    Nights getting colder again, time to stock up on fuel. I mainly use a stove to heat my house, so coal and wood is what i mainly use.

    Dairygold (Mallow / Lombardstown) are doing by 4 bags get 1 free of 40 kg polish coal, €17.75 a bag , so €71 for 5 bags. I have not bought it yet so cannot comment on the quality of the coal, but any coal i bought off them last year was fine.

    If the price was right and not too far I would travel for a ton , so any other deals welcomed

    What is Solid State Fuel?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,372 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Really cheap hard-drives.

    I highly recommend this place for anyone near the border. http://www.cappertrading.com/pages/viewdetails.asp?ID=4&Item=42

    The turf isn't as good as the Mullingar stuff but coal and block prices are unbeatable. I think they also sell that smokeless coal for anyone in Dublin who can't have a coal fire.

    Probably,dont know what he has comming in each week,as I dont really know the man that well.

    Its my mates father who lets me know,as hes into the diy and energy effiecency stuff,like myself.:)

    They burn lovely for me,I set the stove and the airwash system to around half way and they burn lovely and give off great heat.

    I also burn logs with the briquettes from 2 rather large felled trees that I was given for free.

    Connacht Gold buy 10 40kg doubles get one free works out at something like 13.60 a bag that way, they give you a loyalty card and punch it when you get each bag so you don't need to buy 10 in one go. Also 3 BNM briquettes for 10 euro.

    [edit]actually may be cheaper than that I'm always getting other stuff at the same time.

    Petrol station in Inishannon, Co Cork - 15 euros for 40kg Polish coal.

    How much for 10? They usually knock a few euro off.
