Introduction

Every single autumn and winter there is a variety of firewood that is always in strong demand, and that is ash firewood.

The benefits of burning ash firewood are clear: it burns brilliantly and produces absolute superb heat, whether it is burnt in open fire or enclosed within a wood-burning stove.

Our commitment to quality and reliability sets our firewood apart for some of our direct competitors, making it the preferred choice for many of our customers in Wales. We ensure that every batch of firewood is perfectly dried before it leaves our yard, guaranteeing our customers a consistent and high-quality burn.

As with all varieties of firewood, how well the logs burn depends entirely on how well seasoned the firewood is and whether it has been sufficiently dried to what is called the “kiln drying process”. This process, which involves a controlled and gradual reduction of moisture within the logs, ensures that the firewood retains its quality and burns efficiently for the customer.

For those unfamiliar with the term, “kiln-dried logs”, it means the wood has been placed in a large oven-like structure. This process, involving heat and ventilation, which significantly reduces the logs’ moisture content, making the logs ideal for burning.

However, even though firewood can be kiln-dried, how well it has been dried varies depending on the company you purchase from.
You can be rest assured when you choose us; we take pride and care in the production of our firewood.
Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring it’s sufficiently dried for long enough before it leaves the yard.

There are occasions when the firewood comes out of the kiln and sometimes needs to be put back into the kiln to reduce the moisture content futher. This is a part of our quality control process, ensuring the firewood is perfectly dried before it leaves our yard.

Therefore, you can be assured that all of the ash firewood you purchase from us has been kiln-dried for long enough, which means they can be burnt straightaway.

 

Is, therefore, your wood ready to burn?

 

Yes, it most certainly is. Some firewood requires further seasoning when purchased from another company.
However, purchasing “wet wood” this then takes up a lot of space in a garden or a garage, so many homeowners understandably do not want to purchase wet wood that needs seasoning.

Our firewood is entirely different and is ready to burn.
Therefore, as soon as it is delivered and tipped off the back of our van, it can be burnt straightaway.
This eliminates the need for further seasoning, saving you space and time.

 

Why is ash such a popular firewood?

 

You often find that when people buy firewood, they burn logs in their homes for a long period of time. For example, a homeowner might have burnt firewood in their home for let’s say, the last ten years.

A lot of customers will know that different types of firewood can burn differently depending on the wood type. Some firewood can burn very slowly and produce a rather dull brown.

Other types of softwood can burn bright and extremely hot, but they burn very fast.

Then you have other firewood varieties, which can burn for a long period of time, produce very hot heat, and are, therefore be absolutely perfect for heating a home.

Therefore, many people insist on having ash firewood delivered to their homes because it offers the best of both worlds in terms of burning for a long period of time, burning brightly, and producing a very intense heat.
This makes it an ideal choice for heating your home efficiently and effectively.

 

Can you also offer to supply kindling to help get the fire started?

 

Yes, we have recently started selling kindling as well. Therefore when you place an order with us to get your ash firewood delivered to your house, you can also get some kindling delivered as well.

 

Would you like to place an order with us to get ash firewood delivered?

Welcome to forestry firewood

Here at Forestry Firewood, we specialise in retailing high-quality kiln-dried firewood and also kindling.

We have extensive experience in drying and selling firewood and are now an established business here in South Wales.
We go the extra mile to offer top levels of customer service to everyone of our customers. We shall explain later in this article, how all of the firewood that we sell is sustainably sourced from very carefully managed forests.

 

Our firewood is ready to burn

 

We understand what customers want is a supply of consistently high-quality firewood. While some companies might resell firewood in a hit-and-miss in terms of it being dry, we are entirely different firewood company in that we mae sure that all the firewood we sell is “ready to burn”.
Therefore, we always ensure that our firewood is rigorously tested before it is delivered to the customer.
We use quality and accurate moisture meters to ensure the customer receives firewood that is ready to burn.

 

Large investment in log cutting equipment

 

We have heavily invested in firewood processors and quality kilns, which means that we can ensure the quality of our logs are consistently high. From the cutting to the drying to the delivery to the customer, we ensure that we deliver a high-quality product.

 

Carefully managed forests

 

Many customers will understandably want the reassurance and guarantee that our timber comes from carefully managed forests. Our firewood is sustainably sourced, and we buy from the Forestry Commission.

 

Well stocked

 

People who have used a wood-burning stove for an extended period will often know precisely the variety of timber they wish to purchase. For example, here in the United Kingdom, two varieties of firewood are very popular with customers: that’s our oak logs and ash firewood.
We work hard throughout the entire year to keep our warehouse well stocked, full of this quality firewood. So when the weather starts to get rather cold and a bit nippy, you can rest assured that we hold ample firewood at our warehouse.

Therefore, we can deliver to you at a time that’s convenient, perhaps you would like a whole vanload of ash, or maybe you would prefer an entire load of oak logs delivered? We are here to help.

 

Why not arrange for the delivery to be made today?

 

Many customers are making the switch from occasionally using their log-burning stove say on the odd day or two a week during the winter to now using there log burners on a daily basis. Therefore, buying firewood in small plastic bags at the supermarket is often inconvenient, as the customer need to keep replenishing their firewood by visiting the local shop.

This is when many homeowners are making the switch to our business simply because we can deliver a huge amount of firewood to your doorstep all in one go. You might want, for example, a whole vanload delivered to your property. We can do this, and we can then replenish the logs as often as you need them.

 

Why not call us today?

Perhaps you wish to purchase a particular type of firewood, let’s say cherry wood, and you want to see if we have it in stock at the moment?

Then why not call us today?

Our very friendly and highly knowledgeable staff will be able to tell you about the variety of timber that we have in stock at the moment and when the earliest dates that we can come out and be delivered directly to you.

 

 

 

 

Introduction

You might think, well, wood is wood-it can all be burnt, right?

Well, to an extent, because some firewood burns better than others. Some firewood produces intense heat for an extended period; others can create a dull burn or burn so fast it can feel like you’re feeding a locomotive engine with fuel, the amount of time you have to add wood to your wood burner.

 

So, this begs the question, which firewood is best for burning?

Well, different firewood companies will answer the question differently. However, the best firewood for burning is ash and oak logs. We shall explain why in greater detail within this article.

 

Ash

Ashwood produces an unbelievable amount of heat. When the wood burns, the ambers glow so hot that they can look like hot coal. Therefore, this type of wood is ideally suited for burning in wood-burning stoves and open fires.

However, as with all wood you burn at home, it should be seasoned or put in a kiln. The moisture content needs to be low so the wood can be burnt and produce the maximum heat.

 

Beech

Another prevalent type of firewood is beech, which produces fantastic heat and burns for an extended period. This firewood is excellent for open fires and wood-burning stoves.

 

Oak

Now, oak is very dense, heavy, and excellent firewood. Homeowners often request oak firewood for burning simply because it’s very thick. Therefore, it burns for such a long period that the customer doesn’t need to keep adding wood as often when compared to, say, a type of softwood log.

 

Ready to burn

What is essential, regardless of which type of firewood you buy, is that it is “ready to burn”— the moisture content needs to be significantly reduced through seasoning or kiln-drying. Here at Forestry Firewood Ltd, we prefer to kiln-dry the wood; we then use a moisture meter on every batch of firewood we produce to ensure that every batch of logs we make is ready to burn.

 

Large quantities available at affordable prices

Regardless of which type of firewood you buy, you will want ample logs to burn. Here, we offer Forestry

Firewood large quantities of firewood at very affordable and competitive prices.

Plus, our vans are busy delivering firewood throughout the year. Businesses such as wood-fired pizza companies need a regular supply of firewood. Plus, many homeowners have firepits even during the summer. Therefore, if you are looking for a local firewood supplier that can deliver throughout the year, contact us, as we have many logs for sale.

 

We own our kiln

Some firewood companies are simply resellers of firewood produced by another business. Therefore, they may be unable to dry their own wood in a kiln, making it much harder to ensure that the customer gets a consistent supply of ready-to-burn logs.

Our company is very different in this regard. We have built our large kiln on our farm. The kiln is made to dry various logs of multiple lengths. This ensures that all logs delivered to our customers are ready to burn.

 

Why not call today?

If you would like to arrange for us to deliver our very high-quality logs to you, then why not call us?

Introduction

 

So, firewood is all the same, right?

Well, not exactly; that’s because there are hundreds of varieties of different timbers. Some are perfect for burning in a wood-burning stove, and some are not.

Then you have to ask the question, is the wood dry? Has it been kiln-dried and or seasoned?

If so, what’s the moisture content?

Is your wood dry and ready to burn?

So, many people are shopping on Google to find “dry firewood” suppliers. This is because they do not know the terminology to describe sound quality, ready-to-burn firewood. The firewood can either be seasoned or placed in a dry, open barn for a long period of time.

However, the method of drying the wood that most customers want is to purchase “kiln-dried” firewood. That’s because the wood has had its moisture greatly reduced by being blasted with hot air in what is essentially a giant oven.

You may own an air fryer at home. This works by a heating element blasting hot air around a small space. This is the same concept we use with our giant kiln. The hot air blasts the wood, the steam escapes, and what’s left at the end is timber that’s ready to burn.
But I see some cheap prices for wet wood, why should we buy this?

Well, this is where a lot of customers think, “I will season the wood myself.” However, you have to think: Do you have the space and amount of time to wait for the wood to season correctly?

For some varieties of wood, the timber has to be stored for over 12 months in a dry place. Now, most homeowners don’t want a chunk of their garden taken up by logs drying.

So, in our view, wet wood is a false economy. Sure, it might be cheaper, but then you have to season it and store it for often a long period of time before it’s ready to burn. Then, you must use your moisture meter to ensure it’s ready to burn.

 

We only sell ready-to-burn logs

 

So, when people are looking for “dry logs” on Google, what they really want are logs that are “ready to burn.” Our logs are just that; they can be put straight in your wood-burning stove as soon as they are delivered to you.

So, you do not have to wait to use the logs; you can burn them immediately.

 

How do we arrange for delivery?

Lead times, in terms of how quickly we can get the logs to you, very much depend on the time of the year. In the run-up to December, which is often our coldest period here in the United Kingdom, as you can imagine, this is normally our busiest period.

Yet we also deliver during the summer, so why not call us? Then, we will be able to book you into our diary so that we can get our logs despatched to you as soon as we can.

 

Call us today:

We can tell you what logs we have in stock, plus how soon we can get to you. Every year, we see tremendous repeat business because our logs are of such high quality. So, if you are looking for a local firewood supplier, look no further than Forestry Firewood Ltd:

 

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.

 

Would you like to purchase quality firewood from us

There are a lot of homeowners and businesses all across Wales who are now purchasing high-quality firewood from us. If you would like our firewood delivered, don’t hesitate to contact us today to arrange a suitable delivery time for one of our delivery drivers to deliver to your house or place of business.

 

Introduction

More and more people purchase logs and firewood locally from suppliers like Forestry Firewood Ltd.

Whether that’s because of the rise in natural gas prices or just because you, as the homeowner, like the cosy atmosphere that a real fire can create, the demand for high-quality firewood has soared.

 

Why do so many residents/businesses in Wales purchase their logs from you?

We own our kiln and have invested in modern, high-quality log-cutting machinery. What this means for the customer is that we can control the quality of our firewood in-house for our customers.

So, for example, once the logs have been delivered, we are able to cut them into various lengths. Plus, we have our own kiln, so we can ensure that we remove the moisture to the level where our logs are ready to burn.

 

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Newport, but we supply our firewood to the surrounding areas. As the company has expanded, so have the areas to which we now deliver our logs. We now deliver over a very large area, as wide as Cardiff, through to the Pontypool area as well.

 

How do you ensure that you’re not selling wet wood?

We are different from some other firewood suppliers because we own our own kiln. This means that rather than being reliant on another business to process and dry the wood for us, we do all of this in-house. This means that no batch of firewood leaves the yard unless the moisture has been greatly removed from the logs. If it hasn’t, we simply put that batch of firewood back inside the kiln and bake it for even longer.

 

We need a large quantity of firewood supplied. Are you able to provide this?

Most certainly, this is why most homeowners and businesses in South Wales buy from us: We always have a huge amount of firewood in stock. On our Transit tipper, we can deliver a large amount of firewood to you all in one go. So, whether you run a restaurant or pub and need firewood delivered, or you own a large farmhouse and require a huge quantity of firewood delivered to see you through the winter, we can help.

 

Do you sell hardwood logs?

We most certainly do. We often stock many different types of logs. The best way to see what we currently have in stock is to call us. We often have ash and oak logs ready to be dispatched to customers.

 

Do you sell kindling to help us to get the fire started?

Yes, we can also supply kindling at a low cost. This is a great way to help get your fire started and saves our customers time, as they don’t have to do kindling themselves.

 

How do we arrange for delivery?

To arrange delivery, just call us today. One of our friendly staff will be on hand to help you. We can then arrange a suitable date for us to make the delivery.

 

Why not call us today?

Call us today whether you would like just a one-off order of our firewood or if we can make repeat deliveries, say once a month during the winter. We can tell you about our prices and how soon we can deliver to you.

Introduction

At the time of writing, August is typically a hot month in the United Kingdom. With that said, why would homeowners here want to stock up on firewood?

Well, we will now explain five main reasons why so many homeowners across Wales are stocking up on firewood during the hot summer months and in winter.

Reason number 1)

A lot of companies run out during the winter months

On the Christmas run-up, many homeowners especially want firewood for two reasons. The most obvious is to heat their homes, yet many homeowners often open up a fireplace or use their wood burners much more during Christmas due to the cost atmosphere it creates.
This means that many firewood retailers simply sell out in the buildup to Christmas. Therefore, we recommend stocking up on your logs now during the summer.

Reason number 2)

We offer discounts during the summer period
Our log company offers good discounts across our range of firewood during the summer, so if you have the space, why not stock up now?

 

Reason number 3)

It’s always a good idea to keep a lot of firewood in stock. Let’s say a particularly cold spell sweeps across Wales, just like it did during the “beast from the east.” Well, it’s always a good idea to get plenty of firewood in stock.

 

Reason number 4)

It’s always good to have firewood in stock if a boiler fails.
Gas central heating boilers can stop working at any time. This could be due to a main board failure or a faulty gas pump. What’s for sure is that you don’t want a freezing cold house for very long, so it’s always a good idea to keep firewood in stock at any time of the year.

 

Reason number 5)

We are making burning firewood at home more affordable; we offer some of the best prices anywhere in South Wales.
So, if you want to use less gas and instead switch more to using a solid fuel to heat your home right throughout the entire year, then we are the company to call.

 

Forestry Firewood is out busy delivering firewood all year around.

Whether it’s spring, summer, or the middle of winter, our delivery vans are busy delivering our quality firewood. We deliver across South Wales, so if you would like logs delivered, call us today, and we can arrange a convenient time to provide our logs.

Introduction

When we think of logs and firewood, we think of a nice woodburning stove or open fire crackling the way during winter nights.

We might think of mulled wine, and cinnamon sticks hanging out of the glass and the logs keeping us nice and warm on a cold winters night. However, we don’t usually consider firewood as being sold in quantity during the summer months when it’s hot.

However, there is one company that is diligently delivering firewood right throughout the entire year- that’s Forestry Firewood Ltd of Newport.

Stock up on your firewood while you can

Because of the natural gas price increase, which have soared in recent years, there has been an influx of enquiries from November to December with people wanting firewood delivered. Many customers are often disappointed when they contact various other firewood companies, that’s because some other businesses might have quickly run out of stock long before they called them.

However, our company is different.

Here at Forestry Firewood we have a large warehouse, we regularly re-stock our firewood and cut and process our logs right throughout the summer months as well.

 

 

Get ahead of the rush winter rush

Therefore, we also now in 2024 deliver so much firewood, whether that be ash logs, beech or oak firewood right throughout the hot months of June, July, August and September.

That’s because our customers now recognise they need to get ahead of the winter rush. It’s a bit like booking a holiday; you must book well in advance to ensure you get the date you want.

This is a bit the same now with firewood. Because it’s in such strong demand across the U.K, because of the increasing natural gas prices which are staying high. Many of our customers now want their firewood delivered earlier than they need it.

For example, the garage might not be used much throughout the year, so this makes a perfect place to store your firewood ready for the winter ahead.

 

Delivered in large loads

What’s great about picking our firewood company, is that we can offer delivery of large loads; some companies make it quite expensive to purchase a quantity of firewood. Sometimes, they only sell in net bags, which the customer might like because it makes it easier to handle the firewood, yet buying logs in net bags can prove quite expensive if you buy a vast quantity of firewood all in one go.

We can deliver a huge amount of firewood to you all in one go

So, what you may want instead is a large number of loose logs/ firewood delivered by us on our Ford Transit tipper van.

 

Would you like logs delivered in South Wales?

We now cover a vast area of South Wales, including Cardiff Newport and surrounding areas such as Pontypool.

If you would like your logs delivered, why not contact us today?

 

 

 

Introduction

In Pontypool, there are many magnificent houses; many of these homes are also period properties that once relied on solid fuels to heat the home, such as household coal.

Now, many homeowners in Pontypool are returning to using solid fuels and have regular deliveries of quality firewood supplied by our business.

 

Quality Kiln-Dried firewood

When homeowners in Pontypool require a substantial amount of firewood, our large van load delivery service offers competitive prices. Unlike some companies that may have lengthy delivery times, our dedicated drivers ensure prompt delivery to your home or business, right after you place your order.

During peak times, say during the cold months of December, there might be a slightly longer wait. We have a full-time delivery driver, so we aim to deliver our quality, kiln-dried firewood to your house as soon as possible.

 

Different types of firewood in stock

Unlike some log suppliers who offer only one type of firewood, we pride ourselves on having a diverse range of logs in stock at any given time. From popular choices like ash and oak to other varieties, we have something to cater to every homeowner’s preference. Why not call us today to explore the quality firewood options we have in stock at our warehouse in Newport?

 

Our commitment to quality means we always provide dry, ready-to-burn firewood. Unlike some suppliers who may sell ‘wet wood’ that produces excessive smoke and soot, our kiln-dried logs are guaranteed to deliver a clean, efficient burn, providing you with the heat you need without the hassle.

Some firewood that’s sold is sometimes deemed as “wet wood”- this means the wood is often not seasoned or hasn’t been kiln-dried for long enough. This wood produces vast amounts of soot and smoke and annoys your neighbours when you burn it. It can cause damage to the flu and the wood-burning stove, so we recommend you avoid buying wet wood. It may be sold much cheaper than kiln-dried wood, but it’s worth purchasing. It will cause damage to your wood burner and chimney. It can also produce a dull burn, meaning practically no heat is produced.

 

Come to us for high-quality firewood.

Rest assured, we produce logs of the highest quality and maintain a vast stock in our warehouse. This ensures that we always have a substantial quantity of firewood ready to meet your heating needs.

 

Ash, oak and even cherrywood

Pontypool and surrounding areas

Introduction

 You might think that all firewood/logs are the same, right?

Well, actually firewood quality can often vary massively depending on which firewood supplier that you choose. Some suppliers can supply firewood that hasn’t been dried for long enough or is cut from a variety of wood that is not ideally suited for burning within log burners.

Then, on the other hand, right at the other end of the spectrum, you have logs supplied which are fantastic quality firewood that will burn for a long period, and produce huge amounts of heat. They come from various kinds of wood, such as “ash”, which is brilliant for burning within log burners.

Therefore, our firewood is placed in giant kiln, and it is, for all intents and purposes, is baked, so the moisture content is greatly reduced during the period where our logs are within the kiln. The problem with some firewood, supplied by some other firewood suppliers, is that the wood is stored in an open barn, and due to atmospheric conditions, the wood releases moisture but also absorbs it again.

This can mean at the time of sale, the wood could actually be wet, which means it wont burn that hot, and will create a lot of smoke.

 

Choose a company that can deliver firewood quickly.

Some firewood companies can get overwhelmed during the cold weather. Often, during the buildup to say Christmas, many people want a lot of firewood stocked-up in their gardens because it’s the coldest time of the year. However, some companies push back their delivery dates until well into the New Year, because sometimes they have too many deliveries to make. You therefore need a firewood company that can deliver to that a reasonable date.

Because we always have such a large quantity of firewood in stock at any one time, we will endeavour to get out to you as soon as possible, and deliver our firewood. We can therefore often deliver our logs/firewood quickly.

 

Choose a company that owns its firewood kiln.

Some firewood companies are simply retailers of logs that they have purchased from another business. Sometimes, the logs can be perfectly fine and very good quality.

However, we think it’s better for a firewood company to own its own kiln; then, the log supplier can do its own quality control checks on the logs, to ensure they have been baked for a sufficient length of time and are then ready to burn.

 

Pick a company with a lot of positive reviews.

Another reason so many people buy their logs from Forestry Firewood, is the number of positive reviews and feedback that we get from our customers online. We see a huge amount of repeat business from our customers, because we produce a very high-quality logs, and therefore, customers purchase their firewood from us every single winter.

 

We can offer you wide variety of logs to choose from

Some homeowners know precisely the type of logs they like to burn within their property.

For example, many people like ash logs, simply because ash it makes extremely good firewood; it produces scorching and lasting heat.

Therefore, you will need to pick a firewood company that can offer different types of logs or firewood.

Our log warehouse in Newport keeps many different varieties of firewood available for delivery.

Therefore, we always keep a wide variety of different logs available. You might want cherry wood, ash, or English oak logs?
