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.
