Frequently Asked Questions
Your firewood questions, answered.
What Types of Coal Can I Buy Online?
At Firewood.co.uk, we offer a range of solid fuels to suit different setups, including approved smokeless coal designed for modern homes. Whether you’re using a multi-fuel stove or another solid fuel appliance, you’ll find options that deliver reliable, consistent heat.
What’s the Difference Between House Coal and Smokeless Coal?
Traditional house coal is known for its bright flame and easy lighting, but it’s no longer widely permitted for domestic use. Smokeless fuel is designed to burn hotter and cleaner, producing far less smoke. It’s the go-to choice for Smoke Control Areas and for anyone looking for a more efficient, compliant fuel.
Can I Use Coal in a Wood-Burning Stove?
In most cases, no. Wood-burning stoves are usually designed for logs only. If you want to burn coal or smokeless fuel, you’ll need a multi-fuel stove or another appliance specifically approved for solid fuel use. Always check your appliance manufacturer’s guidance before ordering so you choose a product that is safe, efficient, and suitable for your setup.
How Do I Choose the Right Coal?
It depends on your appliance, how you want the fuel to burn, and whether you need a smokeless option. For most UK households, smokeless fuel offers the best balance of strong heat, long burn and lower emissions. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to help you choose the right product.
Is Smokeless Coal Better for the Environment?
Smokeless fuels are designed to produce fewer emissions and less visible smoke than traditional coal. That makes them a cleaner-burning option and suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas across the UK.
How Should I Store Coal at Home?
Keep your solid fuel dry and sheltered, ideally in a bunker or sealed container. Dry fuel lights more easily, burns more efficiently, and is far easier to handle when you need it.
