    I got coal for £6.20 a 25Kg bag (group 2 coal) from Ards Fuels on the Jubilee road in Newtownards. It's not too bad - a bit of charcoal lump "clinkers" left in the end but seems to burn well. I think they do delivery too if that's of any use too.

    They used to be called Supreme fuels and Ryker fuels (two that I can remember) but it's always in the same place and they stock logs, sticks, peat, oil etc too...
