    Seriously though....are they any good?

    I (stupidly) stocked up on cheap firewood at Aldi a few weeks ago, coz I was sick of paying 8 quid a bag at Woodys. It is absolute crap & takes forever to get going. I wouldn't buy any of their stuff again unless I knew it was half ways decent.

    8 Quid a bag:eek::eek::eek::eek: You must have money to burn.

    Who in their right mind pays €8 for a bag of firewood? Try your nearest car boot sale,there's usually guys there selling firewod & turf for less than you'd pay in shops.

    I'm in the lucky position that my firewood costs the price of fuel for the chainsaw & some sweat on my brow.

    Btw,in AH fashion,those briquettes in Aldi are imported from Germany and are made from Angela Merkels' shit.

    Anyone else got that sneaky feeling the krauts are trying to ban us from cutting turf so they can sell us theirs instead??? I smell some hypocrisy wafting over from Brussels. Mmmmm.

    Tried these over the past few days:-

    They don't burn as hot - breakup very easily

    Not as good as BNM

    Aldi Briquettes are made with the cheapest of Chinese components and will end up freezing your fireplace into a solid block of ice.

    People pay for firewood?

    I just rob bits from my neighbour's shed and burn that.

    I'm glad the shed is full of turf. Ye big city people and ye're fancy coal.

    Like all things in Aldi they're a reasonable imitation of the real thing.

    I wonder where they're getting that timber out of? Isn't the felling of trees controlled?

    I wonder where they are getting the turf for them briquettes from? I thought the rest of Europe didn't have any bogs left and that's why they wanted us to preserve ours?

    Truth be told, if Bord na Mona could buy a ticket that allowed it to slip quietly out of the fuel market, they would. They are now an energy and waste company, turf is just a waste of energy.
