What is smokeless fuel?
“Smokeless coal” is a common name for manufactured solid fuels such as ovals and briquettes. Each product has its own specification and permitted uses.
Smokeless does not mean emission-free
Burning solid fuel still produces emissions, including carbon monoxide. Always follow your appliance instructions, maintain ventilation and keep the appliance and flue properly maintained.
Choose a product that suits your appliance
Check the manufacturer's permitted fuel types before buying. A multi-fuel appliance and a wood-only stove have different requirements. The exact product description matters more than a broad label such as “coal”.
What about smoke control areas?
Fuel authorisation and appliance exemption are separate checks. See the official smoke-control rules and confirm suitability for your location and appliance.
