How to use (quick start)
- Start with airflow: Smokeless fuels prefer air from underneath. Empty the ash pan and open primary air.
- Build a hot base: Use firelighters and dry kindling to create a strong bed of embers.
- Add fuel gradually: Place a single layer of ovoids first. Once glowing, add more to reach your desired heat.
- Control the burn: Open vents briefly after refuelling, then reduce to maintain steady heat.

Delivery & Packaging
What is "Kerbside Delivery"?
All palletised deliveries are strictly kerbside. This means the driver will leave the pallet at the nearest safe accessible point, such as your kerb or driveway entrance. While drivers will help where safe and practical, they cannot move pallets over uneven ground, gravel, grass, or steep slopes due to safety and insurance reasons.
How long will my delivery take?
Our standard Economy delivery typically takes up to 72 hours from the day your order is dispatched.
Do I need to be home to sign for the delivery?
It is recommended that you inspect the pallet upon arrival. However, you can arrange a "Leave Safe" delivery where a signature is not required. Please note that if you choose this option, Dawsons Fuels is not liable for the condition of the pallet or its final location once delivered.
I live locally (Cumbria/Lancashire/Yorkshire). Is the delivery different?
Yes. For customers in South Cumbria, North Lancashire, and North Yorkshire (e.g., CA10, CA11, CA16, CA17, DL8, DL11, LA1, LA2, LA5, LA6, LA7, LA8, LA9, LA10, LA11, LA12, LA21, LA22, LA23 postcodes), Dawsons Fuels uses their own vehicles and drivers. This often allows for a more flexible and personalized service.
How will my order be packaged?
To protect the products from the weather during transit, a pallet cover is placed over the top, and the entire pallet or crate is shrink-wrapped.
How will my order be delivered?
Palletised orders are delivered using a large 18-tonne vehicle (similar in size to a bin lorry) equipped with a tail lift. The driver will lower the pallet to the ground and use a manual pump truck to move it. For more information, click here.
Can the order be left outside?
Yes, the pallet arrives shrink-wrapped with a shower-proof cover, so it can withstand some weather. However, for the best performance, it is recommended to move the fuel to a dry storage area.
Can I choose a specific delivery time?
Standard deliveries are made between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. If you need a specific slot, you can select a Morning or Afternoon delivery for a small surcharge at checkout. Saturday deliveries are also available (booked by phone) for an additional fee (minimum £60).
