    Probably cheaper to pay in sterling via a revolt card or similar as sterling is taking a hammering.

    When I ordered last week there was less than €2 differential between ordering in Euro versus Sterling, the Euro price was cheaper.
    This was comparing to Visa Europe exchange rates on the day with the 1.75bank conversion fee...

    Transport was sterling so paid that in sterling.

    PS The smokeless ovoids have been €280 since February at least

    Have you compared the ovoids to what we get down this side ?

    I use ovoids and wouldnt mind getting a ton down, Just curious as to how they compare.

    You'll find pages and pages of posts with similar questions and answers. In short the ovoids are good.

    Simple.. order 2T this year, and 1T next year, and 1T the following year.

    I got 1T last yr, more than enough for me, I'll get another 1T this year, and none next year.

    Does coal have a "use by date" i.e. will it burn as good in five yrs time as it will now.?

    You are probably correct.
    But it is so simple to give a civil answer instead of acting like a King on a high horse.
    Thanks anyway

    I took it as a justification and identified source for the answer (if someone wanted to check the veracity of the answer) rather than any high horse.


    With regard to the prices from their facebook page - that is just the standard post they have up most months.

    Ordered late Tuesday afternoon and delivered Friday morning, I just piled up the bags out the back and left it at that, it will be October before I go near them, by all accounts the feedback is these are the ones to go for, I've a Stanley Erin stove with boiler heating 9-11 rads and previously used Cosy Glow ovoids from local supplier so this is my first foray up North...

    If you leave them outside the bags they disintegrate

    Would they mix a tonne as in half a tonne for stove half for open fire and if so which two are best options... I'm thinking smokeless ovoids (stove) and polish/doubles (open fire)...

    They'll mix and match however way you want. I asked about 20kg bags for coal that came in 40kg bags and they said thats OK we will rebag it for you.

    You can get less than a tonne if you want but you'll still pay the same amount for delivery because you are paying for a pallet to be delivered up to a tonne in weight.

    Depends how much sun they get on them? In full sun the bags on the top and sides where exposed to the sun go brittle and disintegrate. I wouldn't expect any of the bags to last more the 12 months in full sun.

    Spot on the bags break down over time... its head wrecking tbh when you need to move them after a few months

    If they have to be left outside then a cheap tarp will stop them disintegrating.

    Be careful if you have nuggets or any product with nuggets in the bag . These are made from lignite and easily ignite especially in warm weather.

    Just looking there.
    Kozyking,
    Tonne of Smokeless blend £249 + £19.99 deliver to southern Ireland. = less than €300 from what I can calculate. HERE
    This stuff as good as ovoids?

    No way. It will burn hotter but I wouldn't use it. I'm pretty sure there is pet coke in that blend and that destroys the baffles in stoves / fire grates as it burns too hot. Saying that some people swear by the stuff

    I have an open firs / backboiler which works grand with ovoids. I just find it takes a bit of time to get going.
    So I was thinking a Tonne of the above and a tonne of ovoids?

    I gave up on buying blocks. Dont really get the same heat from them for the cost.

    Did you ever try some kiln dried ash/beech. The heat from them is pretty impressive but as you said can be expensive

    I did indeed.
    I find they burn out too fast and produce less heat than ovoids. tbh.

    Never found that myself but fair enough. Because the wood has less water it gets lighting faster then seasoned wood. I put a log in when I'm lighting the fire as the ovoids need a bit of a kick in the arse to get going.

    Ordered another tonne of ovoids from CW so im sorted for the winter.

    Question: gonna order a tonne of coal for my mam who has an open fire (no back boiler in use) so any recommendations?

    (ps) CW throw in 2x25kg bags of slack with every tonne/pallet ordered ..nice little surprise.
