What is Smokeless Coal and Anthracite?
Smokeless coal is a specially manufactured fuel designed to burn cleanly with very little visible smoke. It is approved for use in Smoke Control Areas and produces a high, steady heat output with minimal ash. This makes it a reliable and efficient choice for heating your home.
Anthracite is a naturally occurring form of hard coal, primarily sourced from Wales. It has a very high carbon content, which means it burns hotter and longer than ordinary house coal. Unlike traditional coal, smokeless fuels and anthracite do not produce thick smoke, sparks or excessive soot, making them cleaner and more controllable.
All of the smokeless fuels we supply in Penzance meet current UK regulations and carry the Woodsure Ready to Burn certification. This guarantees they have been tested and approved for clean burning performance.
What is Coal For?
Coal is ideal if you have an open fire. It produces a strong, consistent heat and creates an attractive glowing bed of embers that lasts for hours. Once established, coal requires very little attention compared to logs, making it a convenient and dependable fuel during colder weather.
Smokeless coal and anthracite are particularly well suited to:
-
Open fireplaces
-
Multi-fuel stoves
-
Certain traditional solid fuel appliances
Unlike kiln dried logs, which burn best in a controlled wood-burning stove environment, coal performs extremely well in open fires where airflow is less restricted. It delivers long burn times, high heat output and excellent value, especially when purchased in multi-buy quantities.
If you are unsure whether smokeless coal or anthracite is right for your appliance in Penzance, our team at Logan's Logs are always happy to offer advice.
Getting The Coal Fire Started
Use our natural firelighters and kiln dried kindling to get your coal fire started. Ensure your coal is dry as it won't light easily if moisture is present. Lay kindling on top of a bed of coal and mound more coal on top of that. Insert a wood wool firelighter among the kindling and light. Kiln dried kindling has a low moisture content so will light easily. It can help to add one or two kiln dried logs to your fire to start with in order to get the coals hot enough to glow.
Once glowing, the coal will burn slowly and hot. The temperature inside the fire could reach 1000 degrees hot making your room warm and home welcome.
Alternatives to Coal
If your home is not suitable for coal, there are alternatives. We sell heat logs made from compressed waste materials such as sawdust alongside coal, as well as kindling and charcoal. These briquettes offer warmth on an open fire or wood burning stove at a low cost.
We also sell a range of kiln dried hardwood logs. Kiln dried firewood is available for purchase in Penzance, is known for its low moisture content (typically below 20%), is ready to burn immediately, and is preferred for its high heat output and efficiency. Firewood can also be used in pizza and bread ovens or alongside our BBQ charcoal for cooking outdoors. Local suppliers in Penzance offer delivery services for kiln dried firewood.
We stock a range of bottled gas supplied by Flogas.
Our store also stocks garden and outdoor supplies for both professional and amateur gardeners.
Reviews for Logan's Logs in Penzance
I am very happy with the overall performance of Logan’s logs from order to delivery, with the small exception that delivery was later than expected. I appreciate this may have been down to traffic, and they were left where I suggested. I will certainly order from them again.
Jeremy Spanton – Penzance
Very well organised and efficient delivery The driver was very helpful and managed to manoeuvre the truck into the best position to drop the load in exactly the right place. The hardwood logs are very good quality logs as usual.
