Hi Joeq, There man made ovoids ( see pic) . They have anthracite coating and some other magical mix which produces a smokless fuel which produces a high heat and everything burns to ash , so no clinker buildup . We have strict rules in the uk , so can’t burn bituminous coal , but wood , anthracite , and man made ovoids are allowed . Excel is the ovoids I use . £330 per tonne .

Hi , The anthracite that the coal merchant sells is mined in Wales . I have tried burning it in my stove but it is small in size and most falls thru the riddling bars unburnt into the ashpan . That’s why I use the ovoids they are large so fill the firepot and allow plenty of under air fire thru the grates to keep the fire going . I suspect our anthracite is a far more inferior product than your anthracite mined in the USA , plus it is more expensive.

Last posted when I had the Coalbrookdale installed, 11 months ago . If any of you have seen my recent posts I’m the proud owner of this Red Cross mica baseburner double heater . Apologies for the pics being sideways .

Hi Fred , since I’m using anthracite instead of excel the mica is keeping so much cleaner, just a quick wipe with diluted white wine vinegar, then clean water with the wife’s cotton wool throwaway eye makeup wipes and it’s clean as can be
