Low sulphur coal

Just started using low sulphur coal as in eggs in the stove but they don't seem to burn like before is anyone else finding this or is it just me

Same here.
The smokeless fuel type eggs we use in our multifuel stove (Blaze from B&M) tend to have very little flame compared to traditional coal and spend most of their time glowing. I mix them with well seasoned timber just for a bit of variety. 

A benefit of the smokeless fuel is that there seems to be very little residual clinker like you often get with coal. Pretty much all the smokeless fuel burns away to ash in our stove.

Thanks for your reply, no flame is just what I'm getting and lots less heat. I have also started mixing with wood but that seems to be defeating the idea of burning smokeless fuel

Blaze from B&M will give you good heat. I find it much better than the Eco Flame they sell which is £1 dearer

As Swipe mentions, if you haven't tried Blaze, then do try a bag or two. I find it does burn nice and hot and lasts a long time. I only throw the logs in to get a wood burning smell and for the flames. Plus I have a plentiful supply of seasoned Ash and Larch timber to get through after some major tree felling last spring.

I'll get some tomorrow and try it then on Thursday my coal man is bringing something to mix with the eggs to try and get a better burn

You may need to dry out the coals for a few days before burning , often the bags sweat or worse case coals can be very wet if the bags have been stored outside in the rain.
