How should I store firewood?
We do recommend that you store your logs in a purpose built log store or storage area either inside or outside.
Whether it be one we have made for you, one you have made yourself or purchased elsewhere.
The ideal log store has three ventilated sides, an open front, a raised floor and a weatherproof roof with air gaps in the floor and sides to aid ventilation and protect the logs from direct rain.
Avoid closely covering logs with a sheet/tarpaulin type material as this would stop the air ventilation needed.
If you do not have a log store an ideal location is where they will be sheltered from the weather and where there is good ventilation. We would advice that for this reason not to store logs in a damp locations like a cellar.
If storing your firewood inside your home unless your stove is designed with inbuilt log storage then please do not place logs next to or touching your fires as they can ignite with heat transference and start a fire at the wrong side if your stove !
Upon delivery we would be more than happy to have a quick look and make a suggestion of the best place if you are unsure.
Here at Baxter Logs HQ we store our Firewood in the garage, bringing the logs in the how as and when needed filling the two logs baskets we have at either side of our fireplace.
