Ecobrite or Maxibrite...where to buy?

Have a multifuel stove. Been recommended Ecobrite bu the BORU manufacturers. Has anyone used this smokeless fuel before., or do you use something else?

When I initially contacted BORU they stated on their so called information leaflet:

Boru Stoves Fuel Advice
 All Boru Stoves have a multi-fuel grate, which means that fuels such as; seasoned wood and peat (both with a moisture content of less than 20%), peat briquettes, and coal can be used in moderation.
DO NOT use fuels with high calorific value, petroleum coke content or/and petroleum based products.

 Boru Stoves advice is that all fuels are purchased from reputable fuel merchants and that only branded pre-blended products are used in all Boru Stoves products.
 We believe that you have wisely invested in heating your home by buying a Boru Stove. To protect this investment please take time to ensure that you follow these fuel guidelines and that you use suitable products in your stove.
Petroleum Coke
Petroleum coke has a very high carbon content and is virtually ash free. Ash plays an important role when fuel burns as it helps to modify the combustion process e.g. the fire bed temperature and also forms an insulating layer at the base of the fire to protect the grate from direct contact with the burning fuel.
With such low ash content in petroleum coke the fuel tends to burn at a higher temperature than mineral fuels. The components of solid fuel burning appliances are not generally designed to cope with the intensity of the heat that is generated by the burning of petroleum coke based fuels. High petroleum coke products are not as strong as approved fuels and are very prone to splitting causing hot embers to be ejected from the stove or causing a second burn in the ash pan, this could lead to an unsafe condition. High petroleum coke products can produce excessive soot deposits because of incomplete combustion due to high moisture, leading to an increased risk of a fire in the chimney or liners.
Please do not hesitate to contact any member of our team if you have any further queries.
