Why should I buy kiln dried logs?
If firewood is not dried before being put on the fire the extra moisture has to be dried off by the fire, which wastes the heat energy. Using wet firewood creates many more harmful emissions into the environment which is harmful to human health. Kiln drying logs provides a consistent product which will always burn well, with less smoke and emissions.

How do you dry the firewood?
We first season the round timber in the open, it is then processed into logs which we are then entered into our kilns. All our kilns are heated by renewable wood fuel.
Do you sort the logs?
After processing, all of our logs are passed through a cleaning plant to help remove the loose bark and any woodchip from the dried timber. They are then sorted by hand into various sizes.
How are the logs delivered?
All deliveries are via a pallet courier, who provide a kerbside delivery. Access must be good as lorries can range between 12 and 18 tonnes. Deliveries usually take between 2 and 5 working days.
Can I store the logs outside?
You can store them outside but it should be under cover. They are supplied in enclosed sacks, however the sacks do not provide enough protection from the rain for storage. We would always suggest the logs are stored in a garage or dry shed as a minimum. The warmer and drier the environment the better the logs will keep and burn.
