Fuel for Log burner stove

Los Perez Wood Yard deliver.

we got their around 10am and it was rather busy then, think people are stocking up before the next rain fall.  Delivery is pot luck as you get assorted logs and some are rather large.   We now drive out and completely fill the boot with the size and type of logs we prefer.  

The other yard is in Dolores, but we prefer Los Perez. 

Hi we live in quasada and have always used Antonio who is Spanish and very reliable and good value, he always had his trailer at zoo market, we have just had a load of mixed logs 1 and half ton for €130 delivered.

His mobile number is 639111588, his English is very poor, so better to ring in the evening when his young daughter is in her English is good.

Cheers 

Thank you :)

Hi sorry Antonio’s daughter is called Rachel

This may help some people decide on logs or smokeless fuels,I decided to go and get a stove put in a very very large kitchen in a new house I’d just bought,so you could nearly have half the kitchen at the bottom end as a sitting room with a wall mounted tv ,the stove+ the fan which sat on the stove through out sensational heat,and it wasn’t long till you had to open the door through to the hall to let the heat escape upstairs. So the chap I new owned a very large store in the village that sold building supplies,bricks timber,electric supplies wood stoves,you can guess the type of stuff,now one morning I went in and he said” jimmy we are doing an experiment to see how the ( duck eggs) smokeless coal the shape of a ducks egg, compares to just burning logs,So say a 2 gallon plastic bucket worth of smokeless would burn for at least 12 hours if you put the full lot on and set the fire slightly open to a warm glow,which I found out through out tremendous heat,now this was in the middle of winter and very very cold outside,he said the smokeless duck eggs are readily available at Aldo for £3:50 that’s about a bucket and a half,once they are going they all crust up to one huge big red mass and looks really impressive and extremely hot. Next day he went down the log route,same heat setting and same time of 12 hours. It worked out he had to put logs on every 2 hours to fill the whole 🔥 fire ,and while it through out good heat,it wasn’t as good as the duck eggs which needed no attention,so you could go out round the town to come home to a roasting hot room,where as the logs might have went out if you were anymore longer than a couple of hours. Now the logs he sold himself were £5 a bag. So I went the smokeless route ,ALDI duck egg route and I honestly say they were brilliant,they still sell them aldi and lidl to day ,as I just seen them the other day,I just put a load of kindling on the bottom ( a gathered a poly bag of twigs when I took the dog out every morning, as they don’t spark and burn instantly with a fire lighter) . Now I’ve moved house and no longer have the stove,but boy do I miss it,cheapish heat at twenty odd quid a week buts that’s 12 hours a day which is very long and could easily be halfed If wanted,but I just wanted to let the good folks know of how the guy did the wood to the smokeless duck egg test,with no maintenance once you fill and light it. Hopefully this will help some folks....... jimmy.

Hi James 

I assume you are talking about Aldi/Lidl in the U.K. for these Duck eggs smokeless fuel as you haven’t made that clear in your post

Yeah,but have made  a further enquire to the local stores around here,and they will all be stocking the duck eggs from early summer,I was also told,there are other suppliers of duck eggs around,but might be more expensive,but you would never go back down the wood burning route,when you seen the heating efficiency of the smokeless,and stock up throughout the summer,so when winter arrives,no heating outlay at all,it’s the way to go .
