How We Prepare Our Logs For You:
The process our timber goes through to make it ready for you to burn.

We have been delivering firewood for over 30 years. From this experience we have an in-depth knowledge of the care and conditions required for reliably supplying excellent logs for your fire, wood burning stove, pizza oven and chiminea.

Below you can see the process that our timber goes through in order to make it ready for you to burn.

From Trunk to Truck

The heat used to dry the logs is run on slithers that are produced as a by–product of the round wood processing operation. Knotted wood and wood too big to process are also fed into the burner.

Once the wood has been dried down from approx 40% moisture to an average moisture level of 20% it is moved into storage barns.
Our logs are dried in the wood kiln by a combination of hot dry air produced by the burner and two powerful air fans, which blow air through the wood for approximately 7 weeks. Once the moisture has dropped from approx 40% to 15% the wood is moved into storage barns.
Before the wood is loaded onto the trucks (either loose or in a bag) it is given an additional clean by our log grill.

All our hardwood is selected from the best species; beech, oak, hornbeam, ash, sycamore and silver birch being the main ones. Each species has different burning characteristics. For example, as folklore says,

"Beech-wood fires burn bright and clear, birch will burn too fast, blaze too bright and will not last, ashwood is fit for a Queen with a golden crown and oak logs , if dry and old , will keep away the winter’s cold"

By harnessing and blending these different burning characteristics provided by the natural world you will, we hope, find your logs will burn not too quick nor too slow but in such a way that there is plenty of heat produced and will give you a great feeling of well being night after night.
