ali-s Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Has anyone had any experience of using Homefire ECoal in their multi fuel stove? ECoal is made from 30% renewable materials, 25% less co2 than house coal and burns longer than house coal. I could also use it on the open fire in the kitchen so we wouldn't need different storage areas for different fuels. I am looking for a product to put on the stove which will hopefully keep it going through the night. At the moment we are using hardwood logs and Heat Logs but the fire is out the next morning. If I can keep the fire going I can then switch off the storage heater and will be able to nudge the stove into life instead. Another option is Homefire Ovals which has 25% co2 than house coal but no renewable materials. any opinions on this product? BTW the homefire Heat Logs are brilliant. They are made from compressed sawdust. Burn for ages and have a great heat output. Struggling to find a bulk supplier up here but it seems they are easily available down South.

Chucky Mama Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I saw some heat logs in a fire shop last week and wondered if they were any good. I will give them a try. I am a great fan of Homefire ovals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I use the Homefire hexagonal briquettes on my open fire, they are also very good I also saw those logs the other day, in a pound shop. I was going to buy one but read the packaging (which you just set light to) and you aren't supposed to burn them with anything else, and I'm not sure I could use one in my woodburner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from B&Q on a 3 for 2 offer. They are loose in a plastic bag (if that makes sense) which weighs about 10kg or probably more. Another name for them is Eco Logs depending on the manufacturer. I have found a place that makes them in Perth but they don't deliver this far North. I still haven't got round to ordering any of the E Coal or the ovals. The bad weather set in and I don't think the coal lorry would get down the lane. It got stuck on the lane last winter in the snow and ice and had to be towed out by a friendly farmer and his tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
