Homefire Ecoal Smokeless Coal – Premium Eco-Friendly Fuel

Homefire Ecoal is an innovative smokeless coal made from crushed olive stones – a natural waste product from olive oil production. This eco-friendly fuel produces less smoke, less CO₂, more heat, and lasts longer than traditional coal or wood, making it an exceptional choice for environmentally conscious heating.

Why Choose Homefire Ecoal?

Ecoal represents a breakthrough in sustainable heating fuel. Made from crushed olive stones that are replenished annually without chopping down trees, this Ready to Burn compliant fuel (Certificate No: MSF0223) can be used anywhere in the UK, including smoke control areas.

Outstanding Environmental Performance

Homefire Ecoal delivers impressive environmental benefits:

• Up to 80% less smoke than house coal
• 50% less smoke than kiln-dried logs
• Up to 40% less carbon dioxide than house coal
• Made from renewable resources – crushed olive stones from olive oil production
• No trees cut down – uses agricultural waste product

Superior Heat and Performance

The unique hexagonal shape (75 x 40mm) of Ecoal briquettes promotes excellent airflow, resulting in attractive flames and exceptional heat output. Whilst individual bags cost more than traditional coal, you’ll actually use less fuel for the same warmth, making Ecoal more economical overall.

Ecoal’s high and sustained heat output means it can work out cheaper than burning house coal or kiln-dried firewood because although the upfront cost is higher, you burn less for equivalent heat.

Key Features

• Easy to Light – quick starting with minimal effort
• Long Lasting – extended burn time reduces refuelling frequency
• Attractive Flame – beautiful natural flames for ambiance
• Low Ash Content – less frequent cleaning required
• Consistent Heat – steady, reliable warmth throughout the burn

Complement Your Kiln-Dried Logs

Many customers find that combining Homefire Ecoal with kiln-dried logs provides the perfect heating solution. Use NW Logs’ premium kiln-dried firewood during the day for traditional wood fire ambiance and quick heat, then switch to Ecoal for sustained, efficient overnight heat. This combination offers the best of both worlds – the pleasure of wood fires with the economy and efficiency of smokeless coal.

Environmental Innovation

By using crushed olive stones – a byproduct of olive oil production that would otherwise go to waste – Homefire Ecoal turns agricultural waste into valuable fuel. The olive stones are a renewable resource, replenished annually without deforestation. This circular approach to fuel production represents genuine environmental innovation.
