Things to consider when choosing a firewood supplier

Introduction

You might think that all firewood is the same?

It’s certainly not; some firewood can burn with intense heat, and other firewood can produce a dull burn and cause problems with your homes chimney lining. That’s because wet wood, if burnt can actually produce a lot of soot, which starts to block the chimney.

The quality of the timber/logs therefore, often comes down to how well it is or how well it has been dried.
Then there’s the variety of the timber, you have softwood and you have hardwood, but even then, different varieties of wood which burn differently.

Firewood experts will tell you that some types of wood can produce intense heat and a crackle and pop as it burns in the fireplace.

Some other firewood, such as hardwood oak, is often requested simply because the customer doesn’t have to keep adding firewood to a wood-burning stove as much, because it burns for longer.

We would recommend purchasing kiln-dried and “ready to burn” firewood

There is often an ample number of companies that are willing to sell firewood cheaply, but that’s often because it just comes from trees that have been freshly cut. The problem with that is that wood is often not ready to burn because it may not be seasoned, and may not be kiln-dried, meaning its wet wood.

Freshly cut timber will contain and retain a huge amount of moisture, it may burn, but it will burn and produce a lot of soot and smoke, which can also cause massive amounts of damage to your wood burning stove or chimney.

So, for all intents and purposes, wet wood s a total false economy, it might be cheaper to purchase, but should most definitely be avoided because of the damage it causes to wood burning stoves, your chimney and the environment because of the excessive smoke it produces.

How long have you got to wait for delivery?

Customers like to have a real fire burning away, let’s say during the Christmas festivities. However, because December and November are such busy months for most firewood suppliers, you might struggle to find a firewood supplier that can deliver during that period.

This is why we recommend choosing a firewood company that can offer delivery times that suit you but that also keeps a huge amount of logs in stock. Thankfully here at Forestry Firewood Ltd, we have a massive amount of logs in stock, that’s because we are cutting, processing and drying logs all year around, not just during the winter.

Can you deliver to our house logs every month?

What is important is if you can hire a firewood delivery company that can deliver firewood on a regular basis. A lot of households now consume a lot of firewood every month, often because this is the primary way to heat to their homes.

However, as we all know, many households have very busy jobs, so they often haven’t time to call a firewood delivery company when their log store is running low. Therefore, companies like to set up routine deliveries of firewood, say, once a month.

Our company can offer this, so when you know that your firewood is starting to run low around a certain point every month, we could deliver some quality firewood to your house for you.
