    Anywhere in Dublin do a decent price on these? My local place is a rip-off.

    What do you consider a decent price?

    Got an ad in the door yesterday and my local topline hardware store is doing them for €3.60 a bale and with every 5 bales you get a free Firebloc.

    Someone in Celbridge has an ad on Gumtree for bales at €2.50 each but they could be suss at that price...

    I'd think anything under €5 to be ok. Was going to stock up on load for the winter, so I'd be interested in bulk deals.

    €60 for 1 tonne loose (broken briquettes etc)

    Where is that? I've bought loose briquettes before in Galway and they are great value but is there anywhere in Dublin or nearby you can do the same?
