So, if your looking on Google for “logs / firewood for sale near Newport, South Wales” then we are definitely the firewood company to call.

Ever since natural gas jumped up in price, a lot of people, have made the switch to heating their homes with solid fuels. Therefore, the homeowner might need a regular delivery of logs, and therefore now use our company to supply logs which heat that business or home.

“That’s where we can help, so if you’re looking for firewood companies near you, well why look any further than us?”

Here is why we are such a popular firewood business here in South Wales

 

 

Quality control

Just as any new car, wouldn’t roll off the production line, without first going through some stringent quality checks, well, neither does our firewood. What we mean by this is, every single batch of firewood, as it comes out of our kiln, it’s checked to see how high the moisture content is of the wood, we use moisture metres to check how high the moisture is within the wood.

If the moisture content is too high, then it simply gets put back into the kiln for baking for a bit longer.

This then at the end of the baking produces good quality, dry wood, that’s ready for burning as soon as its delivered to the customer. But also, you will often see the cracking on the side of the firewood, where the logs have started to crack because the firewood has been subject to such a high temperature, for a sustained period of time in our kiln, which is another sign that the wood is nice and dry and ready to burn.

This is what separates us from some other firewood companies, that is we bake our firewood for as long as the firewood needs to greatly reduce the moisture within the wood. Some companies, during periods where they are most busiest, lets say in the middle of winter, in

December, well the firewood company may be under great pressure to produce logs, so they may not bake the firewood for the correct length of time. Yet we never cut corners, we always produce quality logs.

 

Why don’t you sell seasoned logs?

Some companies do dry their timber in a barn, and this is in the belief that over time, the moisture will evaporate out of the wood and they will become seasoned ready for burning. The problem with this is, we live in such a wet, damp climate here in Great Britain, that the wood is constantly absorbing moisture, so we think a better way is to put the cut logs into a kiln, and to bake the logs.

If the wood is not dry enough, then we will simply bake the logs for a bit longer in our kiln, until when we put our moisture meter reads that the moisture is greatly reduced enough, ready for us to be able to sell the logs.

 

 

Friendly service

Year in year out, people return to purchasing their logs from us, and that’s because we deliver quality logs to our customers, plus we offer friendly service. This means that we can tip the wood off on your drive, using our transit tipper, and because we offer such a reliable service, and count on us to get quality logs delivered as often as they would like.

 

Do you own a large house, and need firewood delivered more regularly?

Some large houses, let’s say a huge Victorian house located in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, that type of home is going to require a lot of firewood delivered to keep the fires burning each day.

For this reason we can deliver firewood as frequently as once a week if that works best for you.
Or we can deliver once a month, or lets say every 3 months.

 

Value for money

Sometimes, some companies simply charge too much for their firewood, and this can put off the homeowner from regularly having the wood burning stove on to heat their homes.

However, some of our customers buy in bulk from us, and have now completely switched off their gas boilers, and just use our logs, as the sole way to heat the house.

 

 

Delivered to your property

When you contact a firewood company, to arrange to purchase some logs, you might be thinking that the delivery costs will be quite expensive. However, we offer very competitive prices on our logs.

When you compare it to some other firewood companies, let’s say for example when you buying logs via some firewood company’s websites, just about when your going to type your debit card number in, you might see that they charge quite a lot for delivery, in excess of £50.00 sometimes.

However we offer very competitive prices, whether that’s on logs and on delivery.

 

Made in Wales

Our firewood is produced here in Wales, we have built our very own kiln, and we produce our logs here within the city of Newport, in South Wales.

 

Large quantities can be delivered all at once

We have a Ford transit tipper, on which we can fit a lot of logs, you might want a lot of logs all delivered in one go?

We can deliver an ample amount of logs to you, all in one go, and then we can return as frequently as you would like, perhaps you would like us to return once a week, or perhaps once a month, or perhaps you would just like us to deliver firewood say every three months?

We can deliver quality logs to you, at a very competitive price.

Is your log pile running low? Now is the time to stock up

 

 

At the current time of writing, the weather is very warm, it is actually above 20°, so you might think that, it’s not worth purchasing logs at this time of year.

However, as we shall explain in this article, now is the time to stock up on your firewood, and that’s because a lot of suppliers become fully booked or either run out of firewood.

 

Switching from gas to solid fuels

As everybody knows in the United Kingdom, gas prices in recent years have increased. This is meant that a lot of people have all chimney places, and also purchased woodburning stoves.

Therefore, this means that there is a huge demand now for kiln dried logs, as more and more people, are now burning logs as some homeowners have made the switch, to using their gas central heating, as the main way to keep their home, and instead switched to using logs.

 

Stock up now ready for the winter

Even though it’s really warm this September here in Great Britain, this is a great time to get your firewood delivered prior to the cold winter weather.

The reason is, some firewood companies, have at least a year three-week wait until they can get to the homeowner to deliver quality logs to their house.

This means that the homeowner might not have enough firewood to burn, while they are waiting for their next delivery.

This is why so many homeowners, within the city of Cardiff, that in South Wales as well and the city of Newport, are calling us, to get firewood delivered ready for the winter.

We offer to deliver firewood right throughout the week, from Monday to Friday, we have a delivery driver out delivering quality firewood right across these two cities.

And we are taking bookings now for us to deliver firewood, yet if you were to delay and wait until winter, there might be a wait until we can get out to you and deliver the firewood to your home.

 

Why purchase your firewood from us?

There are now hundreds of suppliers of firewood within Wales, so there are plenty of companies to pick from. The reason why you are such a popular company, and why people return to us every single year, is simply because we can offer firewood which is of a consistent high quality.

We use a forklift truck, to take a batch of firewood out of the kiln, then we measure the moisture within the logs, and if the moisture is not reduced enough, then we put the logs back into the kiln to bake a bit longer.

Therefore, when you have our logs delivered, you might see a slight cracking within the logs, that’s because they have baked for a long period of time, meaning that the moisture has evaporated away from the logs, and they are dry and ready to burn.

Our customers regularly comment how easy it is to ignite our logs, with a small amount of kindling, and firelighters, you can ignite our logs quickly. That’s because they have been dried for many hours, in our kiln, within our kiln is a blower, which make sure that we blow hot air right throughout the kiln, making sure that all of our logs are perfectly dry and ready for burning.

 

Welsh firewood

We cut and also dry our firewood here in Wales, our firewood is then delivered right across South Wales. We supply mostly to residential customers, who use our firewood to heat their homes, but we also supply too many businesses as well.

For example, many businesses use our firewood, to heat their pubs, their restaurants as well as also hotels.

If you run a business within Wales, and you are looking to purchase firewood, then it’s important to pick a company that can supply on a regular basis. Because we keep such a huge amount of logs at our farm, we can supply firewood as regular as you would like, this could be once a week or it could be once a month.

We can supply both softwood and as well as hardwood logs, if you would like to arrange for a delivery to be made then why not call us?

If the logs are too wet, in that there is too much moisture contained within the logs, then they simply get put back into the kiln for a longer period of time, to ensure that the wood is drier.

We also use a biomass boiler, that’s powered by wood shavings and sawdust, so none of our wood ever goes to waste, because it either sold to the customer in the form of kiln dried logs, or the waste, that is wood shavings simply go back into the biomass boiler, to help dry the logs within the kiln.

We simply sell top quality logs, which have been kiln dried for a long period of time, and therefore they are ready for putting straight into your wood-burning stove, or burning in an open fire within your home.

How do we ensure that your firewood is always top quality?

 

Introduction

There are many people who will have purchased firewood from other companies, only to find, that is extremely difficult to light and doesn’t burn that well.

This often means the wood is slightly damp, and when it is burning, it may produce excessive amounts of smoke. This is what is called, “wet wood”, and it shouldn’t be burnt. The reason that this type of wood, shouldn’t be burnt, is it can damage your chimney, it can damage your wood-burning stove and also your flu, plus it’s not good for the environment, as wet wood, can cause a large amount of smoke and soot.

 

So, what firewood should be burnt?

The answer is, you should purchase very high quality, kiln dried firewood, and that’s exactly what we sell., The moisture content of the wood checked, before it is sold to the customer.

So, for example, every batch that leaves our kiln within Newport, we check the moisture content of the wood before we deliver it to the customer, to make sure that its top quality, and that the moisture content is low enough for us to sell it, if the moisture content is too high, it simply goes back into the kiln, to bake a little bit longer. Then once the logs have been baked again, we will then check again the moisture content, once we have baked the logs for a few more hours.

Therefore, as you can see, no logs will leave our yard, until they have been baked for long enough. This ensures that all of our logs are ready to burn, high-quality and therefore when our customers receive our logs, they can use them straightaway, whether that’s to use them in a wood-burning stove, in a fire pit, or perhaps in a pizza oven?

 

Does the kiln drying process allow the wood to burn better?

Most definitely, kiln dried firewood burns much hotter, it produces less soot, it is therefore better for the environment, that’s because the wood burns more cleanly. If it wasn’t kiln dried, then it’s likely to cause a lot of smoke to come out of your chimney.

Plus kiln dried firewood is better for your wood-burning stove and for your chimney and flue.

 

How do you ensure, that every batch of firewood, his high quality?

We have built our own kiln within Newport, we have designed it, and we built it, so that it can dry a huge quantity of firewood in one go. Sometimes, the kiln is running 24-7, to keep up with demand from our customers within Wales.

We have invested in top-quality biomass boilers as well, to generate the heat, needed to dry the wood plus the biomass boilers also run off sawdust, and wood shavings that would have otherwise gone to waste. Every time our firewood has finished baking within the kiln, we then check every single batch of logs with a moisture meter, to make sure that the moisture content within the firewood is low enough for us to sell the logs to our customers.

 

Huge kilns

Because we have built huge kilns, this simply means that we can dry a huge quantity of logs at once.

This also means that we purchase huge number of logs at once, and therefore because we have the ability to dry so many logs in one go, this is how we always have a huge amount of firewood for sale at any one time. We actually have a huge barn that’s full of firewood ready for sale, so whether it’s the peak of summer let’s say in July, or at a freezing cold day in December, at our barn we normally have a huge amount of firewood for sale.

Our business is known for offering some of the best prices on firewood here in South Wales in matter of fact our logs are often much cheaper than some of our direct competitors, yet there is absolutely no compromise at all on quality even lower prices are much lower.
There is never no compromise on quality, because all of our logs are quality checked before they leave our yard.

 

Do some varieties of logs which require drying for longer?

Our company sells both softwood, as well as hardwood logs, hardwood logs will require drying for a longer period of time than softwood logs, however we always dry all of our logs the correct length of time, so whether we are selling softwood or hardwood logs, our logs are always are very high quality, and always kiln dried for the sufficient length of time so they are ready to burn straightaway, that’s as soon as we deliver them to our customers.

 

Are your logs ready to burn?

Yes, our firewood doesn’t need to be seasoned, or need to go into log store for say six months to dry, instead it can be burnt straightaway, as it’s already been dried through the kiln drying process. Our logs can therefore be put in your wood-burning stove straightaway.
Can you deliver every single month?

For some homeowners, because they have seen such a huge rise in their gas bills, the main way that they are now heating their home is through using our logs, therefore sometimes some of our customers require the logs to be delivered every single month, for large houses, for example houses in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, sometimes a homeowner would like the firewood to be delivered every single week.

We always keep a huge quantity of firewood in stock, so whether you require us to deliver every three months, or you wish for us to deliver every single month, we can deliver as often as you would like.

We also deliver our logs right throughout the entire summer

 

 

Introduction

Some businesses, only sell their logs during say Decmeber, when the firewood is in strong demand. However our delivery vans are always busy delivering logs right throughout the entire year. That’s simply because, many homeowners now have hot tubs which are heated by logs, they may also have pizza ovens within the garden, as well as large fire pits.

Some homeowners therefore don’t just require logs during the winter, some homeowners require logs to be delivered right throughout the summer as well.

Here at Forestry Firewood we deliver logs right throughout the year.

 

Logs for your fire pit

Our British summers do seem very short, this is why so many people spend as much time as they can within their gardens soaking up the sun and enjoying a nice bottle of champagne or wine. However, our evenings can still be a little bit chilly, so a lot of people like to light a fire pit, and sit around it with marshmallows on sticks.

We can supply you with quality logs, that can be easily lit, and are perfect for use in a fire pit because the logs have been kiln dried.

The reason we say that the logs are perfect for use in a fire pit, is because they are so dry they will burn  hot producing very little smoke.

However if you were to burn wood which hasn’t been seasoned, or the wood which is not kiln dried, then when you try to light it in a fire pit, it might be very hard to ignite, plus when it does ignite and start to burn it might be very smoky.

The last thing you want is to sit around a smoky fire pit, because it will cause a lot of smoke, which will make your clothes smell of smoke and also its can make a lot of people feel unwell in terms of coughing.

So therefore when you want to use wood within a fire pit, you need wood which is being seasoned or which has been kiln dried, so that it burns very hot and produces less smoke. Our logs are such good quality that they will burn very hot, and produce very bright flames.

 

Hot tub

A lot of people do not wants a electric Jacuzzi, because of the amount of electric that it might consume. Therefore homeowners might buy a hot tub which can be heated through logs, we can supply you with a large amount of logs so that you can keep your hot tub nice and warm.

 

Pizza oven

Everybody likes to taste a nice authentic pizza, therefore a lot of people of have pizza ovens built within their garden, and we can supply you with logs to use in your pizza oven. This can produce nice tasty pizzas.

And this is exactly what our business can offer, we can reliably deliver quality firewood to your home.

What our customers like about our logs, is that we offer a consistent level of quality, that’s because our firewood is dried in a large kiln.

Before each batch of firewood is delivered to our customers, we check the moisture content of the firewood.

This is the make sure that we have dried the logs correctly, so that as soon as they are delivered to the customer’s home, they can be used straightaway for burning in say the wood burning stove.

We can deliver a large quantity of logs to your home every month.

This means that the homeowner will need quality firewood, delivered perhaps every month during the winter, and we can deliver anywhere within Penarth.

 

Barry, Vale of Glamorgan

We can also deliver our firewood in Barry, which is in the Vale of Glamorgan. For example you might have a large house overlooking the sea, and during the winter, the strong winds might blow off the sea and it might be very cold outside. Therefore you might have a large open fire, which is roaring throughout the day to keep your house nice and warm, we can supply a lot of firewood to your home, so that you can keep your log store nice and full.

 

Why purchase kiln dried firewood?

Sometimes, some homeowners purchase what is called seasoned firewood, and seasoned firewood can burn brilliantly, as long as it has been correctly seasoned.

However what sometimes happens is, some businesses which sell seasoned firewood, sometimes don’t allow the wood to season and dry for a long enough period of time. What therefore happens is the logs may have to higher moisture content, if they haven’t been correctly seasoned, and this can mean that they may not burn correctly. For example, it might take a large amount of effort to get the fire ignited, plus when the woods does start to burn, it might be extremely smoky.

This is why we would only recommend burning kiln dried firewood.

Firewood and Kiln Dried Firewood: A Comprehensive Guide

 

Introduction:

The use of firewood as a fuel source dates back thousands of years, and it remains an essential resource for millions of people worldwide.

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of firewood and its kiln-dried counterpart, exploring their history, benefits, uses, and more. Our discussion will include essential information on selecting the best firewood, proper storage techniques, and how kiln drying has revolutionised the industry. We’ll also provide an FAQ section for all your burning questions on the topic.

10 Key Points:

  1. Firewood is a renewable and carbon-neutral source of energy.
  2. Kiln-dried firewood is a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional firewood.
  3. Properly seasoned firewood has a moisture content of less than 20%.
  4. Hardwoods are denser and provide more heat output than softwoods.
  5. Kiln drying reduces moisture content, improves combustion, and minimises creosote buildup.
  6. The type of firewood used can greatly affect the heating efficiency and emissions of a wood-burning appliance.
  7. Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of firewood.
  8. Kiln-dried firewood has a longer shelf life and is less susceptible to pests and mold.
  9. Regulations and certifications ensure sustainable forestry practices and responsible firewood production.
  10. The use of firewood and kiln-dried logs is growing in popularity due to increased awareness of environmental and energy efficiency concerns.

Firewood: A Timeless Resource

Firewood has been a vital source of heat and energy for millennia, with evidence of its use dating back to prehistoric times (source). As a renewable and carbon-neutral resource, firewood is an environmentally friendly choice for heating and cooking. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that residential wood burning in the United States accounted for approximately 2.1 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2019 (source).

Selecting the Right Firewood

The type of firewood you choose can have a significant impact on the efficiency and emissions of your wood-burning appliance. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, are denser than softwoods like pine and spruce, providing more heat output per volume (source). Seasoned firewood, with a moisture content of less than 20%, is also essential for efficient and clean combustion (source).

Kiln Dried Firewood: A Modern Alternative

Kiln-dried firewood is a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional firewood. Kiln drying involves placing logs in a controlled environment, using heat to reduce moisture content. This process results in firewood with a moisture content of less than 15% (source), improving combustion, minimizing creosote buildup, and reducing the risk of chimney fires.

Benefits of Kiln Dried Logs

  1. Increased heating efficiency: Kiln-dried logs produce more heat per volume compared to traditional firewood due to their lower moisture content (source).
  2. Reduced emissions: Kiln drying reduces harmful emissions, such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, by up to 75% (source).
  3. Longer shelf life: Kiln-dried firewood is less susceptible to pests and mold, extending its usability (source).
  4. Faster ignition: The lower moisture content of kiln-dried logs allows them to ignite more easily (source).
  5. Cleaner burning: Kiln-dried

firewood produces less creosote, resulting in cleaner chimneys and reduced maintenance (source).

Proper Storage for Firewood and Kiln Dried Logs

Storing firewood properly is essential to maintain its quality and ensure efficient combustion. Keep firewood off the ground and protected from rain and snow to prevent moisture absorption and decay. A well-ventilated and covered storage area, such as a woodshed, is ideal for promoting air circulation and preventing mold growth (source).

Regulations and Certifications

Sustainable forestry practices and responsible firewood production are crucial to minimizing the environmental impact of wood burning. Certifications, such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), ensure that wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests (source).

Growing Popularity of Firewood and Kiln-Dried Logs

As awareness of environmental and energy efficiency concerns grows, so too does the popularity of firewood and kiln-dried logs. A study by the Biomass Energy Resource Center found that wood heating in the United States increased by 34% between 2000 and 2010 (source). This trend is expected to continue as consumers seek sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to fossil fuels.

Conclusion: Firewood has played a vital role in human history, providing heat and energy for countless generations. Today, innovations such as kiln drying have revolutionized the industry, offering a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional firewood. By selecting the right wood, properly seasoning and storing it, and adhering to regulations and certifications, we can harness the power of firewood while minimizing its environmental impact.

Benefits of kiln-dried firewood

Improved burning efficiency

Kiln-dried firewood has a significantly lower moisture content compared to other types of firewood, such as seasoned firewood. This makes it much easier to ignite and to burn, resulting in improved burning efficiency.  

Reduced Creosote Build-up

When wood burns, it produces creosote and soot, a flammable byproduct that can accumulate in your chimney and cause a fire hazard, this is why you should get your chiney swept as regular as the chimney sweeper advises. Kiln-dried firewood produces significantly less creosote / soot than other types of firewood, such as wet wood, this is due to its low moisture content.

Sustainable

Kiln-dried firewood is a sustainable heating option. The wood used for kiln-drying often comes from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that trees are responsibly harvested and replaced. 

Low moisture content ensures better heat output

The lower moisture content of kiln-dried firewood ensures that it produces more heat per unit volume compared to other types of firewood.

According to the Biomass Energy Centre (http://www.biomassenergycentre.org.uk/portal/page?_pageid=75,20041&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL), kiln-dried firewood can produce up to 4,500 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per pound, while air-dried wood produces around 3,500 BTUs per pound.

This increased heat output means you’ll need less firewood to warm your home, reducing overall fuel consumption.

Kiln-dried firewood is safe for both indoor burning, say in your wood burning stove, or fireplace and our firewood can also be used for outdoor use, say in a firepit, making it a versatile fuel source for various heating applications.

Whether you’re using it in a wood-burning stove, fireplace, or outdoor fire pit, kiln-dried firewood provides a consistent, clean-burning, and efficient heat source.

Are you planning on heating your home solely with solid fuels?

Introduction

After the recent spike in energy prices, we’ve all noticed that diesel and petrol is more expensive when compared to just a while back, and so is gas. This has meant that a lot of British homeowners, have reopened fireplaces within their living rooms, bought new wood burning stoves and some homeowners, may well be planning on using logs as the main way to their homes, not just this year but for the foreseeable future as well.

Therefore this makes sense, to have a firewood company, like ours to regularly deliver logs right throughout the entire year, and that’s exactly what we can offer.

We can deliver quality kiln dried logs, in any quantity that you would like. So, for example, some of our customers have a full load, that’s a vanload of logs delivered every single month. Perhaps you would like less firewood delivered, and we can offer to deliver this also. We can deliver any quantity of firewood that you would like, we mostly deliver in the cities of Newport and Cardiff, as well as all of the surrounding areas.

 

Are you worried about gas prices increasing further next year?

It’s perfectly understandable that a lot of homeowners are worried if gas prices are going to either going to increase a bit more, or could prices jump much higher next year?

This is why a lot of people like to have either logs as the main way to keep their home, or at least have an ample amount of logs stored in a log store in their garden, so that they can use their logs when they want to.

Now for a lot of people they might not have large gardens, so they might not have enough space to store logs and seasoning them for over a year before they are ready to burn. This is why logs unseasoned logs are often sold a lot cheaper, because you need to store them for a long period of time before they are then ready for burning.

However, our logs are totally different, they been put into a kiln, which is extremely hot, and the logs then have their moisture content reduced, so you will start to see on the side of the logs slight cracking sometimes, this is to show they have been heated up, to such a temperature the moisture is evaporated out of them.

Then our logs are ready to burn , once they have been left in our kiln for a long enough period of time, they can then be put into your wood-burning stove or burning in an open fire as soon as their delivered.

Does your company deliver firewood during the summertime?

 

Introduction

When we think of the many businesses that sell firewood, often a lot of people instantly think that they only deliver firewood during the colder winter months.

And for some firewood companies this is true, they may only sell firewood throughout the winter  they may only sell their firewood during the winter, and the summer, that business may just concentrate on their tree surgery business, and collect the logs, ready for selling during the following winter, if the wood has been kiln-dried.

However, here at Forestry Firewood Ltd, our company is quite different, in that we supply quality firewood right throughout the entire year.

We therefore supply our firewood, in spring, summer, winter, and also during autumn.

Within this article we are going to explain the common uses for our logs are used during the summer, and we will explain how our firewood offers such fantastic value for money to our customers.

 

Fire pits

During the summer, you might like to sit out within your garden with friends and enjoy a nice bottle of red or white wine?

Therefore within your garden, you might have a large fire pit, and therefore need a quality firewood to burn in your fire pit, so you can sit enjoy a bottle of wine or two in your garden with friends during the summer.

Your garden may well be surrounded by many other gardens; therefore you want a firewood that you can burn which doesn’t produce that much smoke.

Wet wood is very difficult to light, that’s one problem, the other is it can produce excessive amounts of smoke, which can annoy you and your neighbours, if you were to use the logs in say a firepit or a pizza oven for example.

If you were to use wet wood to burn within your home, lets say that you were to burn it within your wood burning stove, then this can damage the stove itself, but also the chimney. The reason damage can occur, is because wet wood simply creates excessive amounts of soot, which can partially block chimneys, and also wood burning stoves. Our best advice would be, avoid purchasing wet wood, and purchase quality logs, from companies that have a good reputation for supplying quality wood, like Forestry Firewood.

 

How do you ensure your firewood is dry, and ready for burning?

Our firewood goes through a drying process, which means that the wood is dried, and ready to burn, so our logs burn without causing excessive amounts of smoke.

Our logs are therefore perfectly suited for use when burning within a fire pit within your garden or within your home, say in a wood burning stove. Our firewood has been kiln dried.
