Old argument that doesn't hold water anymore, there are some high heat burning smokeless now.

Tell the coalman around here that.

And high heat coals in themselves burn out too quickly for back boilers and longevity of the fire.

But I'll use it if a suitable alternative can be supplied. I've no issue provided my home is heated.

They should ban burning of wood pellets in built up areas while they are at it, the place smells like kippers this time of year.

I'm not sure what the homes behind uchg were burning the other night, it wasn't coal and smelt vile, while being choked at the same time.

The ban will improve the market for wood too I'd wager.

Just burn bits of old tyres in with smokeless... That'll keep them pesky neighbours quite.

And yet the obvious this year. After the recent big strom every tom dick and harry is selling cutting and buring un-seasoned timber.

Look at the damge that stuff does! The smell tar and creso from the chimney ffs.

I live in the city and never had any serious issue with smoke i can just remember the smog in the early 90s. Most homes are oil or gas i find i hard to believe its an issue in the country towns or is it?

its not that big of a deal. people are starting to get too lazy to light the fire. all they want is to press a button and nothing more.

I was thinking the same. Not enough people bothered enough to actually shovel coal into the fire and light it to warrant a ban

As someone with a back boiler who has tried smokeless coal, it doesn't give out the heat. With Smokey coal I can put a fire on and slack it up to last all night. The smokeless had to be topped up regularly through the evening.

Eco Glo is your friend... Its mighty stuff.. Burns for days

I'll give you my smokey coal when you pry it from my cold, black hands.

Fizzy drinks ruined with non-sugar sweeteners, drink possibly being given a minimum price of 2 euro a can and now a ban on coal that actually provides decent heat. It's great. :rolleyes:
