Seems like a good deal on coal....

Ya, have found most brands of ovoids are not great in the open fire.

I do find them good in the stove.

BBut ya the Cosyglo are probably a step up again so not a direct comparator to any ovoid brand

Ok, so Wray do the Arigna Cosyglo

And

The Coyle Glotherm.

-. Normally which would be considered the better or would they be equal?

FWIW, Arigns cosyglo is produced locally here and therefore is widely used, we've used it in the stove for years and it's very good and consistent. If there is a small premium to pay over a generic nonam brand I'd be inclined to pay it. That said, I got a pallet of ONeills/Coal Warehouse ovoids recently and they are working out OK, but of course I've used them sparingly so far this winter. Ordered another pallet for the mother on Thursday, 340 delivered to outside Longford, to be delivered tomorrow so can't fault the service.

Wray smokeless ovoids collection price £365. They have a new websites, link below. Which will tell you the delivery cost after entering your post code.

What coal did you get for 340 delivered ?

It's definitely getting trickier to get coal delivered across the border.

My usual haulier now needs Swift certs or SGS certs on the pallet or their Northern partner will not collect. Tried Liam Connolly in the North who are part of The Pallet Network. The network members have implemented a raft of rules and charges specifically for coal deliveries since the start of the month... maximum pallet weight of 750kg, an extra £30 surcharge for pallets of coal and all relevant "regulations and paperwork" must be in order or any fines will be levied on the receiver.

The surcharge still applies even if getting delivered to a business location they've always delivered to so you can take it that the hauliers just don't want coal coming through anymore.

I've a couple of posts earlier in the thread but my first time ordering them for use in a stove and I'd also not buy again or reccomend.im finding they are burning badly, lots of lumps left the next morning, after about 2 hours burning they are gone right down with not much heat from them even though the oviods haven't turned to ash .

In fairness to CW they replaced my initial order with another, but subsequent bags I'm going through are just as bad

I'm disappointed I didn't just stick with the eco glow oviods I had been using which were a million times better for me

I'm using them in a stove too, 11kw no backboiler but im not sure if the size makes any difference. Ive tried laying a good hefty amount, slowly adding them in, lighting from top and bottom ect but still all burns the same. Another thing I noticed was ash is more like a sandy brown compared to grey with the eco glow.

I've a friend with a stove who only uses hayes glow lite so going to swop a bag with each other and see what he makes of it and vice versa

I ordered a ton of smokeless coal from Maguires for €435 after reading recommendations on this thread. Please don't anyone else waste your money, there is no heat out of them and it hasn't even got cold yet! No way are they on par with golden glow/eco stove, hope it saves someone else from ordering them

Ya Dandys gone from €45 delivery charge for the half ton to €70. Might be worth giving them a ring to see if they would do anything on the price of the coal itself.

They not doing the ton anymore - doing 37 bags ie 740kg pallet so their price per bag isn't as competitive as it used to be.

The 740kg pallet is to meet the new rule from some of the couriers that max pallet weight is 750kg.

Rathwood could be an option. Cost includes delivery.
