try some BRIGHTHEAT smokesless coal on it. they look like BBQ coals but burn well and not too expsensive, I bought a 25kg bag for £8.80 to try them.
then when we were happy bought it lose and had it tripped into the cellar via teh coal shoot we had 5 bags (as buying it lose the coal comes in 50kg bags) paid £76 for the 5x 50kg bags

i didn't get it from these butthey give you an idea.
