can I use coal on my Arundel mk3 wood burner? if so do I use just logs, just coal or coal and logs together?
You can use logs and certain types of coal in your Portway Arundel MK3 stove, but there are restrictions:
- Logs: You may burn untreated, dry wood logs with a moisture content of no greater than 20%. Logs should not exceed 125mm in diameter and 250mm in length. Wet timber must not be used.
- Coal: Only smokeless coal such as anthracite (small size) or briquettes is suitable. Housecoal, bituminous coal, and petroleum coke are *not* suitable and must not be used.
It is not explicitly stated whether you can use logs and smokeless coal together, so it is advised to use them separately to avoid potential issues.
