I throw some smokeless fuel or long-burn BBQ briquettes in my woodstove to keep it going longer at night.

Okay I'll have to Google those. I've tried burning Kingsford charcoal briquettes, they burn hot and very reliable but produce a huge amount of ash due to the binder. I've also tried wood pellets, anthracite and soft coal. I found the wood pellets easy to smother the fire the anthracite tough to keep burning due to not a strong draft in the very short stove pipe and the soft coal burned well but also produced a fair bit of ash... The hard wood logs I am burning now do not burn as long as the coal could but they burn far more reliably with almost no remnants after the fire is out, also I can pack the stove to the top with logs and turn down the draft to get a 2+- hour burn... also the logs are free and I can cut and split what I need.

@@johnnyT428 my other thought with the a "long burn" is it's actually a bit more dangerous in regards to Corbin monoxide poisoning. I've also got a co detector aboard and sleep with the hatch cracked. I've done overnights in 20 degree weather in early January. No doubt it's screaming cold in the cabin in the morning, but I have yet to be cold in the berth... It's just when I get out of bed that it's a bit chilly.
