Peat is now becoming the modern fuel to burn in our fires, although it has been in the ground for thousands of years, once it is dried and bagged it becomes a good type of fuel to burn with coal or wood. Coal burns slowly and for a long period – ideal for keeping your fire alive all night so the house is warm the following morning.
You will notice that peat is very aromatic when alight, and in fact many distilleries in Scotland use it to flavour malt barley. It has been calculated that a tonne of peat is equivalent in energy output to well over three cubic meters of dried firewood, so burnt alone or with our kiln dried logs, it is a very economical way to heat your home! Many people report that once they have found a reliable source of peat for sale, they switch to burning peat as their main fuel source.
Peat fuel will not burn with a bright long flame like heat logs or kiln dried logs. Instead, it will have a small ‘blue-orange’ flame, and glow – much like coal does. The heat that comes from peat is immense, so often people will burn just one or two peat briquettes at a time. If you require a bright flame in combination with the steady heat output the peat provides, a common method is to combine kiln dried logs with peat, or hotmax with peat
