Hi,

Just about to order some fuel for the stove and I'm confused...

The destructions mention only wood (stove tiny, not very practical) or MSF
(manufactured solid fuels).

It's an Aga Little Wenlock Classic 4-ish kW jobbie.

However the Aga brochure for that stove lists recommended fuels as:

Ancit, Phurnacite, Coalite, Sunbright, Anthracite Large Nuts, Welsh Dry
Steam Coal, Dry Seasoned Wood and a few other specific brands.


Follow up:

I would say that anthracite (large nut - golf ball to tennis ball sized
lumps) is a *very* suitable fuel for these little heaters.

For the record, so far, running semi flat out for 12 hours and slumbering
overnight, it's taking about 10kg coal a day (£3.30).

Electric heating load reduced from 4kW all day to typically 1kW fan heater
round the back.
