Where can we purchase premium-quality Firewood & Logs in Cardiff (A 2026 Guide)

 

Cardiff, a large city, naturally has many homeowners looking to purchase the best firewood that they can obtain this winter.

Often they don’t just want firewood; they want premium firewood- this is where Forestry Firewood can help.

The difference in wood quality should not be underestimated. Some wood can be wet and have too much sap, which can damage the wood-burning stove. The smoke and soot means that the actual cast iron wood burning stove can become clogged up, damaged and result in it needing repair.

This is the same as the chimney itself, it can also become damaged by burning unseasoned and wet wood.

However, as this guide will illustrate, we have some of the best premium firewood on sale in Cardiff today this is why so many businesses and the general public buy their logs from us.

 

This guide will cover

• What type of firewood do I need?
• What’s one of the more affordable ways of purchasing logs?
• How do I ensure I am purchasing dry wood?
• What’s the best type to burn?
• But we have no vans or collection method in Cardiff; what should we do?
• What are some of the best log deals in 2026?
• How much experience do you have selling firewood?
• What’s best: Ash, Oak or Beech?
• How much does firewood cost?
• What type of firewood is best for a cast iron log burner?
• When can our wood be delivered in Cardiff?

 

What type of firewood do I need?

There are so many varieties of firewood to choose from; quite often, what species of wood is available is dependent on which country you are based in.

As we are in the United Kingdom, our most common wood is Ash, Oak and really good option is beech.

A massively popular option for firewood in Britain is Oak logs; the simple reason is that you can add an oak log and leave it to burn for quite a while. In comparison, with softwoods, such as pine wood, you have to keep adding to the log burner much more regularly to prevent the fire from going out.

A lot of people therefore like oak, as it burns much longer than other types of wood.

 

What’s one of the more affordable ways of purchasing logs?

Customers buy firewood in many ways, from net bags at the local petrol station to large tipper loads from Decland and the team.

We recommend buying loose, kiln-dried wood, from us, this offers good value. Do also ask the firewood supplier how many builder’s bags of wood you will receive. This lets you estimate roughly how much firewood you are receiving.

Therefore, ask your firewood merchant how many builder’s bags that is equivalent to.

This allows you to compare prices on a like-for-like basis.

The reason is that many firewood retailers in Cardiff sometimes refer to cube sizes or, for example, net bag equivalents.

This makes it harder for the customer to understand how much they will be getting.

How do I ensure I am purchasing dry wood?

Ask your firewood supplier whether the firewood is kiln-dried or seasoned.

All of our wood is baked in giant kiln, its therefore ready for burning straightaway, and no further seasoning of the timber is required. This is quite different from wet wood you may purchase elsewhere, that’s just come from say a Ash tree that’s just been cut down. This wood wont be seasoned, therefore shouldn’t be burnt.

Respected firewood suppliers, like Forestry Firewood, use a moisture meter to check the moisture of our logs. We use a digital moisture metre, therefore before Decland loads the logs onto the van, they are checked to make sure that the moisture of the logs is low, so that they firewood can be burnt straightaway.

This means placing prongs into the wood, then reading the moisture level on a digital readout.

 

What’s the best type of wood to burn?

This often comes down to personal preference; for example, some customers prefer oak because it burns for a long time compared to softwoods.

Then you have woods that burn much more brightly and produce intense heat, such as kiln-dried ash.

So it depends on what the customer prefers.

However, at our warehouse, we often have the following types of wood:

  • Cherrywood
  • Ash
  • Oak
  • Beech
  • Elm
But we have no vans for collection of the firewood in Cardiff; what should we do?

We can deliver our logs directly to your home or your business anywhere within the city of Cardiff totally free of charge! That’s why so many people choose Forestry Firewood.

 

What are some of the best log deals in 2026?

Ash at £120.00 a bag supplied by our company currently offers superb value for money. In fact, it’s one of our best-selling log types, not only because it’s offered at a great price, but also because of the quality of our logs.

Our quality is hard to beat because our logs are kiln-dried for longer than some other companies.

The extended drying process means our firewood is drier, burns much hotter, and offers better value than what some other companies can offer.

 

How much experience do you have selling firewood?

We now have over 3 years of experience in selling firewood. Therefore we know what makes good-quality kiln-dried wood, and we only sell premium-quality logs to our customers.

 

What’s best: Ash, Oak or Beech to burn?

We would say all three are very popular with our customers. In the Cardiff area, we are always out delivering all of these types of wood as our customers often order different types of wood from us.

If we had to say which is most popular of the three, we’d say Ash.

This type of firewood burns with a very intense flame, producing good heat output.

 

How much does firewood cost?

Firewood costs can vary; we would therefore encourage you to check our current price list on our homepage for up-to-date prices or to give us a call.

We will always aim to offer our customers some of the best value for money.

We don’t base value for money on price alone.

We also think that to offer the customer a really good deal, the wood needs to be superior to many other firewood suppliers.

This means some suppliers could be much cheaper, yet if the wood is damp or has a high sap content, it won’t burn well. Therefore, the price might be low, but it won’t offer good value for money.
Our prices are very reasonable, considering how dry and how high quality our kiln-dried wood is.

 

What type of firewood is best for a cast iron log burner?

All of our logs are ready to burn because our firewood is kiln-dried for long periods of time.
This means whether you use our logs in an open fireplace in say your living room or within ia wood-burning stove, they are ready to burn.
For a cast iron log burner, you could use any our logs, whether that be ash, oak or perhaps for example beech firewood.

 

When can your firewood be delivered to us in Cardiff?

We would encourage all our customers to call us in advance of wanting their firewood delivered.

Sometimes, we can deliver the same day or within a few days of you calling. For some other times of year, when we are very busy, say in the run up to the Christmas holidays, it can be over a week sometimes before we can deliver in Cardiff for our customers.
Please do give us a call on: 079 668 420 12 we will do our best to get to you as soon as we can.

Why purchase your firewood from us for Winter 2026

 

Introduction

More UK residents will be using their open fires and wood burners this winter. This is due to elevated gas prices, leaving many homeowners searching for alternatives such as using logs to heat their homes.

Our customers tell us they like the reassurance of paying for logs upfront and knowing exactly how much they are spending on heating.

This also allows them to budget their logs and see how many they have, for example, for the month ahead.

We ensure our firewood is dry, high-quality hardwood or softwood logs. We then offer our logs at very reasonable prices.

 

Buy in bulk

Many of our customers like buying their firewood from us in bulk. This means we don’t deliver in small net bags; we tip the firewood loose onto your driveway, so you receive a large quantity in one go.

This offers fantastic value for money, and our prices on our softwood and hardwood firewood is hard to beat.

Are you ready for winter 2026? Stock up your winter logs with us.

 

Introduction

Winter 2026 is going to be a costly time for many households right across the UK.

Natural gas prices are widely expected to rise and stay elevated for some time.

Naturally, this will lead many homeowners to get their fireplaces and stoves ready to burn solid fuels such as our logs.

However, rising natural gas prices will push many homeowners to turn to firewood, even if they have never bought logs before.

Firewood quality in the UK can vary massively.

Sadly, some homeowners will buy low-quality firewood that’s hard to ignite, this is called wet wood and it produces a lot of smoke, and burns very poorly.

This can put some homeowners off buying firewood in the future.

However, when you buy quality firewood from companies like ours, the quality difference is massive.

We stock really high quality ash, oak and beech wood. All have been kiln dried, and therefore ready to burn straightway.

This means that it’s dry and ready to burn.

In this article, we’ll discuss what to consider when buying firewood this coming winter.

 

Kiln dried

Firewood falls into two categories: seasoned wood or kiln-dried wood.

Now, both types of wood can burn brilliantly and offer good value for money.

However, we offer only kiln-dried wood. This means the logs are blasted in a large furnace at high temperatures.

The moisture then escapes from the logs, which means that they are really dry and ready to burn straight away.

 

High quality

We sell some of the best quality firewood around.

The reason is that we never deliver a batch of firewood unless it’s been moisture-meter checked first.

Our delivery drivers therefore check how dry the wood is

We then check it to make sure it’s ready to burn as soon as it’s delivered to the customer’s house.

 

Affordable

We sell our firewood at a really affordable price.

The reason that we can offer this is because the logs are delivered loose and in large quantities.

When you consider that some people pick up the odd bag of firewood, say at the local petrol station, each week, well, this can be an expensive way to heat your home.

Bagged firewood, often sold in small net bags, can be very expensive, depending on where you buy it.

However, many customers come to us because we sell vast quantities of loose wood.

This is often more affordable than just buying in small quantities.

In winter 2026, gas prices will likely stay elevated; it’s more important than ever to buy large quantities of firewood now.

Our delivery teams are likely to be extremely busy this winter.

We therefore encourage all our customers to call us as soon as possible to arrange delivery to your home.

Why not try different types of wood?

Also, when choosing a new firewood supplier- choose one that offers different types of firewood.

Customers often try different types of logs, such as beech, oak, or ash.

All burn slightly differently, so some customers prefer hardwood logs; others prefer the slightly cheaper option of softwood logs that we offer.

At our vast warehouse in Newport, we keep a wide variety of different logs in stock.

So why not call our super friendly team to see which logs we have in stock ready for delivery right now?

This winter is likely to be our busiest time because of high gas prices in the UK.

We encourage you to call us, as soon as you can so we can deliver our quality logs to you.

Have you stocked up on firewood for the colder autumn nights?

 

Introduction

The nights are drawing in super-fast; the mornings are already colder, and so are the evenings.

Now is the time to get your open fire or log burner ready and prepare your home for the colder nights ahead.

So, the helpful team at Foresty Firewood Ltd has put together a handy guide to some of the things you may want to consider this autumn.

This will help you be better prepared for the autumn ahead. It’s especially important to prepare well in advance this autumn, because natural gas prices are due to rise soon yet again.

Therefore, we anticipate unprecedented demand for logs and solid fuels for the autumn and winter of 2026.

Getting your log burner ready for autumn

 

Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors

You should have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors all year-round.

However, homeowners sometimes forget to check them.

Now is a great time to check, so make sure all smoke alarms are in working order. Also, make sure you have enough carbon monoxide detectors to cover your entire home.

 

Sweep the chimney

An experienced chimney sweep should clean the chimney lining properly, and you shouldn’t put this off.

The reason is that there is a real risk of chimney fires if you don’t have the chimney swept at the correct intervals.

 

Order your logs well in advance.

We strongly recommend ordering your logs / firewood well in advance this year. Natural gas prices are set to rise; therefore, many homeowners will naturally be concerned about what their monthly heating bills will be in 2026 and beyond.

As a result, we expect, like many other firewood suppliers right throughout Great Britain, we will receive many enquiries for our logs this year.

Therefore, we strongly encourage our customers, both new and existing, to arrange delivery well ahead of time.

We also anticipate that many log companies will run out of supply this year.

This is another reason why we would ask you to call us well in advance.

 

Kiln dried

One issue some homeowners encounter is buying low-quality logs.

Log suppliers often refer to this simply as “wet wood” or “unseasoned wood”.

Now, “wet wood” is often timber that’s just come from freshly cut trees.

The issue is that timber from freshly cut trees will have a very high moisture content.

This means it will therefore smoke a lot, damage the log burner, and damage the home’s chimney and linings.

Therefore, it’s much better to purchase “kiln-dried logs”. All the wood we supply at Foresty Firewood Ltd is kiln-dried. So, whether you’re purchasing ash, oak, or beech from us, the timber will always be kiln-dried.

 

FAQ:

 

Which logs do you have in stock?

We often hold a wide variety of different logs in stock at our warehouse. We ask customers to call us, as our stock changes regularly; however, we often keep Ash, Oak, and Beech in stock.

 

Which areas do you deliver firewood to?

We deliver our firewood over a wide area.

For example, our team are always out delivering to homes and places of business based right across South Wales.

 

How long will we have to wait before our firewood is delivered?

Delivery times can fluctuate depending on the time of year, for example, the weeks leading up to Christmas are often our most busiest period.

We can confirm an exact date when you call us.

Firewood delivery near me (things to consider when choosing a local business)

Introduction

Firewood quality varies quite a lot; for example, some companies offer wood that is correctly dried, while others do not.

Therefore, if you’re looking for a business that can deliver logs to your home but aren’t sure which one to choose, this guide will help.

Quality logs vs wet wood

The first thing to consider is how dry the firewood is. Is it kiln-dried, seasoned, or has it just been cut from a tree that’s just been felled? If the timber is wet, it will burn with an excessive amount of smoke. It’s this smoke that clogs up the wood-burning stove, causes damage to the chimney lining, and also causes more pollution due to the amount of smoke and soot.

Therefore, the first thing that we would recommend is to choose a company that offers kiln-dried wood. Whether it’s hardwood or softwood, whether it’s ash, oak, or cedar, make sure that the firewood is dried.

There are two main types of processes used to dry firewood. Those two methods are kiln drying, which basically involves baking the firewood in a kiln; then there’s seasoning, which is leaving it out to dry naturally.

Large quantity

Also, you should look to obtain the best value for money by checking the quantity of firewood that is going to be delivered.

For example, some companies sell firewood in small net bags, whereas others may offer better value by purchasing say the ash logs loose and in a larger quantity.

Offers different types of timber

It’s important to choose a firewood supplier that offers you different types of logs. For example, some customers prefer oak, some prefer ash, some prefer say cedar wood.

Check availability before purchasing.

Before you click the “buy it now” button, we would highly recommend giving the company a ring to check how long you have to wait for delivery. The reason we say that is because sometimes during peak sales periods, such as the build-up to the Christmas holidays, you have to wait many weeks for delivery.

Kiln-dried

We would recommend choosing a firewood company that’s local to you and can supply quality kiln-dried wood. This means that the logs should have been placed inside a giant heated kiln. This then greatly reduces the moisture content of the logs.

Low-cost delivery or free

Some firewood companies offer free delivery; however, some charge a fee even for local delivery. Therefore, when choosing a local firewood delivery service, weigh up whether it’s better to choose a company that offers free delivery, or whether the company that adds a delivery charge on top means the logs actually become very expensive when comparing the two companies.

How we can help you

We are Forestry Firewood. We retail quality kiln-dried firewood, and we offer local delivery.

Ash logs near me (Why is Ash Firewood so popular in Britain?)

 

Introduction

If there’s one variety of firewood that log suppliers are regularly asked for, it would be Ash.

Massively popular with owners of log burners and open fires. However, this doesn’t explain why this type of wood is so popular and why it’s so widely used.

This article will explain just that, as well as why we are one of the largest ash firewood suppliers in South Wales.

 

Very hot burn

Some varieties of firewood either provide an intense heat for a short burst or are so dense that they burn so slowly the heat output is less.

However, with ash, well, it has that perfect combination of intense heat and long burn times. It simply produces a tremendous heat output, yet is not so dense that you need to spend extremely long periods trying to ignite and get the fire started.

 

Homegrown

Ash can be found here in the United Kingdom; it’s therefore been a solid fuel that’s been used for a very long period of time. It can therefore be grown, dried and supplied to customers all here within the United Kingdom.

 

Very little Ash

Ash is the name of this type or species of wood; however, what it actually produces when burnt is very little in the way of actual ash in the bottom of the wood-burning stove. Where some softwoods burn so quickly, they produce more ash; well, ash is different.

It burns so hot and with such an intense level of heat output that the ash residue left is often very minimal. This is important because it demonstrates how efficiently this wood burns; it burns ultra hot, producing less ash.

 

Affordable

Some types of timber, let’s say English Oak, grow so slowly and are an amazing type of firewood. However, because it grows so slowly, this type of firewood is more expensive for firewood suppliers like ourselves to offer for sale.

However, ash is more abundant; therefore, it’s a more affordable type of firewood. This is why it offers superb value for money: you’re getting a type of firewood that burns hot and efficiently, and is easy to ignite, but it’s not as expensive as other types of firewood, such as oak hardwood logs.

 

Do you retail ash firewood?

We most certainly do; it’s one of the most popular types of firewood that we supply to our customers. At our warehouse in Newport, we keep a large amount of ash logs ready for dispatch to our customers.

 

Our ash is already kiln-dried,, so it is ready to burn.

If you would like to place an order with us, then do give us a call on: 079 668 420 12 and we will be able to deliver quality kiln-dried ash to you in a short period of time.

Why are “Ash” logs so popular for use in log burners?

Introduction

When customers contact their firewood suppliers, often there’s one variety of firewood they want.

That firewood is Ash, the reason being, it offers a superior burn when compared to some other varieties of timber. Some types of wood simply burn better, however, even Ash needs to kiln dried or seasoned. Damp or wet wood, can cause damage to the wood burner and the chimney.

For that reason, our firewood experts have written a whole article, dedicated to explaining why Ash is such a good choice, when purchasing a solid fuel for your home.

 

Why is Ash such a commonly used firewood within log burners?

Many homeowners when they first purchase a new wood burning stove often take the logic to buy in great quantity of firewood. Sometimes the customer doesn’t understand the difference between wet wood, kiln dried wood and good seasoned wood. Sometimes they also purchase varieties of wood, which is covered in sap, wet, and will cause issues with the wood burning stove itself.

However, when homeowners experience our kiln-dried ash logs, even though these may be more expensive than some softwoods, our wood offers a superior and hotter burn. The reason is simple, damp wood, or the wrong type of wood will cause excess soot and also smoke. this will cake up the chimney lining with soot and also the wood burning stove can be damaged by being blocked with soot and ash.

Therefore, you will want a wood that burns extremely hot, easy to ignite, and doesn’t produce bellowing smoke out of the chimney. This wood is, ash.

 

Is all Ash firewood the same?

As with all firewood, it’s possible that some firewood that is sold is too damp and wet to burn. This is why our business is so popular all across Wales, because we ensure our wood is ready to burn as soon as it’s delivered to the customers door. We ensure that by only delivering ready to burn kiln-dried firewood to our customers.

What are the benefits of buying from a company that supplies quality wood?

Not all firewood is the same, companies likes our go to great lengths to dry the wood. This means the logs are kiln-dried, this is a time consuming process. However, sometimes wood which has just been cut from recently felled trees. This timber will have too high moisture content, therefore, this is why we would recommend only buying yoir logs from a reputable log supplier.

Why do firewood companies deliver during the summer?

Often, many homeowners take the opportunity to purchase logs during the summer as they are often offered at a discounted price. Also, during the winter months, local suppliers often get so busy there’s often many weeks before they can deliver. Therefore, many of our customers in Wales, have their log stores fully replenished during the warmer months of spring and summer, where we can often deliver to your home with just a few days notice.

Why are oak logs perfect for use in a wood-burning stove?

Introduction

When our customers call us, they more often than not request one variety of lumber over any other.

That is oak, as it’s simply perfect for heating your home. From the simply excellent heat output it produces through to the long burning times, it’s a clear winner among our customers.

So, if you’re new to using solid fuels, such as kiln-dried logs, to heat your home, well, this is the article for you.

We are going to deep-dive into exactly why kiln-dried logs, especially oak, are such a good option.

 

A highly efficient fuel

If you dry oak wood properly, it produces a fantastic heat output for its size. Therefore, say, in the middle of winter, rather than the homeowner having to keep getting off the sofa to replenish the stove with more wood, oak burns for a long time and produces high levels of heat.

Steady and consistent heat

The problem with burning some artificial fuels, as well as some softwood, is that you can pop to the kitchen, perhaps to make a meal, and the fire will have gone out.

Now, this can cause the room temperature to fluctuate. What’s great about burning oak is that it burns for a long duration, meaning the wood-burning stove needs less replenishing.

Widely available

Some forms of wood are quite hard to obtain every year.

This could be because it’s a rare species of wood.

However, oak is often widely available from a whole range of firewood suppliers. And what’s great about choosing us here at Forestry

Firewood is that the vast majority of our stock will be oak.

We therefore always have ample oak firewood in stock.

 

Cost effective

While some softwood deliveries can be fully used in a short period, oak lasts much longer. That’s because heating a home with softwood requires a lot of wood and regular refills for the wood-burning stove. However, hardwoods, well, they burn for long periods, especially well-seasoned oak wood.

Therefore, when you purchase kiln-dried oak at the right price, which is high-quality, well, this type of firewood can offer absolutely fantastic value for money.

We can deliver large quantities of firewood.

The reason why Forestry Firewood is always busy making firewood deliveries throughout the year is that we can deliver large quantities of oak wood at fantastic prices.

The quality of our firewood, combined with competitive pricing, means we deliver it far and wide.

 

Would you like oak logs delivered to your home?

If you would like to place an order for oak to be delivered to your home, why not give us a ring? At our warehouse, we always keep a large supply of oak in stock; it’s actually one of the most popular types of firewood among our customers.

We always have stringent quality control procedures in place. What this means is that all the timber we supply is ready to burn; it’s dry and has been dried to greatly reduce the moisture content of the oak.

This means many advantages to the customer, namely, less smoke emerging from the chimney. It also means a much hotter burn. Because the timber has been through the kiln-drying process, much less ash is left in the wood-burning tray afterwards.

 

Call us today to arrange a delivery of oak.

We deliver oak logs in Cardiff, Newport and all of the surrounding areas. Call us if you have any further questions regarding our firewood.

Where can we purchase Ash Firewood?

Introduction

Ash is right up there in terms of the most popular type of firewood that homeowners want to burn within their log burners.

Yet, why is this type of firewood so popular?

In this article, we will explain why the vast majority of the firewood we now sell is ash and why it is perfectly suited for use as firewood.

We shall also explain why it’s important to purchase wood that’s sustainably sourced, as well as why we now only sell kiln-dried firewood.

 

What are the benefits of burning ash logs?

Ash burns at a very high temperature and has a longer burn time when compared with some other types of firewood.

On top of that, because it burns so hot, it leaves absolutely minimal ash within the wood burner’s tray after the fire has gone out.

Some types of firewood burn rather slowly and offer a really dull burn.

However, ash is the complete opposite once it has been kiln-dried.

 

Why is it important to ensure the ash logs are correctly dried?

Every year, people purchase firewood based the price of the logs alone. Sometimes, initially, it seems like a bargain to have large builders’ bags full of firewood delivered to the customer’s door at a very low price.

However, the firewood may have been cut only recently from trees that were felled say a few week back.

As a result, the resulting logs can still hold a lot of water. This retention of moisture means that the firewood is very hard to ignite, produces a lot of white smoke, and has a very dull burn.

This results in less heat being generated from the wood burning stove, plus you might end up with some very annoyed neighbours as well, because of the smoke bellowing from the chimney!

The reason we say annoyed neighbours is simple: wet wood can fill the air with thick white or grey smoke when wet logs are burnt.

Burning wet wood damages local air quality.

Wet wood also damages the wood-burning stove plus also the chimney as well.

You should avoid wet wood for these reasons.

Kiln-dried firewood may well be more expensive to buy; however, if it’s been correctly dried, it will offer much more heat and therefore offer much better value for money.

 

What makes ash firewood particularly good for burning within wood-burning stoves?

Ash is a type of firewood that burns very hot.

Therefore, it’s perfectly suited for burning in open fires or within your wood-burning stove.

 

Why do you sell kiln-dried ash and not seasoned ash?

We sell kiln-dried logs because we know exactly how long to bake the wood for within our kilns.

This then means our logs will have a very low moisture content. Then we use moisture meters to check the moisture of the logs before deliver to our customers.

 

Where can we purchase ash firewood locally?

We can deliver ash firewood within the city of Cardiff. We also have our delivery vans out making regular deliveries throughout Newport.

 

How can we place an order for logs to be delivered?

Give us a ring on 079 668 420 12, and we will do our best to help you.

Are you currently looking to purchase oak firewood online?

 

You can purchase oak firewood from us with confidence. We have been supplying our logs for over seven years. We therefore know that our customers want quality oak firewood because it burns for a long time and produces very intense heat.

 

Are you struggling to find good-quality firewood locally?

Some firewood companies allow the wood to season outdoors. Sometimes this works; however, if the wood is not stacked correctly, it can get damp and even develop fungi!

Therefore, many homeowners struggle to find a local supplier who can provide quality firewood throughout the year.

This is where we can help; we deliver our oak firewood far and wide.

 

But why does the quality of firewood vary so much?

Some companies choose to dry their firewood naturally outdoors. Instead, the firewood we supply is kiln-dried and subjected to high levels of heat before it’s ready for delivery. Since we know how long each firewood variety needs to be dried for, we can consistently deliver high-quality firewood to our customers.

 

Which wood species would you recommend for burning within a log burner?

The types of wood that we sell most are birch, oak, and ash. The reason why these species of wood are so popular is that they are slow-growing. The wood, therefore, burns for a long period, leaves minimal ash in the bottom of the wood burner ash tray, and has a very high heat output when alight.

Therefore, it depends on how energy-efficient the wood-burning stove is; however our firewood is very dry, and we therefore supply kiln-dried firewood that offers superb value for money.

 

Why we recommend burning oak firewood

Oak logs are known around the world for being excellent firewood. Where certain softwoods mean you have to keep adding more wood into the wood-burning stove to keep it alight throughout the evening, oak simply burns for longer. The reason why oak burns so long is that it’s a hardwood, and it’s brilliant for burning.

However, not all oak is the same; the moisture within the oak must be greatly reduced through kiln drying the wood. That is why we have huge kilns to dry the wood and get it ready for burning.

 

Would you like quality firewood delivered to your home?

We deliver a wide variety of firewood, not just oak.

We can deliver throughout most of South Wales. What’s great about choosing our business is that we can deliver our oak to you loose, meaning we can supply a large quantity at a very affordable price.

 

Do you also deliver throughout the spring and summer months?

We deliver our quality logs year-round.

Whether the weather is warm or cold outside, our hardworking team are out delivering firewood to our valued customers year-round.

Does using oak firewood make it harder to get the fire started?

Oak is a hardwood; you would need softwood kindling to get the fire started within your log burner. The great part is, we also supply kindling to help you get the fire started. Therefore, Forestry Firewood can literally supply you with everything you need to keep your home nice and warm.

 

Do you check if the firewood is ready to burn before delivery?

We most certainly do. We have high-quality, accurate moisture meters. This means that before any of the wood is loaded onto the van, it’s checked to ensure the moisture levels are low enough and therefore all of our logs are ready to burn.

 

How much do your oak logs cost?
Prices for oak firewood fluctuates from time to time; however, on our homepage and throughout our website, we display our most up-to-date prices.

 

Can we purchase a large quantity of oak in one go?

You most certainly can. Some of our customers in Cardiff have large detached properties, so sometimes they purchase a full van load from us on a regular basis. This is so that they can keep their wood store fully stocked.
