Benefits of Solid Fuel to Heat Your Home

- Affordability: Solid fuel is often more affordable than other energy sources, such as natural gas and electricity.
- Sustainability: Solid fuel can be produced from sustainable sources, such as wood and biomass.
- Efficiency: Solid fuel is a very efficient source of energy, meaning that you can get more heat from less fuel.
Types of Solid Fuel
There are a variety of different types of solid fuel available, each with its own unique benefits. Some of the most common types of solid fuel include:
- Smokeless Coal: Smokeless coal is a type of solid fuel that burns with little or no smoke. It is made from anthracite, which is the highest-grade coal. Anthracite has a very high carbon content and low volatile matter, which means that it burns cleanly and efficiently, and complies with smokeless fuel regulations.
- Hard Wood: Wood is a renewable source of energy that is relatively clean-burning. It is also a versatile fuel that can be used in various appliances, including fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet boilers.
- Soft Wood: Softwood is a type of wood that comes from evergreen trees, such as pine, spruce, and fir. Softwood is easier to split and season than hardwood, which makes it a popular choice for firewood. It is also easy to ignite and burns quickly and is relatively inexpensive, making it an ideal choice for heating homes.
- Briquettes: Briquettes are a type of solid fuel that is made by compressing biomass materials into a solid block. Biomass materials include wood chips, sawdust, agricultural waste, and even municipal solid waste. Briquettes are a clean burning fuel, are easy to store, and contain a lot of heating energy for a small product.
