Shaun,

Akinlar and most good supermarkets sell the reconstituted garden waste briquettes for approx 3tl a bag of 5, they burn well but not as long as the olive ones, but olive ones are more expensive, try them out and see what you think.

Talking of fire kindling and stuff, if you want a laugh, have a look at the price of it in Homecentre the next time you are over there, I couldn't believe how expensive logs, and stick are.

I'm being quoted 250TL for a "tonne/ton" of logs at the moment.

Anyone in Alsancak area know a more realistic price?

There's plenty of kindling on waste ground for free.

Bought some in a white bag at Atakara this morning but they were 14.99 tl. not 10 tl. They are different to what we were buying last year and there are more in the sack. Burnt really well.

There is an article advertised that compresses wet newspaper into burnable blocks.
