Bord Na Mona 25kg Irish Peat Briquettes - 2 x 12.5kg Bales

Product Information

it is nice to know from some peat experts how to manage our first experience with the peat briquettes (I probably would NOT have thought about a covered vessel until after the first attempt at removing the ash and the resulting mess and subsequent clean up)! All of of our kiln dried logs are ready to burn meaning they meet the latest guidelines for burning wood in smoke control areas.

Briquettes have been made here since the mid-19th century, though production ramped up to counter fuel shortages after the Second World War. Our peat briquettes are perfect for creating that homely feeling you can only get with the scent of burning real Irish peat. When we came to light the fire the next afternoon, the embers were still burning and the ashes red hot.If you have never experienced the magical smell that is given off from this type of fuel then you have never lived! From a more scientific view point, burning peat is a low sulphur alternative to burning logs or coal and provides a superb heat output and a long lasting burn. It takes centuries for a peat bog to regenerate not to mention the carbon dioxide dispatched on its not so merrily way.

Bord na Mona (BnM) is to close its last remaining peat briquette plant at Derrinlough, Co Offaly, with the loss of 62 jobs.
