The Ecoal High Heat Long Lasting Smokeless Coal from Storm Trading Group is an ideal heating solution for homeowners using open fires or multi-fuel stoves who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing thermal performance. Crafted from compressed olive stones, this fuel delivers a high heat output and an exceptionally long burn time, making it perfect for keeping living spaces consistently warm throughout the day. While it offers a significantly cleaner burn than traditional fuels, users should be aware that the unique large hexagonal shape requires a slightly different approach to fire laying compared to standard loose coals.

Yes, Ecoal is a smokeless fuel and is generally suitable for use in smoke-controlled zones, but check your local regulations.
Yes, you can mix Ecoal with wood, though the coal will likely outlast the wood, providing a consistent base of heat.
Ecoal is designed to burn efficiently, leaving behind a manageable amount of residual ash that is easily removed.
It is made from crushed olive stones, which is a natural byproduct of olive oil production.
No, standard fire tongs or a shovel are sufficient to handle the hexagonal briquettes safely.
Store them in a cool, dry place off the ground, such as a garage or dry shed, to keep them free from moisture.
Ensure you are using a generous amount of high-quality, dry kindling to build a deep bed of embers before adding the Ecoal.
The airflow may be too restricted; adjust your stove air vents to allow more oxygen to reach the fuel bed.
Check that the chimney is warm and drawing correctly; also ensure the coal is stored in a dry place to prevent dampness.
Ecoal is compatible with most multi-fuel stoves and open hearths. To ensure optimal performance, always store the bags in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect ignition. When setting up your fire, ensure your grate is clear of ash to allow maximum airflow from beneath the fuel bed. Routine maintenance of your chimney or flue remains necessary, though the smokeless nature of this fuel will likely reduce the frequency of heavy creosote buildup. Always follow your stove manufacturer's guidelines regarding permitted fuels.
