Introduction
There are many people who will have purchased firewood from other companies, only to find, that is extremely difficult to light and doesn’t burn that well.
This often means the wood is slightly damp, and when it is burning, it may produce excessive amounts of smoke. This is what is called, “wet wood”, and it shouldn’t be burnt. The reason that this type of wood, shouldn’t be burnt, is it can damage your chimney, it can damage your wood-burning stove and also your flu, plus it’s not good for the environment, as wet wood, can cause a large amount of smoke and soot.
So, what firewood should be burnt?
The answer is, you should purchase very high quality, kiln dried firewood, and that’s exactly what we sell., The moisture content of the wood checked, before it is sold to the customer.
So, for example, every batch that leaves our kiln within Newport, we check the moisture content of the wood before we deliver it to the customer, to make sure that its top quality, and that the moisture content is low enough for us to sell it, if the moisture content is too high, it simply goes back into the kiln, to bake a little bit longer. Then once the logs have been baked again, we will then check again the moisture content, once we have baked the logs for a few more hours.
Therefore, as you can see, no logs will leave our yard, until they have been baked for long enough. This ensures that all of our logs are ready to burn, high-quality and therefore when our customers receive our logs, they can use them straightaway, whether that’s to use them in a wood-burning stove, in a fire pit, or perhaps in a pizza oven?
Does the kiln drying process allow the wood to burn better?
Most definitely, kiln dried firewood burns much hotter, it produces less soot, it is therefore better for the environment, that’s because the wood burns more cleanly. If it wasn’t kiln dried, then it’s likely to cause a lot of smoke to come out of your chimney.
Plus kiln dried firewood is better for your wood-burning stove and for your chimney and flue.
How do you ensure, that every batch of firewood, his high quality?
We have built our own kiln within Newport, we have designed it, and we built it, so that it can dry a huge quantity of firewood in one go. Sometimes, the kiln is running 24-7, to keep up with demand from our customers within Wales.
We have invested in top-quality biomass boilers as well, to generate the heat, needed to dry the wood plus the biomass boilers also run off sawdust, and wood shavings that would have otherwise gone to waste. Every time our firewood has finished baking within the kiln, we then check every single batch of logs with a moisture meter, to make sure that the moisture content within the firewood is low enough for us to sell the logs to our customers.
Huge kilns
Because we have built huge kilns, this simply means that we can dry a huge quantity of logs at once.
This also means that we purchase huge number of logs at once, and therefore because we have the ability to dry so many logs in one go, this is how we always have a huge amount of firewood for sale at any one time. We actually have a huge barn that’s full of firewood ready for sale, so whether it’s the peak of summer let’s say in July, or at a freezing cold day in December, at our barn we normally have a huge amount of firewood for sale.
Our business is known for offering some of the best prices on firewood here in South Wales in matter of fact our logs are often much cheaper than some of our direct competitors, yet there is absolutely no compromise at all on quality even lower prices are much lower.
There is never no compromise on quality, because all of our logs are quality checked before they leave our yard.
Do some varieties of logs which require drying for longer?
Our company sells both softwood, as well as hardwood logs, hardwood logs will require drying for a longer period of time than softwood logs, however we always dry all of our logs the correct length of time, so whether we are selling softwood or hardwood logs, our logs are always are very high quality, and always kiln dried for the sufficient length of time so they are ready to burn straightaway, that’s as soon as we deliver them to our customers.
Are your logs ready to burn?
Yes, our firewood doesn’t need to be seasoned, or need to go into log store for say six months to dry, instead it can be burnt straightaway, as it’s already been dried through the kiln drying process. Our logs can therefore be put in your wood-burning stove straightaway.
Can you deliver every single month?
For some homeowners, because they have seen such a huge rise in their gas bills, the main way that they are now heating their home is through using our logs, therefore sometimes some of our customers require the logs to be delivered every single month, for large houses, for example houses in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, sometimes a homeowner would like the firewood to be delivered every single week.
We always keep a huge quantity of firewood in stock, so whether you require us to deliver every three months, or you wish for us to deliver every single month, we can deliver as often as you would like.
