artic 595 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 For all the multi fuel stove owners, what do you burn to get efficient performance? Coal and wood, or either one alone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danw 1,748 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 For all the multi fuel stove owners, what do you burn to get efficient performance? Coal and wood, or either one alone? we burn wood through the day then last thing throw on some anthracite to keep it in over night our burner is small so if we just put wood on last thing even damped right down its gone by the morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artic 595 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 When I had an open fire I used both wood and coal together. Now with the stove and liner i'm just burning wood. Have read that wood and coal is a no no, then others say it's ok?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,770 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 For best prolonged heat. Put a log on first then a shovel of coal on top, but i keep my doors open when it is cold, treat it like an open fire. To bank it up for the night coal only, wood does not last long enough.

I thought that was a secret? Not quite a stove, I've fitted an all night burner. Am using % wood when I'm around, then a couple of shovels of Excel smokeless when I got out or to bed, it burns all night (as it should) Best I've had so far was 10 hours, and it was still glowing hot enough to just put a few small bits of wood on and get going again. Really pleased with this, it is sealed to the sides and bottom of the Milner brick, you can shut it right down, almost like you would a stove, obviously it doesn't have the radiator effect a stove would have but it's like Barbados in here now anyway!

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It hasn't got a door or a lid http://www.c20fireplaces.co.uk/parts/star-black-all-night-burner-18-inch It is bascially a bigger (around 25% more space to put fuel in) more controllable open fire.
