Decent quality but nothing special
I bought this bag of branded smokeless fuel (and Brazier/Homefire seem to be fairly well-known) to compare with Aldi’s cheaper version. To be honest, I haven’t noticed a lot of difference (if any) but the price of the Brazier branded fuel is significantly higher. So whilst the fuel definitely does what it should, stays alight for a long time and kicks out a lot of heat (hence the four stars) it loses out on value because cheaper equivalent fuel is easily available.

Burns smokeless but not much flame
If you use this in conjunction with wood you can keep a nice warm fire going for ages, on its own however it soon becomes a very dull glow (leaving half burned coal)

Soaking wet
This is a very useful product for people with open fires. However the coals are often soaking wet which makes them difficult to light.

How did it burn
I’m using my fire to reduce the use of gas. This product, different to the one I normally use, was just as satisfactory in keeping the fire lit overnight

Great product, please read review for info
Sorry this is a long review just wanted to address everythingeverything!
So I was a little concerned when reading the reviews about the product being quite smokey, smelling bad and not burning too hot. We have a log fire and were going through tons of wood a night (maybe 12 pieces). I didn’t really want to buy coal as I know it creates more ash and also requires your chimney to be swept regularly.
I took the plunge and bought a bag and I absolutely love it. We’ve used maybe 1/3rd of a bag in over a week. It doesn’t spit like wood does, because the coal creates heat from the embers rather than a flame we’ve found that if we leave our log fire door open slightly with a fire guard it let’s in a huge amount of heat. You can also keep the door closed which generates enough heat. We like to open the door so it heats up 3 rooms (and that’s barely using any coal)
To light I place 4 lit firelighters on the Base, add kindling and 1 piece of wood. Wait for that to burn hot and add about 10 pieces of coal. After about an hour I’ll then add a scoop of coal and that will last all day, so for an evening I’d say maybe half of that would be sufficient.
Regarding the smoke, when you first place it in the coating causes smoke, it doesn’t "smoke out" the house we just leave the door closed. The smoke only lasts maybe 3 mins or so. Wood also causes a small amount of smoke and so do heat logs. In comparison to old fashioned coal it generates barely any smoke. And comparing it to logs and heat logs I would say it doesn’t generate any more than they do. The trick being add about 10 pieces to begin with then add more after an hour. You wouldn’t just shove 15 logs on a fire and expect it not to smoke… This is no different.
After about an hour or two when the coal has turned ember we open the door and it heats up our whole living room, kitchen and hallway. You can always add a log or two for flames and additional heat. As you can see from the pic our log fire is quite small
I’ve bought another bag which will probably last about 3-4 weeks.
Thanks guys, great product!
