The most economical way to burn fuel is when its bone dry. Essentially if you put damp fuel into a lit fire/stove the fire used all its energy to dry the fuel before burning it which is counter-productive. Sometimes when fuel is wet mostly with damp wood or turf, it can lead to a build up of creosote and tars in chimneys. It tends to smoulder before it starts to burn properly. If this is not regularly removed from the chimney, burning a hot fire in the fireplace could ignite it and in some cases cause a chimney fire.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5

Ecobrite is the best performing fuel to burn in any closed appliance, solid fuel cooker, room heater or stove. It’s ideal to burn in a stove that just heats a room/area or if you have a stove and back boiler combination with some radiators off it. It’s a long-lasting fuel that’s very low in ash and provides great heat. It has also been approved by HETAS who are the official body recognised by the UK Government to approve biomass and solid fuel domestic heating appliances, fuels and services including the registration of competent installers and servicing businesses.

The simple answer is yes you can, but it may be difficult to light and to get going and burn effectively in your open fire. Cosyglo burns much better in an open fire as its designed for open fires. Ecobrite is a lower volatile product than Cosyglo which is why its harder to light or burn in an open fire.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5

HETAS are the official body recognised by the UK Government to approve biomass and solid fuel domestic heating appliances, fuels and services including the registration of competent installers and servicing businesses.

Yes you can burn Cosyglo or Cosyglo smokeless in your stove, cooker or closed appliance. It will burn very effectively the only disadvantage is if burning Cosyglo in a stove its may stain or discolor the glass over time (which can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or newspaper and vinegar) whereas Ecobrite is a smokeless fuel designed for stoves and therefore will not stain or discolor the glass at all.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5

Basically Ecobrite is made from Grade B Anthracite and Ecobrite Extra is made from Grade A Anthracite. They have similar burning characteristics except Ecobrite Extra lasts a longer and has slightly lower ash. Ecobrite Extra was developed some time ago for consumers who had older type Aga cookers / stoves that only heated a room and hot water / or a cooking oven. Because of the small firebox / chamber they needed a high quality long lasting product that would last a long time hence they use Ecobrite Extra. If you have a glass fronted stove or range heating a number of radiators then regular Ecobrite would be ideal for using in these appliances. Ecobrite extra would work very well also in these appliances but is slightly more expensive to purchase as it is made using a higher grade anthracite.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
