Solid Fuel Costs

Just bought in some Homefire smokeless coal for my multi fuel stove - wonder what defines the price of this 'stuff' - I paid 19 quid for a 50 kilo bag. Now I reckon that works out at 4.41p/kwhr. My mains gas is 3.14p/kwhr. Now OK oil is 60+p/litre or 5.56p/kwhr. Electricity is 9.6p/kwhr. There is a case for starting digging the black stuff (coal) up myself at this price!!! Ay and efficiencies need to be taken into account. I'm off to lob a tree down that's free!

I've moved off buying standard anthracite after having sung its praise - its messy, takes ages to light, takes ages to heat up, and leaves huge clunks of unburnt coal in the stove. Household Coal all the wau, particularly in the smokeless zones.0
