Try Excel – Our Hottest Burning Smokeless Coal
Excel has earned its reputation as one of the hottest-burning smokeless fuels on the market. With carefully engineered briquettes, it delivers strong performance and an intense flame without excessive ash or smoke.
Because it burns cleanly and efficiently, you're less likely to have residue build-up, and you’ll get maximum heat from each load. It’s a robust choice for those who want power plus cleanliness.
In summary: Excel brings serious heat — while keeping things tidy.
Common Questions
Is Excel legal in smoke-control zones?
Yes — it’s fully authorised for use in smoke-control (DEFRA) areas and suitable for compatible appliances.
How does Excel compare to Supertherm or Newheat?
Excel trades slightly lower burn duration for higher heat output relative to some other briquettes. If you prefer a strong, warmer burn, Excel is a solid choice. If you want longer burn times or lower ash, you might compare with Newheat or Supertherm.
Can I mix Excel with logs?
Yes — using kiln-dried logs alongside Excel can give a beautiful flame while making the burn easier to manage and more efficient.
How long will a 25kg bag last me?Excel provides a strong burn — on most stoves, you can expect 6–8 hoursper lighting. Because of its high heat, you’ll typically use just 1–2 kg of briquettes per fire (depending on stove size).
So, in practical terms, a 25 kg bag can deliver roughly 12 to 25 fires. The exact number varies depending on your stove’s efficiency, how you regulate airflow, and whether you're using an open fire (which tends to burn faster) or a controlled, closed appliance.
Tip: Once your fire is established, gently reducing airflow can help you prolong the burn without losing heat.
