Heat Logs £2.99 for 8 @ Aldi

Greenfires

You can use either mate. Kindling will always get a fire going faster, but a single cube of firelighter will light Hotties every time. I'd recommend breaking two briquettes into three bits each (crack them over the edge of another briquette) and then arranging the bits around and above the firelighter cube. Works every time!

Verdo heat logs from Home Bargains - £2.79 for a pack of 6 (10kg) - cheaper than you can get them from Verdo themselves

That's not a bad price for smokeless. Then again, I'd feel happier if I knew A/ whether it contained any petroleum coke and B/ met the sulphur requirements so that it didn't rot my liner (allegedly).

(Sorry - reply intended to follow savemoney's post).

I buy them every time I go to Home bargain they good. They use to be £2.49 this year they went up to £2.79 there still cheaper than many sites selling them in bulk

I prefer the Verdo to the Aldi ones but I dont have a HB near by. I also get a large order from a internet supplier of 960kg of briquettes in Summer when they a little cheaper

I have been trying the "Aldi" briquettes along with a few others, so in order of preference for anyone interested, all are burnt in a cleanburn Firefox 5.1 (DEFRA approved, so the secondary air from the top cant be turned down very much at all)

1. My favourite Excel from white horse, very dense, heavy, hard log, only possible to break with a hammer 5 per 10Kg pack. need some air from below to burn well, nice flame zero expansion very little ash and will last anything up to 3 hours depending on air settings, but best when burnt over 60~90 min. Can only find on WHE website so need to buy a pallet at a time to get price down, space makes this impractical for me.

2. Verdo from Home Bargains. At £2.79 a great buy and the ones I use, 6 in a 10Kg pack, easy to break (don’t know why some seem to be struggling with this), break into 4 to light, and 2 once fire established. Burn well with some nice embers left after 90 min or so, no bottom air at all, leave very little ash.

3. UK Heat Logs from Aldi. At £2.99 another good buy, 8 in a 10Kg pack, easy to break these burn with a ferocious flame and masses of heat even with the air turned as low as my DEFRA stove will allow. Expand to 3x original size (Bit of a problem in my stove, but not a deal breaker) and leave very little ash, only get a max of 50 min from these.

4. Golden Coal from Durham Heat Logs. At £4.50 for a 20Kg bag these initially seem a great buy, but they are much smaller in diameter and varying in length some as short as 1 inch. Burn easily and initially very hot they soon disintegrate into a pile of glowing sawdust, after a few hours need to burn something else to allow the pile of sawdust to burn completely. Produces about 5x the ash of the other 3 briquettes I have tried, and will not be getting any more of these.

Went in Aldi yesterday, and they had these in stock again!
