Blog »  Can Smokeless Coal be Used for Open Fires?

Smokeless coal, just like your traditional coal, can be used on open fires and burns quite efficiently in a fireplace or for open fires. If you need coal for a smoke-controlled area, smokeless coal might be your only option. Even if that isn’t the case, smokeless coal is still a great option as it is efficient and has a high heat output.
 
The other benefit of using this is that it emits much less smoke. With an open fire the smoke will typically go out through the chimney, although some smoke still enters the room. Smokeless coal will greatly reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted, reducing the volume of harmful particles that may enter your room.
 
Since smokeless coal is more commonly used these days, and is in general a better option, how about giving it a try? If you are planning to try it out, we offer plenty of options. A great option to start with is Homefire Ovals, which is acknowledged as one of the best fuels for open fires and multi fuel stoves. Homefire smokeless coal combines the traditional benefits of a real fire with the easily controllable, high heat and long burning qualities of a modern smokeless fuel.
