With the new regulations regarding smokeless fuel, I'm trying all the various new 'processed' fiels, and have just taken delivery of some Smokeless Wildfire from Corralls. We used to have the 'full fat' stuff but that's not available now.
This is really a mixture of (as they say) "Wildfire is a seamless blend of three types of fuel. Anthracite, coal, and petroleum coke. Wildfire takes on the best characteristics of each fuel, making it easy to light, low in ash, and a high heat producer."
I was wondering about the petrol coke, but there again, if it gets down to the fine ash they claim, and it used to anyway, I've got plenty of places where I can use it now! It's odd, but I always assumed that such ash was 'acidic', and therefore not a good idea, hence my interest in using it properly now! I should have tested it really.:0~
We're using just one open fire this year, and not heating up the conservatory with electricity, and the cost is a little higher, but certainly the lounge room is much more comfortable with some real heat!
Great info John, thank you!
