Burning wood and other solid fuels
Burn wood and solid fuel together
The Best of Both Worlds
Many people burn both solid fuel (such as Homefire ecoal) and logs (choose from Kiln Dried Logs , Seasoned Logs , Hardwood Logs , Softwood Logs or Fire Logs) together because this type of fire gives the heat and longevity of a solid fuel fire combined with the lovely aroma and flames of a log fire.
This results in a range of economic, practical and aesthetic benefits to the user.
Time to enjoy yourself
If you've come in from work and decided to settle down in front of the TV for the evening or you're hosting a dinner party or looking after the grandchildren, you might not wish to have to tend to your fire quite so frequently and therefore burning additional solid fuels (like Homefire ecoal for instance) alongside logs or wood fuel products will help your fire burn hotter and for longer. An additional solid fuel can be used to bank the fire making it last many hours.
A mixed fuel fire will give you more time to enjoy yourself than a log fire alone.
Looking after your appliance
Appliances have their own idiosyncracies - from their positioning in the home, to the length of the chimney, the materials of construction and the size of the fire bed to name a few. They are all different in some way and this creates the character of your particular stove or wood burning device.
Over time, you get to appreciate what works and doesn't work with your appliance.
Driving out moisture
Most people who burn wood in an appliance know that it can be beneficial to burn other solid fuels alongside logs and fire logs so that the residual moisture content of the log is diminished.
Burning a drier fire will help prolong the life of your appliance as you will likely drive out more moisture at a faster rate and reduce the build up of any tar.
Moisture can be devastating in some chimneys, where it can accumulate in sections that either twist and turn or those that are exposed to a different temperature variants. Where there is moisture build up from burning fires that are too wet, often rust can follow which presents it's own set of complications.
