Have you ever thought of making your own Paper Briquettes, they are supposed to burn fine and are almost free as they are made from waste paper etc.

Here is a couple of links so you can see what they cost, the 2nd one is a eBay Link and it is cheaper there. :-

Unless they've changed they used to be made of compressed coal dust and were about the size of a house brick, hence the name.

Many moons ago you could get them from the Coal Mine in Brora alas a thing of the past It was closed down a long time ago

You get them from Forsinard (delivered) and they are very good/warm/cheap and clean. The only problem we ever found was that they retain their heat in the ash. Honestly 2 days after burning, the ash has the characteristics of fluid and its like piluvial flow from a volcano. Certainly worth using with sticks etc as it really keeps the heat/fire burning. The Guy who supplies it is an absolute gentleman from one of the Nordic countries.
