Our multifuel stove should be in by the end of the week.
We've ordered some smokeless briquettes to get us going but interested in what to look for longer term winter usage.
When boating we just used to get what we could when we could but we have the ability to get something more consistently at home....
What should we be looking for?

Personally I use Wildfire which is very clean burning, although for some reason it is not recommended for multifuel stoves by the manufacturer. Mark on the fuel boat seems to sell quite a lot of it to boaters. Most important thing with any solid fuel is to buy it at Summer prices when it is about £80 per tonne cheaper than it is now.

Yes cheers we are buying at the wrong time to get the best price for both wood and smokeless. Next year we will be in a better position, the wood store will be built next week along with the coal bunker so we plan to stock up during the summer. |

I should have added we live in a smoke control area....
The stove is DEFRA approved for the burning of wood.

Well dried/seasoned logs. Don't listen to the hardwood/softwood rubbish. A good mix of wood is fine assuming it's moustier content is below 25%.. A cheap moisture meter will be your friend when buying.
Might be worth you posting on a forum called Arbtalk, plenty of log blokes on there.

I burn anthracite doubles on the Rayburn with wood to get it up to cook temp fast. If I fill it to the gunwales it will burn for between 36-40 hours on one fill, I have just collected a tonne for £270 so good value for me. It is naturally smokeless and burns hot however most stoves cant burn it

I burn wood, stove is a 3 stage clean burn, just not got the DEFRA ticket. Woodpile could hold 5 or 6 cuMtrs.

Mostly Brazier and any wood I find (bit of a lack of woodland in inner east London)
40p/kilo from Wickes. In 10kg bags. I love 10kg bags. Just bought 210kg of it yesterday as it happens.
I like briquettes made from wood waste but they can't be kept outside so not able to store much of it.

So that's where all the hedgehogs have gone. Home Bargains also do a decent offer on Brazier smokeless (40p/kg) again in the godlike 10kg bags. |
