Winter in the west has its own rhythm - the first frosts, shorter days, and that moment when the fire becomes the heart of the home again. ECOFUEL™, founded here in Galway in 2014, has been part of that story for over a decade, delivering kiln-dried firewood and wood briquettes to families across the county and beyond. Since expanding to Dublin in 2020, the company now ships nationwide, but Galway is still where the journey began.
This year, ECOFUEL™ is marking the season in a different way: by giving something back. The ECOFUEL™ winter giveaway will see 80 winners share €10,000 in gift cards, with prizes ranging from €100 to €1,000. Entry is free, one entry covers the entire draw, and winners will be announced in early December, just in time to brighten Christmas.
Many Galway households already know ECOFUEL™ for its CityBag® of kiln-dried logs, or for its flagship eco-logs like EcoBriquettes and Pinikay heat logs. Beyond homes, the company also supplies its Forno1889® briquettes to wood-fired pizzerias nationwide, including right here in the west, where chefs value the steady, clean heat.
For ECOFUEL™, sustainability isn’t just a slogan. Every log and briquette comes from FSC®-certified forests, and as a proud member of 1% for the Planet, the company helps support reforestation projects here in Ireland.
Founder Janis Vitols explains: “Galway is where it all started for us. Every winter, we’re reminded that our customers are the reason we’ve come this far. The winter giveaway is about giving back, a thank you to the community that has carried us for more than a decade.”
