Chalklate Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi NewbieWe buy 'wood briquettes' from Jewsons. They cost about £3.70 for a pack of 6. They will easily take a bulk order and would probably deliver, depending on where you live....I guess.We find they are very economic as they give out an excellent heat and last for ages.

paulb Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 transport cost to fetlar would cost a fair bit. maybe better to see if you can find a local peat bank for next year. consider a ton of coal it works out a little cheaper.

mikeyboy Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 You can get a bulk delivery of coal and there is always fence posts on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorrie Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Make sure the stove is a genuine multi-fuel and not a woodburner, otherwise there's a chance that burning coal in it will warp the whole thing. We've a Bosca woodburner we bought from what is now Jewsons, burns peats really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
