Do you need logs this summer for your fire-pit?

During those long summer nights, a lot of homeowners like to sit out, and enjoy a glass of wine next to a firepit.

Listening to the wood crackle as it burns, while chatting to friends out your garden is a great way to spend summer.

Yet, its so important that if you want to burn wood in your garden, that you purchase quality firewood.

Otherwise, wet wood can sometimes cause a lot of smoke, which can be annoying for you, as well as your  neighbours.

The smoke is caused by the wood being wet, so its not seasoned, neither will it be kiln-dried.

So this is why quality firewood is needed, which burns bright, this is exactly what we can offer, so you can enjoy your evening, while the fire radiates a nice heat, as well as producing glowing ambers, illuminating your garden.

What makes your firewood so good?

Introduction

Many of our customers now tell us, that they have made the switch from using their central heating system as the main way of heating their home, to now using kiln-dried firewood, that is supplied by our company.

Because our customers are now using an increased amount of firewood, often they don’t want to e-mail or call every time that they need their log store needs to be replenished with our logs.

Therefore, many customers are now arranging with us, to have their firewood delivered to their house once a month.

Some of our customers, will want firewood delivered on a more regular basis, we can therefore deliver once a week if the customer would like.

For some homes, throughout say the Vale of Glamorgan, the customer might have a very large detached home, and as you can imagine, to heat such a property would often require a lot of firewood, this is where we can help.

We have our own kiln

Here in Wales we have built our own kiln, this means that we can take logs, and dry them through what called a kiln drying process. The kiln that we have is very large, which means that every day we are drying vast amounts of logs, we therefore supply many businesses and homes across Cardiff and further afield. We regularly make deliveries to Newport, vale of Glamorgan and the valleys, such as in Aberdare for example.

Tipper vans

A lot of our customers tell us that they no longer want to purchase firewood from say a local store, instead they often want to buy logs in a much larger quantity, this is where our company can help.

Where the customer may have been buying net bags, they may now want to purchase a larger amount of firewood, that’s loose. This is exactly what our business can offer, we can deliver the firewood to you. The firewood can be tipped loose onto your driveway.

Competitive prices

All of our firewood is kiln-dried, which simply means that the wood is ready to burn. This is quite different from some other suppliers, which might sell you, what is called wet wood.

Wet wood is often sold cheaper, but the customer will then need to season the logs at home, depending on the type of wood it is, will determine how long it needs to be dried.

However, if you do buy wet wood, what you have to know is, that it can take sometimes a very long time to dry, and also, during that period, it can take up a lot of space in your garden.

So if you don’t want to wait for the logs to season, you buy firewood from us that ready to burn straightaway.

What you also have to know about purchasing wet wood is, if it’s burnt prior to it being seasoned, then it can damage your chimney and also your stove.

The main reason for this is, it can produce excessive soot, which can damage your chimney.

Introduction

Wet wood is sometimes offered at a low price here in Wales, and sure it might be cut into a size where it would fit into a wood burner.

Yet with that said, wet wood, should never be burnt. The reason for this is all firewood should first go through a kiln-drying process, or be seasoned.

Its also important to know different logs take varying amount of time to season, but the timber should be correctly dried. Wet wood should therefore never be burnt, it can cause considerable damage to your stove, chimney and your flu.

Sometimes people think that all logs can be burnt straightaway, however wet logs shouldn’t be burnt, because as this article explains, it can damage your chimney and wood burner.

Let’s look at five reasons why you shouldn’t burn wet wood

Number one damage to your chimney

Wet wood can damage your chimney, the reason for this is, wet logs can produce excessive amounts of soot, which can lead to damage to your wood-burning stove and also the flu.

Because the wet wood has not been seasoned or kiln-dried, means that once it burns, it will produce a lot of smoke, it will therefore create a lot of soot which can damage your stove.

Number two: You might not be able to ignite wet logs

Wet wood can be so damp that sometimes, that no matter how many firelighters you use, you might not be able to ignite it. This is another reason why not to burn wet wood, because it can produce no heat or a very dull burn.

Number three: Can actually damage your wood-burning stove

A lot of people spend a considerable amount on their wood-burning stoves, that’s because they want to use it for many years to come, therefore as any manufacturer of stoves will tell you, you should never burn wet wood.

Wet wood can actually damage the stove itself.

Reason number four Can produce excessive smoke

Sometimes merely opening the door on your wood-burning stove, when wet wood is being burnt can mean that excessive amounts of smoke can escape.

It can also mean that your neighbours may see a lot of excessive smoke coming out of the chimney.

This is another reason not to use wet wood.

If you plan on seasoning the logs yourself, that is to say you’ve bought wet wood and you want to dry the wood yourself at home, then you have to be aware that it can take a very long time until the firewood is ready to burn.

Different logs will take a different amount of time to dry depending on which type of timber it is.

This is why so many people purchase kiln- dried firewood from us instead.

If you are looking to purchase logs in South Wales, then we offer very high-quality firewood that’s ready to burn.

We can even deliver the logs to you in South Wales.

So why not call us, so we can arrange a convenient time to deliver the logs to you.

Introduction

At this present time, that is during March 2022, you may have read a lot of news articles, and seen on the television, that there is a lot of conversation about gas prices which have increased recently.

This has meant at our company, we have had conversations with many of our customers, which have stated that they have made the switch to solid fuels, to heat their homes. They have therefore decided to solely heat their home with our kiln-dried firewood, or when they call us, they are now asking for a lot more logs to be delivered to their home, than before.

Our firewood has always been in strong demand among our customers, however we have seen a large increase in how much our customers are buying, where many homeowners have now opened up their fireplaces, to start burning our firewood.

Our customers simply therefore are purchasing our logs in a greater quantity, when compared to what they purchased from us before, and many of our customers say this is to reduce their dependency on using their central heating systems.

Why so many homeowners purchase their firewood from us

It’s fair to say that there are now a lot of firewood suppliers based right across South Wales, this might range from an independent shop, selling a few net bags of logs outside the business premises.

It can then range right up to large suppliers of firewood, such as us, that can supply huge quantities of logs to both businesses and also customers in South Wales.

Many customers purchase their firewood from us for one simple reason, that is, we can offer a consistent supply of high-quality logs.

It can be massively disappointing, from a customers perspective, when you purchase firewood from a supplier, and it does not produce a good heat- because it is not been kiln-dried or seasoned.

This is what is often referred to as “wet wood”, and should most definitely be avoided, because this type of firewood, is not dried, so can actually damage the chimney lining, and also the wood-burning stove itself.

Therefore, when you are choosing a firewood supplier here in South Wales, make sure you choose one that offers you the right type of logs, and that they have been dried either through seasoning for the correct length of time, or that type of wood has been kiln-dried.

Can you deliver firewood / logs in South Wales?

Yes, the vast majority of our logs are delivered direct to customers. We therefore offer a delivery service, to both commercial businesses, and also our residential customers.

What is kiln-dried firewood ?

Kiln-dried firewood, is when the logs, which might have just been freshly cut, are put into a kiln for a period of time, this is to reduce the moisture content of the wood.

The logs should then be checked after coming out of the kiln, to make sure that the moisture content is reduced- a moisture meter should be used to check this.

This will then mean that either the logs are ready for burning, or that they need to be placed back into the kiln, to further reduce the moisture of the wood.

Wet wood can hold a vast quantity of water, therefore in order to dry the logs out, they need to be “kiln-dried” or seasoned for a correct period of time.

Can you deliver a large quantity of firewood to us in South Wales?

Yes, we have multiple tipper vans which can deliver to you, we can therefore deliver firewood anywhere within South Wales. The vast majority of our kiln-dried firewood is delivered within Newport, as well as Cardiff.

Introduction

At the current time of writing, there is a lot of conversation about gas price increases both locally, and also internationally. In matter-of-fact at this moment, a lot of people are concerned about the spike in costs for energy in general, not just gas.

Therefore when we talk to our customers, they often tell us that they have either opened up their old fireplace within their home, or decided to have a wood burner installed within their home.

For some customers they may have had a wood burner for a long period of time in their home, it’s just now that they’ve made the decision to switch to using the stove is the main way of heating their property.

However, it does go without saying, the more you use your wood-burning stove, the more you’re going to need a regular supplier of logs. So you might live in Cardiff, and now looking for a “kiln-dried log company”- and that’s where, we here at Forestry Firewood can help.

That’s to say ,it’s often inconvenient, to have to keep driving to a supplier of firewood and stocking up on say net bags of logs.

Plus, you might not have the time to do this yourself, and, you may want much more firewood delivered right to your house in just one delivery, saving you hassle of having to carry, and buy logs from a shop yourself.

Therefore, we can arrange a time where we can deliver the logs to you at your property in a large quantity.

Logs Cardiff

We kiln-dry all of our logs at our company premises here in South Wales, we then throughout the working week, deliver our logs right throughout the city of Cardiff.

We supply to many commercial premises, as well as many homeowners, and we have seen a large surge in demand where people are choosing to heat their homes through solid fuels, such as our logs, and this is where we can supply you with a high-quality product.

Are your logs kiln-dried?

Yes, all of our logs are all kiln-dried, which simply means, for those that do not know, we dry the wood to such a temperature, so that moisture content of the logs is greatly reduced.

This is obviously needed to produce a much hotter burn, once the logs are put into your wood-burning stove, or in an open fire.

The mistake that some people make, is that they purchase “wet wood”, this should not be purchased, because it can actually damage your chimney, the wood-burning stove itself can also become damaged, and this type of firewood can produce a lot of smoke.

Wet wood should therefore be avoided, because of the damage it can do to your stove and chimney, not to mention that it will produce a dull burn, which means that you won’t have much heat from the wood itself.

Therefore what you need instead is a high-quality kiln dried log, and that’s exactly what we can deliver to you.

We don’t just deliver in the winter months

During the the winter months, and sometimes during the autumn as well, a lot of tree surgeons will start selling off they logs, that they might have seasoned the wood in say an open barn.

However, there are a lot of properties that now need firewood throughout the whole year, for example, you might own a pub or restaurant, and still want to heat the place using fire wood during a colder night in the spring or the summer.

Also, homeowners might use the logs within their home during the spring or summer, but also within the garden, for example inside the pizza oven, fire-pit all even to heat a hot tub.

We have multiple business locations throughout South Wales, can you deliver logs to all of these as well?

Sometimes a business owner will have multiple locations, for example multiple restaurants located throughout South Wales, we can supply all of these with our quality logs.

Therefore, at the current time of writing (March 2022), because gas prices have increased by a lot recently, some chains of pubs, and are now heating their premises through our logs. Therefore if you would like logs delivered to your business, then why not give us a call?

We burn a lot of firewood every single week, are you able to supply us on a regular basis with kiln dried logs?
