Bord Na Mona Irish Peat Briquettes (20-22 Fire Logs), Brown

I have bought these briquettes twice now.... don't know why I waited so long to buy a second time. I love the smell. Conjures up memories of Ireland. They are Hard and compressed, very tidy, and they burn for hours and give off that subtle Irish Peat smell that you just can't find anywhere else. I don't use them stand alone but rather as an addition to a wood fire. The wood does disguise the smell a bit, but the peat smell, "ah the peat smell" does find it's way into the air. I love them at the lower price. 90 bucks seems like a bit much to me but at 49, for a winter season of that added scent in the air, I think it's worth it. They also burn long and slow and give off a cozy warmth. I'll buy them again next year.

Burns long and smells great, excellent for firepit or chimney outdoors

While vacationing in Ireland this summer, we experienced first-hand the wonderful smell of a peat/turf fire for the first time. We loved the smell of peat so much while we were still vacationing in Ireland that we bought these via Amazon so they would be waiting for us when we got home. We got back from the Emerald Isle anxious to reminisce over our own peat fire and can confirm that, yes, these are definitely authentic peat. They have a wonderful aroma that takes us back to our charming memories of Ireland every time we light a fire with them. The entire neighborhood smells amazing with just a few briquettes on the fire-pit outside. Two thumbs up and highly recommended. Just a note that these are a bit difficult to get lit. It took us a few tries, but you really need to have a small hot fire going or a good bed of coals going before placing the peat into the fire. We found the easiest way to get them burning is by using small to medium kindling to get a good hot fire going. Stack two or more briquettes on the kindling, leaving plenty of room for air. With enough heat, they will light and burn with a bluish flame and a coal-like appearance.

Expensive, but I enjoy them. To get the peat aroma you have to split them in two. I throw the split halves in with my wood fire.

These are perfect on a rainy night. They put out a good amount of heat. I recommend Using them with firewood if you’re not used to burning peat,As it is difficult to start Peat That is compressed that densely

A friend of mine gave me a box of peat bricks several years ago and I got hooked with the smell. I ran out eventually and I was looking to get some more. I’ve had this in my cart literally for over 2 years. It just seemed too expensive. I finally pulled the trigger and purchased this and I’m glad I did. I sometimes break up the peat and use smaller pieces on top of charcoal disks. The larger pieces I put into our nightly fires in our fire pit. The price may seem expensive. However, you get a lot of peat for the price.

This is a terrific product. The smell takes me back to wonderful evenings in the local pub. I use them in an old fashioned wood stove. One brick is a perfect size and burns for a good 2-3 hours. I do need to have a reasonable coal bed before putting the brick on.

I love these to the moon and back. Peat is one of my favorite smells. I marked low only in value because well I only use them as huge incense sticks. They are by no means cost effective to heat with. But are great for nostalgic purposes.
