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.

Introduction

During our rather long and hot summers, most households welcome the fact that they don’t have to worry about heating their homes and paying the associated heating bills.

Therefore, they can switch their attention to more enjoyable things, like taking care of the garden, drinking cold beer or having a refreshing ice cream.

But what if we were to say it’s always a good idea to get your log store stocked up fully at this time of year, and here are the reasons why:

More delivery slots

During the winter, or the start of the colder weather, well, this is when the calls flood in from homeowners wanting firewood delivered right across Wales.

However, what this means is sometimes there’s a slight delay between when we can get out and deliver, say, our rather fantastic oak or ash logs to you during our busier trading periods.

However, if you were to call us in the summer months, we often can deliver that day or in a few days’ time.

More availability

Some firewood suppliers can actually run out of wood during the winter months.

This means a delay in deliveries, or simply that they cannot replenish their stock.

Therefore, sometimes, during the peak of winter, say the build up to Christmas, well, sometimes it can be hard work in some areas to find a firewood supplier that has logs in stock!

Cheaper to buy

We, like most firewood companies, can offer a discount during the summer. This means that you can save money and purchase more firewood if you want to. Therefore, it just makes perfect sense to purchase during the summer months.

The reasons that firewood companies do this are that they simply want to sell firewood throughout the whole year. Therefore, you can often find many firewood suppliers that can offer, sometimes substantial discounts, during the summer months.

How we can help:

We can deliver quality logs, such as ash or oak firewood, right throughout the entire year.

We are known for offering fantastic quality firewood. This wood is of excellent quality and can be delivered to your home.

We keep different varieties of firewood in stock; popular options with our customers in Cardiff include ash, as well as oak and cherry wood.

We can also deliver in large quantities; therefore, if you own a larger property, our firewood offers a great way to heat your home at a very affordable price.

Why not call us today?

If you would like to get your firewood ready for next winter, why not call one of the team? We are frequently making regular deliveries throughout the city of Cardiff, as well as throughout the city where we are based, which is the city of Newport.

Tell me more. What are kiln-dried logs?

When purchasing logs to heat your home during the autumn and winter months, it’s important to purchase seasoned or kiln-dried logs.

When trees are cut down, say, for say forestry management purposes, the logs, depending on their species, can still hold a large amount of water beneath the bark.

The logs may appear dry from the outside; they may look like the normal logs when you chuck them onto the fire.
However, well beyond the bark, the wood could be water-saturated. Now, it’s fair to say that different types of wood burn better than other varieties of wood. The reason is that timber, such as Ash, has a lower moisture content than say pine.

However, as a general rule, you don’t want to burn the wood straight after the tree has been cut down. Instead, the wood needs to be dried.

Wet wood can cause a range of problems; firstly, it can increase the amount of smoke from the chimney. Your neighbours, for one, won’t be happy if you’re burning wet wood that’s constantly causing excessive smoke blowing all over the street!

Then there’s the wood-burning stove and chimney linings; both can be damaged if they’re clogged with large amounts of soot from burning wet wood.

Then there’s the level of heat generated; wet wood is simply a waste of time to burn. It produces very little heat, (produces a dull burn) and the fire may keep going out. For example, you might use firelighters to light the wood, then make dinner after work. When you return, the fire could have gone out if you use wet wood, and the wood-burning stove will be stone cold producing, well absolutely no heat output.

So, you need to invest in kiln-dried wood, because you need firewood that’s been adequately dried so it does what it is supposed to, heat the room.

Where can I purchase kiln-dried logs locally?

If you live in the fantastic cities of Cardiff, as well as the neighbouring city of Newport, South Wales then you can purchase as much firewood as you like from us.

We have a warehouse; from the roof to the floor, we keep a huge amount of firewood in stock so we can quickly dispatch it to our valued customers throughout both cities.

What’s great about choosing us is that we are an established business. We know our Oak from our beechwood.

We appreciate how the wood burns differently, how different woods “pop’s and crackles” like a bowl of Rice Krispies!

Plus, we also know how very dense wood such as English oak is well excellent for burning for long periods.

If you place a large lump of oak onto the fire, well, it could be burning away for in excess of an hour sometimes.

What are the other advantages of burning kiln-dried logs?

Well, there are many different types of kiln-dried logs to pick from; if they have been dried as much as possible, then the heat produced from kiln-dried firewood can be intense. It can go from feeling like a cold, bleak winter time in a living room to so warm you might even feel you have been transported on your holidays!

Our firewood produces incredible, rather fantastic heat; every year, our phones are busy.

Can we purchase in a large quantity- we have a large house?

You most certainly can. If you have, say, a large detached house, all exterior walls will get cold in winter, requiring large amounts of firewood to keep the home nice and warm. Whether you have a Victorian home with a large open fireplace or a brand-new house with one of those designer, freestanding stoves, we have an ample amount of firewood for you.

Would you say that kiln-dried logs are better than seasoned logs?

This depends on the seasoned wood; if properly seasoned, it can burn very well. Kiln-dried wood can also burn superbly if properly dried.

What it all boils down to is quite simply, how dry is the wood when you receive it?

If the firewood company uses a moisture meter to measure the moisture content within the logs, they can control moisture levels. If it’s too wet, for example, the logs can be returned to the kiln for further baking.

If the moisture content of the wood is important, how do you ensure your logs are dry?

We use a moisture meter; therefore, if the logs have been stored for a long time, they may have reabsorbed moisture from wet, damp conditions we have here in the U.K.

So, even if the wood has been in a kiln, baking away for, say, a week, it’s possible that, over time, the logs reabsorb moisture from the atomosphere, and you’re back to square one!

So, a good firewood supplier will place prongs into the logs and measure its moisture content.

This is a bit like how an electrician would use a multimeter to check the current running through a wire.
