Wood Fired & Gas Rayburn Cookers FUELS

Our wide range of Rayburn cookers offers a model suitable for use with most of the common fuel types.

The following list clarifies which fuels are suitable for each of the models.

200SFW & 212SFW Solid Fuel:

  • Manufactured smokeless fuels such as - Phurnacite Plus, Coalite Nuts, Maxibrite, Phurnacite, Sunbrite Doubles, Extracite, Blazebrite, Taybrite, Supacite.
  • Natural smokeless fuels such as - Anthracite Large Nuts, Welsh Dry steam Coal large nuts.
  • Seasoned wood may be burnt using the special flat grate supplied with the SFW models.
  • Petroleum coke must not be used.
  • Solid fuel suitability will vary from installation to installation, dependent on such local factors as chimney draught etc. Cookers connected to a chimney with a high flue draught will probably give the best performance burning the smaller sizes of fuel, such as Sunbrite, particularly for prolonged slumbering requirements.
  • We would recommend that a small sample bag of an intended fuel be first tried to determine suitability, before ordering a larger supply.
  • Your coal merchant should be able to offer further advice.

345W

  • Suitable for dry seasoned logs only.

  • Coal or wood with its longer flame will give a quicker reaction time from idling to heat the hotplate and ovens, whilst the smokeless fuels will burn longer and probably release more heat into the boiler.
  • Mixing wood and coal together is not recommended.
  • We would recommend that a small sample bag of an intended fuel be first tried to determine suitability, before ordering a larger supply, whilst your coal merchant should be able to offer further advice.
