Parkray Room Heater

[Deleted User]

I used to get 50KG loose bags of "coke" delivered from a local coal merchant. Whatever it was it used to burn hot and really heat up all the radiators in the house and the hot water tank in no time.

Since then I've been trying different types of Room Heater fuels from CPL e.g. Stoveheat, Taybrite, etc. All never seem to get very hot leaving the radiators just warm and taking ages to get going. Also they seem to leave loads of ash where as the "coke" from the local coal merchant didn't leave half as much.

What do other people use on Parkray Room Heaters?

I been looking on Coals2U website and found some house coal crossed manufactured stuff called Wildfire. Just wondering if this is more like the "coke" I used to get and therefore give me better heat output?

Try Blaze. It kicks out lots of heat.

In my Parkray, I initially used Extracite, then switched to Phurnacite.
It burnt hot and long, with a high calorific value, and a lower amount of ash.

Stoveheat and Taybrite are meant to be hot and low ash according to the blurp but it's anything but.

i used to use surefire.... from fergusons... but they were £17.50

i now use Kanes, and they are £15 a bag.... an the heat is far better.

Also less ash!
