Are your logs sustainably sourced?
Yes, all our timber comes from UK woodlands that are sustainably managed.

What type of wood are in your bulk bags?

Our Hardwood Bulk Bags contain a mixture of kiln dried hardwoods which typically include ash, sycamore, oak, birch and beech. Our Hardwood Log Nets contain dry silver birch.

Is your seasoned hardwood ready to burn?
Yes. All our timber is kiln dried down below 20% moisture and ready to burn. This is done in an environmentally sensitive way using waste heat from a green energy plant which uses farm waste to make electricity.

Is it not better to buy naturally seasoned wood?
Not necessarily. If firewood is below 20% moisture then it doesn’t make too much difference if it has been naturally seasoned or dried. The issue is sometimes consistency and to conform with the new Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) (England) Regulations 2020, all fire wood must be under 20% moisture and ready to burn. This is why supplying kiln dried wood helps us guarantee this.

What is wood wool and what are the benefits?
Wood Wool is a natural based packaging material made from shredded timber which is dipped in a natural wax making them ideal for lighting fires as they are odourless.

What size are your logs?
Our standard size for logs is 8 inches. Those in the hardwood log nets are 10 inches long. If you require a different length please contact us.

How should I store them?
Our logs will keep in the delivery bag or stored in a log store ( contact us if you require a log store) they just need covering from rain.

What kind of fires are your logs suitable for?

General FAQs

What is the best way to light a fire?
STEP 1: AIR AND LOGS OF WOOD
Ensure that all air vents in the fireplace are open. Put the logs on the bottom of the fireplace. It is important that the wood is dry. The logs may be as thick as a fist or thicker.

STEP 2: KINDLING WOOD
Add a layer of small logs of about 4 cm, and then one or two layers of kindling. Remember that air is important – approx. 1 cm between the pieces of wood is the perfect spacing.

STEP 3: WOOD WOOL
Put a woodwool firelighter on top of the layer of kindling wood.

STEP 4: LIGHT IT!
The last step is easy, just light it and close the door! Some chimneys take more time to create good draught than others. If the draught is insufficient, it might be an idea to open the door to the wood stove slightly until it is properly burning. If the house or cabin is “too” insulated, you might want to open a window. The same applies if the kitchen ventilator is on.
