THE REMOVAL OF OUR FIREWOOD STACKING SERVICE

Due to the growth of our firewood business, We have made the difficult decision to remove the option of our stacking service.

As a business, Our number one priority is offering the best possible customer service.

When you order firewood from us, We want to be able to get that order to you as quickly as possible,

And by making this decision, it enables us to do so.

We understand that this will inconvenience some of you and we apologize for this.

But we feel this is the only way to be able to get all of the orders out in a timely manner.

We do hope that you continue to use us for your firewood going forward.

Thanks for reading and for your continued support and understanding.

Stove Mix

To adapt to the evolving timber landscape, we're now offering a 50/50 Hardwood and Softwood 'Stove Mix'—ideal for wood-burning stoves (not suitable for open fires). We will try to complement the quicker-burning softwood with some of the slower-burning hardwoods to make a mix that should give results the same to pure hardwood. In the years to come, we will also offer a pure softwood load.

Our new Stove Mix will also be sold in a single and double-load basis. This will be kiln dried for the time being, until we can build stock in the yard to naturally seasoned, this will take at least 12 months.

UK reserves of hardwood available to the open market are running low. There is still a good percentage of softwood available, but it also grows much faster and is generally much more resistant to diseases and pests. If we can just adapt to using it going forward, then as a country, we should manage to weather a storm that’s likely to take 15-20 years before hardwood reserves are back in good supply. There will still be hardwood available, but it will get more expensive as years move on.

Our firewood production process

Timber Acquisition: Sourced from competitive standing sales or auctions.
Harvesting: Utilising state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
Processing: Logs are cut and, if required, kiln-dried using renewable energy.
Storage: Seasoned logs are stored in our barns, ready for delivery.

This comprehensive process ensures high-quality firewood for our customers.

Understanding the shift

The UK faces significant challenges with tree health, notably the spread of Chalara ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), leading to a decline in hardwood availability. As a result:

Hardwood supplies are diminishing, increasing costs.
Softwood, when properly dried, burns efficiently and is more disease-resistant.
Our "Stove Mix" offers a sustainable heating solution during this transitional period.

As a business we buy our timber from competitive standing sales/auctions from the grower or agent. We then harvest it using state of the art equipment and technology. It’s brought back to our HQ where we then convert the round wood lengths into logs, some of the logs are put through our renewable energy kiln before being stored in our barns ready for delivery. This is a basic summary of all of the processes involved in obtaining and creating your logs.
