The What
Smokeless Fuels are a product range we offer at Fuels4Less. Smokeless Fuel is a fuel that doesn't give off thick smoke when burned.
We sell Smokeless Coal in 25Kg bags. This way you can dry store them easily, and order more accurately. Instead of hauling a jumbo bag around, you can order the amount you need more accurately.
The big deal is that, in Smoke Control Areas, you can receive a fine up to £1000 for using a product that is not approved. Alongside this, there is a push towards changing our house fuel suppliers to a greener alternative, which is where Smokeless Fuels come in.
The How
Easy! Although slightly more expensive, short-term, it will cost you LESS long-term. Smokeless Fuels boast a hot, long, attractive flame. The fuel can last up to 40% longer, and produces up to 80% LESS CO2 than traditional coal.
We deliver using a palletised delivery network. They use a Manual Pallet trucka and a tail lift, NOT a Crane or Hi-Ab. We have a more detailed information page, which explains who we can and cannot deliver to.
Smokeless Fuels are becoming increasingly popular, however, not everyone knows about them yet. Our aim to make more people aware of the greener, better solution.
Ordering from Fuels4Less is really simple. We have an easy to follow, step-by-step, order process that will take you no longer than 5 minutes to complete. Our Smokeless Fuels catalogue can be found, here.
Alternatively, our Customer Service Team can help you through the process and take the order by phone.
The Who
We sell the best-selling Smokeless Fuels in the market. There are others in the market, however, we are very competitive and often beat our competition in both service and price.
We don't foresee any complaints coming in about our products as we stand behind the impressive performance and price, however, if a complaint needs to be made, our Customer Service Team will be the first port-of-call, and will do their best to help you with the problem at hand.
The Why
We view Smokeless Fuels as the best fuels around, for several reasons.
- They're greener
- They can last up to 40% longer
- They boast an attractive flame
- They don't billow horrible thick smoke
- They burn at a high temperature
Traditional house coal has it's place, however, Smokeless Fuels are the superior fuel in many ways, especially if you are environmentally conscious. We have a write-up, explaining what Smokeless Fuels are, and why you should be using them.
General Fuels4Less Questions
Delivery companies do not currently offer a service that collects the pallet, therefore, we ask that you can use / recycle or dispose of the pallet. One way of using the wooden pallet, is to use it as kindling.

The best way to store fuels is away from your house in a dry place, that will shelter the product from the elements. For logs, we do have a log store available which will help in keeping your logs organised, ready to use. Whilst the log store will keep the goods organised, we still advise storing this in a dry place.
We deliver using an 18 tonne curtain sided vehicle, using a manual pallet truck and tail lift (not a hi-ab / crane). We need a flat and hardstanding surface to offloading onto. If there is a gradient of any sort, we may struggle to offload the goods. Please view our How We Deliver page to see more information on what we can and cannot deliver to.
We encourage the change to smokeless fuels, as it's far cleaner in comparison to traditional house coal. We have created a catalogue with Smokeless Fuels, which can be used in Smoke Control Areas. Any products outside of this catalogue, are not to be used in Smoke Control Areas.
