Logs are sold everywhere now, from your local shop to online and sometimes even at your local greengrocers. So, why do so many people buy their logs from us yearly?
We thought we would write an article explaining why our logs are superior to what some other companies can offer. We will also explain how we dry our logs so they provide brilliant heat once put in the wood-burning stove.
Do you deliver right throughout the year?
We deliver throughout the winter and the summer.
Our logs are used to heat pizza ovens and hot tubs and used in large fire pits; we deliver throughout the summer months as well.
We use our wood-burning stove as the sole way to heat our house, can you therefore deliver large quantities of firewood?
Yes, we can. We have a Ford Transit tipper and can place many logs on our vans. So, for example, sometimes a customer will want the whole tipper load of logs.
How do you ensure that all of your logs are ready for burning?
Before we deliver our logs to our customers, we will take a batch out of the kiln and use a moisture meter to check the water content of the logs.
If the logs still contain too much water, we use the forklift truck to return the batch to the kiln. We then seal the doors and bake the logs for even longer. This process ensures that when the logs are finally delivered to our customers, they have been drying for long enough to be burnt immediately.
Some companies do not do this or may not kiln dry the logs long enough. What then happens is that the logs shouldn’t be burned, but if they are, they will produce a lot of smoke, and it can sometimes take a very long time to ignite the logs because they are damp. The customer is left trying to get fire going, often using many firelighters.
This is why so many customers buy their logs from us: they know when they are delivered from our business, and we offer quality logs every time. We also provide some of the best prices for our firewood.
Kiln dried for an extended period.
We put our logs in a giant kiln, which we have built ourselves. Our logs are baked in intense heat to dry them, reduce their moisture content, and ensure they are turned into a quality product ready for burning straightaway.
Quality timber
Some companies will obtain any wood and turn it into logs. However, here at Forestry Firewood, we are very selective in the timber we purchase, ensuring quality logs are ready to burn immediately after the kiln-drying process.
Massive quantities of logs are available
Many firewood suppliers regularly sell out of logs; the customer, therefore, cannot get a consistent supply of logs every month, which they may require.
Many homeowners have switched to using their wood-burning stoves as the primary and only way of heating their homes. With this in mind, if it’s a huge house, many logs need to be delivered, perhaps as regularly as once a month or more often.
