Have you ever considered co-firing as an option for the open fires or your wood burning stoves? Though not a very common and widely applied practice, this concept comes with numerous benefits.
What is co-firing?
You might be wondering: what exactly is co-firing? In simple terms, co-firing is where you burn a mixture of more than one fuel type at the same time – for example, using coal and firewood in the same fire.
What are the benefits of co-firing?
There are a number of benefits of mixing coal and firewood. For one thing, coal burns much hotter than logs, thus increasing the amount of heat generated. Coal also burns for a longer period of time. So when you burn coal and logs together, you do not need to continuously keep on adding logs to the fire. If you’re busy entertaining at home, tending to the fire will be the least of your worries.
Besides, with the mixture of coal and logs on an open fire you can still enjoy the aroma of burning logs. By adding coal to the fire, while you can still enjoy the benefits of longevity and a hotter fire, you can still retain the look of a log fire. Adding a few lumps of coal to the logs in the open fire or in the wood burning stoves will also control the moisture content in the fire logs so that your appliances remain clean. There is also a lesser built up of tar on the walls of the chimney. So basically, adding coal provides you with benefits that are not only economical but at the same time practical as well.
