This book explains how smokeless and semi-smokeless fuels are made, why they can outperform raw coal, and how households can test and adopt them with real-world results.

Written to be accessible to the general reader, it also offers technical detail for those who want to understand the science behind coal treatment, blending, and the creation of stable, efficient fuels. It covers the history, benefits, and practical use of “Anti-waste” fuels, including the idea of reconstructing coal into more efficient sizes and the role of thorough washing and drying in producing high-utility products. The text also previews factory processes and describes how trial samples can help households compare performance in their own fires and stoves.

Two qualities of Anti-waste fuel are highlighted: No. 1 (Stove) from the best Welsh anthracite, and No. 2 (Domestic) for open fires and horticultural use, each designed for steady heat and reduced clinker.
Clear guidance on how to use patent fuels for steam raising and home heating, including air space, damper settings, and regular feeding to maintain efficient combustion.
Information about free trial samples, how they’re delivered, and what you can expect during a home trial.
A look at modern briquette and fire-lighting technology, including compact, easy-to-handle briquettes and their potential applications in daily life.

Ideal for readers curious about heating reform, home energy efficiency, and the evolving technology of coal treatment.
