Is it worth the extra??
    Not sure to be honest. I can see my next pallet being solely ovoids.

    I got a ton of the black diamond last year from coal warehouse and the chimney had an unbelievable amount of soot in it when I was cleaning it. Way more than the coal got locally over the years. Good heat etc but i wouldn't touch it with a bargepole again tbh.
    Anyone know what are the ovoids like soot wise?, using in a stove

    The ovoids are great sootwise. I don't think I will ever go back to the ordinary coal after using them. I must order soon but the lorries that came the last two years were too big for my place. They did it but if the same drivers come again I think they would refuse. I will wait till I am sure to be around.

    Just spotted this advert on Donedeal
    > https://easyglow.ie/index.php

    Could this be another contender?
    50x20kg smokeless ovoids for €312 delivered to us.

    That seems like seriously good value, just over €6 a bag, I would be interested in hearing from someone who has used the coal before buying a ton though

    Looks good value alright. Does it say anywhere on the site what the coal actually is, ie ovoid's etc.

    I think that might have been on my FB page as I hit the like button for them on Donedeal toady and it popped up on my page.
    I have been in touch with them,
    Think I might go ahead wednesday and order a tonne of Ovoids.

    Just got my chimney cleaned today after almost 2 years of burning CW ovoids and logs. I have a Stanley eirn stove and the ash tray at the bottom was almost full.

    I was very happy with that tbh... Be interesting to see what this eco coal is like seems to work out a fair bit cheaper than CW

    Would help. Hard to order on site as everything looks the same and every price is same.
    Is it 100% Ovoids of a mix, that is the question.

    How much per ton are Ovoids loose from the factory that produce them? Probably 70 a ton .
    Maybe should just pull up in a truck and get 30 tons .
