The cold weather is no match for HouseFuel's solid fuel range this winter! Don't let the chilly nights win; purchasing some of the best Firewood and Smokeless Fuel options can warm everybody in your home with little stress.
Here, we’ll look at which fuels you should consider buying this winter and what they can offer your fire at home.
Smokeless Coal
Typically made from anthracite, smokeless coal briquettes have a high carbon content and low volatility, so the energy they contain can be utilised more efficiently; a more efficient solid fuel means it will burn hotter and for longer. The lengthy duration of these briquettes will save you money compared to house coal, as your fire will sustain for longer, requiring you to top up less frequently.
You can use the power of smokeless fuel in your multi-fuel stove or fireplace without worrying about emissions, reducing your carbon footprint and avoiding potential Particulate Smoke Matter. All HouseFuel smokeless coal products are Ready To Burn certified for a clean and safe fire. Remember that smokeless coal isn't suitable for use in a wood burner because of the temperatures it can reach. However, these temperatures are often viewed as a positive aspect of the product because they can heat your home quickly.
Our Smokeless Ovals, Stovemaster, Superheat Smokeless, and Burnrite Smokeless products all promise a low ash content compared to what you’d expect from old-fashioned coal to reduce your cleaning job afterwards.
Kiln-Dried Firewood
It's challenging to beat the authentic sight and smell of a real wood log fire, which is why kiln-dried firewood appeals to many. Winter is never quite as good without the sight of a roaring log fire, and our kiln-dried logs have a low enough moisture content that you can expect intense heat and durable flames.
Whether you need a bag or crate of kiln-dried wood, it's always a good idea to replenish your supply of this responsibly sourced product so you'll never be caught short. If you are going to stock wood away for next time, it needs to be in an airy but dry space, we recommend a garden shed as an ideal solution to keep moisture out of the logs and give them the oxygen they need to maintain quality.
Summary
For a good reason, kiln-dried logs and smokeless coal are prominent choices in today's solid fuel market. With the correct fire-building techniques and essentials, maintaining the flames will be easier and safer with these choices than with house coal or unseasoned wood.
