It’s time to give wet wood the chop! Here’s why:
The Government’s Clean Air Strategy, which complements the 25 Year Environment Plan – A Green Future: Our 25 Year Plan to Improve the Environment, has called time on the burning of air-polluting wet wood.
We welcome this news as we’ve only ever sold wood that kiln dried and Ready To Burn certified. With a moisture content of 20% or less, our kiln dried logs are the perfect eco-friendly partner for your wood burning stove or open fire.
So despite what you may read in scaremongering news reports, YOU CAN still use your wood burning stove! Just make sure you only ever choose Ready To Burn certified kiln dried logs – and avoid burning scavenged or salvaged wood. You can also improve your stove’s efficiency by sweeping your chimney. HETAS recommends you sweep your chimney at least once a year by a registered professional to ensure safety and optimise performance.

Why you should avoid burning scavenged or salvaged wood
Although we totally understand anyone’s motivations to burn scavenged or salvaged wood, it is absolutely vital that log fire enthusiasts are fully aware of the risks of burning unseasoned or chemically treated wood (such as old fence panels and old pallet timber).We believe that whatever appliance you use to start a fire, (whether it be a wood burner, open fire, chiminea, pizza oven etc), those who light fires should do so safely, ethically and responsibly. That’s why we only sell fully seasoned wood (proper firewood) that is ready to burn. Virgin timber, chemical free, and cut specifically for the purpose of lighting fires.
After all, a log burner is only as good as the wood you fuel it with.
