Brazier Multi Purpose Smokeless Fuel 20Kg

Great product. Burns really well

These coals are quite good light easily but don’t burn so hot

Sorry this is a long review just wanted to address everythingeverything! So I was a little concerned when reading the reviews about the product being quite smokey, smelling bad and not burning too hot. We have a log fire and were going through tons of wood a night (maybe 12 pieces). I didn't really want to buy coal as I know it creates more ash and also requires your chimney to be swept regularly. I took the plunge and bought a bag and I absolutely love it. We've used maybe 1/3rd of a bag in over a week. It doesn't spit like wood does, because the coal creates heat from the embers rather than a flame we've found that if we leave our log fire door open slightly with a fire guard it let's in a huge amount of heat. You can also keep the door closed which generates enough heat. We like to open the door so it heats up 3 rooms (and that's barely using any coal) To light I place 4 lit firelighters on the Base, add kindling and 1 piece of wood. Wait for that to burn hot and add about 10 pieces of coal. After about an hour I'll then add a scoop of coal and that will last all day, so for an evening I'd say maybe half of that would be sufficient. Regarding the smoke, when you first place it in the coating causes smoke, it doesn't "smoke out" the house we just leave the door closed. The smoke only lasts maybe 3 mins or so. Wood also causes a small amount of smoke and so do heat logs. In comparison to old fashioned coal it generates barely any smoke. And comparing it to logs and heat logs I would say it doesn't generate any more than they do. The trick being add about 10 pieces to begin with then add more after an hour. You wouldn't just shove 15 logs on a fire and expect it not to smoke... This is no different. After about an hour or two when the coal has turned ember we open the door and it heats up our whole living room, kitchen and hallway. You can always add a log or two for flames and additional heat. As you can see from the pic our log fire is quite small I've bought another bag which will probably last about 3-4 weeks. Thanks guys, great product!

As a late comer to coal, burning logs for the past 10 years, I just thought I would try it, WOW, what a difference!! Simply put, your fires will burn hotter & much, much longer, I have an open fire, with an 'All Night Burner' grate and if you load it up late at night with wood & coal, it's still ready to go in the morning with just a little raking & a log or kindling if it's very flat. Longest running fire I've had was over Christmas about 5 or 6 days without a break ;-) Another coal benefit is that you can burn very large or slightly damp logs, when otherwise the fire might go out under the strain. When the fire has an orange hot base of coal, add your largest log and it will go for hours without any work from you. I've also tried a bag of regular coal, which is half the price of this, but it's not worth it, it's messy & doesn't burn anywhere near as long or hot. Only downsides from wood only are you have to empty the grate after a full day or so of use whereas wood doesn't fill until about 5 uses and coal dirties the chimney much more than quality woods. My advice, even if you'd rather not use it, just have a small bucket of coal in a decorative container next to the fire, it looks nice & gives you more options when you need them, you can go out for hours with coal, with wood only the fire will be out when you get home. Happy Burning!

Decent solid fuel, clean burn

150 °C at best on the flue thermometer which is far too low for good fire performance. It blackens the stove glass quickly and we have to run the fire flat out just to get a bit of warmth which means it burns away in no time. The effectiveness is poor and the fire power is nothing like other fuels we have used. The ash is ridiculous. We are emptying the ash pan on our 8 kW stove halfway through a burn which I have never had to do before. The longevity is terrible and the quality is not what I expected. Save your money and buy a better fuel with proven performance.

Absolutely fantastic product at a great price but I’ve ordered 2 x deliveries and was placing a third order for 2 bags and it said u couldn’t get any more from this seller Very unusual as item is still for sale and In stock so I can only assume they limit what you can have

not good this time , wet and not burning well at all .
