Homefire Smokeless (20kg)

Homefire is one of Britain’s best-known smokeless fuels, made for open fires and multi-fuel stoves. It’s manufactured in Britain by CPL and produced to the Ready to Burn standard, and the important thing for anyone in or around Reading is that it’s authorised for use in smoke control areas.

That authorisation is what makes it the sensible everyday choice locally. The whole Reading Borough area has been a smoke control area since December 2024, which means the retail sale of house coal and wet wood is off the table and you need an authorised fuel to burn legally. Homefire fits the bill, and as a smokeless fuel it burns far cleaner than house coal. The maker reports it burns up to 40% longer than coal with up to 80% less smoke, and it leaves very little ash, which keeps the grate tidy.

This is the 20kg bag, a good quantity for keeping a fire going through winter. A single bag is £19.00, and the per-bag price falls the more you order, as low as £18.25 a bag, so it’s worth stocking up if you get through a fair amount.
