Seems like a good deal on coal....

Happy Christmas to all

Lanc Lad has been posting actively in here for maybe the past year. Take him/her at good faith as at the end of the day it's just advice which hopefully is based on experience of using the various products but take anyone's posts with a big pinch of salt. I have followed this thread from the start over 10 years ago, posted a few times and buy ovoids every winter. Here is my advice.

I have a 19kw back boiler stove running 14 rads. The Coal Warehouse ovoids have never failed me. I once got a wet batch as was poorly wrapped on top and over the years I once recall posters on here getting a bad batch, I avoided this I think. I have an external air supply on the stove and digital monitor that regulates the stove temp to 55 degrees to pump the water around the system. The CW ovoids easily maintain this. Lanc Lad I think runs an open fire so comparing apples with oranges.

I bought a 2nd tonne last winter of a different ovoid from a different supplier saving e50 and am very disappointed with it, doesn't keep the same heat and too much ash which smothers the fire. I won't name the product but if anyone wants to know pm me.

Best thing here if you need advice is try ask the posters that have a similar set up, open fire, free standing stove or back boiler stove. Different products may suit different set ups and once you find something that works best for you stick with it unless savings are worth the risk to change

Wow, is it only one winter? Felt like 3 with all the posts 😀, edited my post to 1 year

Way too many pages to read through.

Can anyone help me.

I'm currently using agrina ovoids.

Looking for ovoids from the north, but don't want petcoke.

Coal warehouse won't ship a full ton, only 740kg to Cork/ Kerry.

I'm looking for good ovoids, 1Ton, from the north.

Advice please.

Is it all couriers in Cork or just the ones CW use? There the only supplier to the best of my knowledge that have stated this.

boru croi beag

No back boiler

i would welcome any advice as to which ovoids are petcoke free.

I'll probably get 2T, i have the space to store them indoors, and its handy to just buy bulk a few years at a time.

So what ovoids dont have petcoke, please

Think they all do? The difference is the quantity of petcoke some are high and I guess you want some that are low in petcoke.

If you want something that won't burn the stove out and don't mind a slightly lower heat output then Lignite nuggets are an option. We have used them for years. The burn well are easy to light and burn overnight but heat output is lower.

Why not try a couple of bags of lignite nuggets from a local supplier to see if they work out for you?

Ecobrite is the only smokeless coal I know off, which does not contains any pet coke. It is 96% anthracite Duff and 3% bindings agent.

five star fuels sell Ecobrite under the name Hi-lite.

Ecoglow small is also Ecobrite  

Anyone having trouble with coal warehouse website?

Telling me it doesn't deliver to any address i enter from ROI.

not a great saving at all but I will post anyway

To help you stay warm, we're offering €10 off per tonne on all Easyglow products.

Use Code: STAYWARM at checkout to claim your discount.

Rathwood do half pallets of either eco glow (green bag) or eco stove (red bag).

Could get either, try them out, wiithout commitment to a full pallet, and see how you find it. Wait and save 400kgs may come in at about 250-260 euro.

Rathwood? dunno never ordered a tonne from them

Ordered these at the start of last year, delivery has gone up to €100.

Has anyone a recommendation for coal a big stove with back boiler?

Have plenty of timber myself.

DO NOT order coal from Rathwood. Awful experience.

They don't actually have it in stock, not that you could tell from the website.

I ordered 1.5 tonnes at Christmas. Numerous delays and now told they won't be getting it in stock until 31 January.

And i have to wait 10 days for a refund ..…
