    However imo the acids formed from the sulphur in smokey coal make it no better in that type of liner.

    I bought a ton of Arigna Ecobrite (seen on Done Deal) and had it delivered today (on the day I asked) and they carried each of the 25 bags of 40kg in and dropped them exactly where I wanted them and all for €425.

    I checked with a supplier in the north for a ton of Maxibrite (similar to Ecobrite) and the price was €422 (near enough) on a pallet and I would have to store all the bags myself.

    Sounds like they were casing the joint.

    Cannot fault Kozy King on delivery, ordered on Monday morning it's sitting in my garage as we speak. No hassle of arranging third party delivery, will report of performance at a later date/time.

    Not bought any from them for a couple of years but from Coal Warehouse for a stove it has to be ovoids.

    How much ovoids do you guys put down when lighting the fire? I bought a bag to try in my open fire, Stafford I think, 40kg for €23, put a layer down, took forever to light, when it finally got going the output wasn't that great,I'm throwing blocks on it to try and get some more heat.

    I could be just doing something wrong?

    If I'm not, I'm glad I didn't order a ton, as I might just get the doubles again as I find them super.

    Some people find them hard to light but rather than give you chapter and verse try this https://www.wikihow.com/Light-a-Smokeless-Fuel-Fire.

    Note the point on not stirring the fire up.

    Ovoids take a while to get used to, the guide posted below is very good
    I stack a block at the back of my stove before lighting the fire and then let the ovoids glow red before adding more and tend not to add blocks until the ovoids are down to small bits, I find the logs speed up the burning of the ovoids.
    Took me a few goes to master it, my first fire with ovoids we had to open the windows it was so hot

    Seems I didn't put enough space between the ovoids when lighting for them to catch, I'm used to using minimal kindling also when lighting with the doubles as they are fool proof, I'll make an adjustment tomorrow lighting them and see how I go, cheers for the wikihow! ðŸ˜

    I knew it was there because I'd read it before. You aren't the only one who has problems lighting ovoids in an open fire. In a stove there is forced air flow from the bottom up so you can get away with just a couple of sticks of kindling.

    I'm not impressed with the heat at all, they are lasting forever tho, just need to find my own balance I suppose!

    Where there’s no flame from them as such it can be very deceiving
    My stove is costing less than a tenner a week I’m using using ovoids and relord briquettes blocks. 40kg bag of ovoids would last me 3 weeks.
    An open fire is a different story though, worth trying anyway.
