Designed specifically for open fires and multi-fuel stoves, Ecoalhas a larger hexagonal shape (75 x 40mm), which enhances airflow and helps pump out a more efficient heart. Our sustainable, smokeless coal produces 40% less carbon dioxide than standard house coal, as well as 80% less smoke.

Invest in a good smokeless fuel and enjoy your stove for many years to come! Are you looking for a new multi fuel stove? Ecoal has been designed for open fires and multi-fuel stoves, where its larger hexagonal shape (75 x 40mm) promotes airflow resulting in attractive flames and loads of heat. Thanks to its high and sustained heat output, burning Ecoal can work out cheaper than burning house coal or kiln-dried firewood because individual bags are more expensive, and you use less for the same heat. The body is pushing for an “inclusive” international policy framework that supports the rights of coal producing and consuming countries as pressure intensifies to phase out the fossil fuel, which is the single biggest contributor to man-made climate change.The story behind our Ecoal is a fascinating one. It is made using crushed olive stones, which are a by-product of olive oil production. Annually, the world produces approximately 21.2 million tons of olives, a staggering amount! We eat the fleshy outside of olives or use them to create olive oil, one of the most sought-after products in many European countries. Olive oil production accounts for around 4% of agricultural land in the EU, highlighting its popularity. While it is relatively cheap and easy to produce, it’s negatives far outweigh these minor benefits. Instead of normal coal, it is now encouraged that all households use smokeless coal – in fact, this type of fuel will probably be seen as ‘normal’ in just a few years! You should also consider the size of the briquettes you buy. Visually, a good chunky briquette or oval piece of fuel helps your stove produce a lovely flame display. Just make sure they fit nicely into your stove. Remember, larger briquettes might be harder to light, too. You can find out more about the ban on burning coal on our blog. What is the best smokeless fuel for multi fuel stoves?

Innovators have also found ways to turn other food waste products into fuel, including banana skins and sugar cane . Some folk also swear by the use of horse manure as a fuel source for their stoves (it doesn’t give off any kind of smell when burned, but it does need to be collected and dried out before use – so it may not be the most attractive or practical solution). Not all of these fuel sources are widely available in the UK yet, but we’re excited to see more and more innovative ideas like these come to the fore. Until recently, the stones within olives were simply discarded, as they could neither be eaten nor used for other purposes. However, olive pits are now regarded as an excellent source of biomass , alongside the likes of coffee grounds, rice and barley husks, and grape stalks.

Homefire can be burnt in smokeless zones. It is also Ready to Burn approved, meaning it has been tested as safe and fit for use on open fires and multi-fuel stoves. Our local delivery covers these postcodes: TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4, TN5, TN6, TN7, TN8, TN9, TN10, TN11, TN12, TN13, TN14, TN15, TN17, TN18, TN19, TN20, ME14, ME15, ME16, ME17, ME18, ME19, ME20.

Of course it’s important to buy yourself the best multi fuel stove possible – one that is efficient, provides plenty of heat and looks good in your room. Our Ecoal is one of the most sustainable and environmentally-friendly fuel sources available. It produces less smoke, CO2, and more heat than both coal and wood. All told, using Ecoal50 instead of traditional house coal can save you up to 80% in smoke emissions and 40% in carbon dioxide.Many fuel brands manufacture logs that burn easily and economically. These eco logs are made from recycled wood fibre, which, like dry wood, means that burning them doesn’t release any new carbon products into the atmosphere. It also means that no new trees have to be cut down to make them, either. Eco logs are made from compressed sawdust, which is left over from manufacturing processes, and this material would have otherwise gone to waste. If possible, it’s even better if you can source UK-made eco logs to minimise the carbon footprint of making and delivering the fuel for your small wood stove. If a Coal deposit can be found early game, it is useful as fuel in crafting stations such as the Campfire, Bloomery and Kiln. Once the Blast Furnace is built, Coal is outclassed by the availability of Charcoal.
