Seasoned Hardwood Firewood, Ready to Burn

We supply seasoned hardwood logs in bulk bags from our yards in Dunstable and Brigg. Hardwood, properly seasoned, sold by the bag - no kindling packs, no supermarket nets, just a proper load of firewood that will actually keep a room warm.

What does seasoned mean?

Freshly felled timber can be close to half water by weight. Burn it and most of the energy goes into boiling that water off rather than heating the room. It hisses, it smokes, it blackens the glass, and it lines your flue with tar.

Seasoned logs have been stacked and air dried so the moisture has come out of them. They light quickly, burn hot, produce far less smoke and leave much less deposit in the chimney. That is the difference between firewood that works and firewood that frustrates you all winter.

Why hardwood rather than softwood?

Hardwood is denser. A denser log holds more energy, so it burns longer and hotter and needs feeding less often. Softwood lights easily and is useful for getting a fire going, but it burns through fast and spits more because of the resin in it.

For an evening in front of a wood burner or an open fire, hardwood is what you want. A single bag goes a long way compared with the same volume of softwood.

What can you burn it on?

  • Wood burning stoves - hardwood is the standard choice, giving a long steady burn
  • Open fires - burns cleanly with far less spitting than softwood
  • Multi-fuel stoves - use on its own or alongside smokeless fuel
  • Fire pits, chimineas and pizza ovens - hardwood gives steady heat rather than a quick flare

How to store your logs

Get this right and your logs stay in the condition they arrived in.

  • Keep them off the ground. Pallets, bearers or a log store base - anything that stops damp wicking up from below.
  • Cover the top, leave the sides open. Rain off, air through. A log store or a sheet over the top with open ends is ideal.
  • Do not seal them in. Logs wrapped tight in plastic or shut in an unventilated shed will hold moisture and eventually go mouldy.
  • Bring the next day's logs indoors. A night beside the fire takes the chill and surface damp off and they light noticeably better.

How much firewood will I need?

It depends on how often you light the fire, how big the room is and how efficient your stove is. As a rough guide, someone lighting a stove most evenings through the colder months gets through considerably more than someone lighting a fire at weekends. If you are not sure, start with a bag, see how long it lasts you, and order accordingly. Most customers work out their own rhythm after the first winter.
