What Firewood logs to buy?
Buying Firewood Logs is relatively straight forward.
There are three main considerations - Time Vs Budget Vs Heat Output.
This is a simple guide to get you started. If you want more detailed information read our FAQ pages on the Logs2U website - a very helpful web resource with advice on subjects like lighting fires, burning wood, select wood fueld, understanding hardwood vs softwood, how to season firewood logs, using a log store etc..
If you wish to burn logs straight away choose Kiln Dried Logs. If you can afford to wait before burning your firewood logs, then choose Seasoned Logs or Unseasoned Logs - you'll have to leave them to season naturally in a log store - which can take months.
If you need to generate the hottest heat output (as is the case when using multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves) choose Kiln Dried Logs or season logs until their moisture content falls below 20%.
Whatever type of appliance you choose to use to burn wood fuels, aim to have the driest and the hottest fire possible to avoid creating condensates which can harm your appliance and flue/chimney.
Re-creating a camp fire in your garden
The number of UK people choosing to swap from other sources of heating and solid fuels to burning wood as a method of heating or for social uses like burning wood in a chimenea or a firepit has been significant in the last few years.
Wood burning emits a lovely aroma and if you use kiln dried logs you will get extra benefit of producing a consistent, high heat output too.
Sitting out in the garden in the summer or autumn months and enjoying the comfort and warmth of a log fire as the sun goes down is very much en vogue. Those with environmental sensitivities choose burning firewood logs over expensive gas fuelled patio heaters. There has been a rise in recent years of sales of Chimenea's, braziers and firepits as more people choose to spend more leisure time out of doors.
Creating a small "camp fire" in your garden and cooking a few sausages on sticks, or making toast or toasting marshmallows on an open fire is a very memorable social experience which brings people together in a way that can't be replicated by other forms of garden heating.
There's something so wonderful and mesmerising about watching a natural kindling flame dance in a fire, the faint aroma of wood smoke and watching wood embers glow - it's no wonder why we choose to sit around the fire in a circle and recount times past with family and friends.
