? technically only smokeless fuel. practically, dry wood or coal, broken up pallets, old bank statements. garages and diy shops sell coal/ wood. be careful your fireplace is safe first though- you can get a chimney sweep to clean it- make sure you are not going to kill yourselves with toxic smoke..

DIY shop near Green and Blue in Lordship Lane sells coal and kindling.


Garden centres (eg Shannons in Forest Hill) and places like Homebase or B&Q also usually do.


ETA: Anyone with an open fire who needs a fender? I have one for sale (it's too long for my fireplace), haven't got round to advertising it yet :) It's thirties, copper on top, ?30. :) PM me for a pic :)

My grandmother (smallholder) once burnt collasping-pile-o-shite rabbit hutches belonging to her landlord. Who was not best pleased when she eventually found out.


I burn all kinds of wood in my (smokeless zone approved) stove. Toasty. Far more environment-friendly than coal or similar.


Avoid MDF and other composites (Ikea-ware) - they are full of glue and other noxious things: bad for you, bad for the environment.


But you must get your chimney swept before you burn anything.

    • Yes, been on several over the last 12 years. They are one of the safest planes ever built. The Dreamliner has been in service since 2011 and currently about 1,150 are in operation every day. Safe as houses.
    • One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me.  Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there.  Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police. 
    • My thoughts exactly when I found them I was thinking hope she is OK, have a feeling her bag was maybe snatched and then these items were just thrown.. I'm sure the police will pass it on to the passport office I just didn't have the time to get over there anytime soon. And agree they wasn't very helpful at all unfortunately I felt I was causing a problem with just handing them in !!
