We are currently experiencing problems with our phone lines, due to a telegraph pole being demolished by a car about three weeks ago!! Despite BT telling me its fixed about 4 times a day, there is still no pole and therefopre no lines!! We have all of our phone lines diverted onto a mobile, but […]
The Logs Season is here again! Well, its actually been here all year as we have only had three single weeks in 2021 where we haven’t delivered logs! The new legislation for firewood will make life interesting as well! From February 2021, the legislation changed to say that you can only buy logs in volumes […]
Logs are “wet” when they are full of sap, the tree having been cut down. The kiln drying process is simply a speeded up and improved process of seasoning, whereby the sap/moisture is removed from the whole of the log. Seasoning can take about 2 years and involves leaving the logs outside in a dry […]
Is your firewood Grown Locally, Cut Locally, Dried Locally and Delivered Locally? Are you buying “Ready to Burn” logs? Kiln dried logs are ready to burn. You buy them today and can burn them straight away. Not all kiln dried logs are the same though, the vast majority of kiln dried firewood in the UK […]
OK, that might seem like a strange headline from a firewood supplier, but the question is valid! Firewood is so often described as an environmentally and sustainable fuel, but to my mind, this is something of a paradox. Anyone who has an open fire, or a wood burning stove must realise that the speed at […]
Well, I delivered a couple of bags to an existing customer today, and he showed me a log from a Homebase Net of “Seasoned Hardwood Logs” that he had bought last week to tide him over for a day or so. The description on the bag says it is wood of UK original and has […]
Pizza Ovens to Winter Woodburning Stoves Well we have been busier all summer than we have ever been, as the traditional quiet period for firewood didn’t quite slow down as much as previously. The popularity of chimineas and firepits continues, people sitting down around a heat source to wile away the summer evenings, and quite […]
For many, the firewood season is drawing to a close, as the evenings get warmer and the need for the heat from the woodburning stove diminishes. However, as we found out last year, there are still a wide range of uses for kiln dried firewood through the Spring/Summer/Autumn months as the firepits and chimineas keep us […]
After one of the wettest and mildest “winters” to date we are heading, according to the forecasters, for a real cold snap. The sort of snap that will have you heading for the logs store, the loading up of the fire or woodburner, and getting the thing blazing away so that you are all warm and toasty, […]
Bonfire night is just around the corner. I remember being involved in the building of huge bonfires as a kid (far too many years ago!) and then being awestruck by the vast plumes of smoke as they were lit, changing to that glorious flickering, dancing multi shades of orange flames, and the roar of the […]
