Discussing All Things Firewood 🪵

Yes, all our logs are are seasoned for 12-18 months and have a moisture content below 20%. We are certified by the HETAS Woodsure ready to burn scheme, as all firewood suppliers who sell less than 2m3 should be under the new legislation.

What type of woods do we use?

We use a mixture of the hardwoods, such as Beech, Ash, Oak, Silver Birch and Sycamore.

​

Is the wood sourced from the UK?

Yes, all our wood is sourced from within the UK and mostly from Yorkshire.

Log suppliers in the UK are not permitted to sell logs based on weight due to the nature of wood and it’s inconsistencies.

Different hardwood/Softwood species vary greatly in weight naturally due to the tightness of the grain, the time taken for the tree to grow, moisture content along with many other variables.

For example - if you had the same size logs with the same moisture content - one ash log and one oak log - the oak log would weigh substantially more due to its tight grain than the ash log which has a looser grain.

So a cubic metre bag of ash logs would weigh a lot less than a cubic metre bag of oak logs HOWEVER the volume of logs would be the same ie both cubic metre bags would be full of logs despite having a different weight.

How we deliver our Loose Cubic Metre of Firewood logs.

Our cubic metre loads are delivered loose tipped out of a cubic metre bag from either one of our pick-up trucks or their attached trailer as seen below. We offer Free delivery over £50 up to 10 miles radius please see the delivery page for more information on delivery areas including delivery map and a list of places we deliver to.

We store & transport the logs in their special ventilated bags however we deliver the logs loose as seen in the picture below. One cubic metre fits on the pick-up truck and a further three cubic metres fit on the trailers.

We take a maximum of four cubic metres out at a time.

We use a pick up truck & trailer that both have hydraulics rams that tip. The bags are chained into the vehicle so when tipped up…

There are numerous methods to start a fire and they will work differently depending on your stove and the location/amount of air vents it has, if it is multI-fuel or a wood only burner.

​

Traditional:

The most traditional method to start a fire is to get one to two firelighters or some crinkled newspaper and place this in the Centre of the stove. Then get a good handful of kindling and make a tepee like structure. Get two smaller logs and prop these over the kindling tepee. Make sure all the air vents in the stove are open. Finally Light the newspaper/firelighters with a match.
