Introduction

 

The nights are getting much colder, so many homeowners across South Wales now need high-performance firewood to help heat their homes.

With high natural gas prices still high, many homeowners currently depend on solid fuels to heat their homes.

This article explains why we are the company to choose when you need high-performance firewood delivered to your home in Wales.

 

An ample quantity of logs delivered at a fair price

Do you think firewood is expensive?

Some firewood suppliers are expensive; buying firewood only in small plastic bags can sometimes be expensive way of purchasing your firewood.

However, you could have a large load of logs delivered to your home when you call us. Plus our prices are very affordable.

We can deliver a vast quantity of firewood at once; our high-performance logs mean you will gain a large amount of firewood at a very reasonable price.

 

What type of logs do you sell?

Many homeowners want two main types of logs delivered in the United Kingdom: oak and ash firewood.

We regularly have many of these types of logs in stock and other firewood varieties of logs as well.

 

How do you ensure that you are not selling wet firewood?

 

The firewood needs to be dry before it can be burnt, and as logs will have come from a living tree, the timber is used to sucking up water from the ground for potentially decades.

Now, depending on the variety of timber, it can take a different amount of time for the wood to reduce its water content. One way of reducing the water content of firewood is to dry the firewood by seasoning it, often done in a large corrugated iron barn.

The alternative is the kiln drying the firewood, which means placing the logs in a small enclosed space and blasting the logs with heat for a sustained period of time.

 

kiln-drying firewood

Therefore, firewood is placed in the kiln, often for many consecutive days, and is subject to scorching temperatures, reducing the moisture content of the logs substantially.

You might see a slight rippling effect or crackling on the side of the logs that have been subjected to very high temperatures and which have been kiln-dried.

 

Our firewood is kiln-dried and moisture-checked with digital moisture meters to ensure its good quality and ready for shipment to our customers.

This quality control process gives you peace of mind about the firewood you’re purchasing from us in that it’s ready to burn as soon as it’s delivered.

Introduction

It’s that time of year again, where even when we pop along to the local supermarket, the is filled with Christmas items.

Some people complain that it’s too early to think about Christmas, while others think that it’s a great time of the year in the build-up to Christmas Day.

 

Why you should order your logs today

Firewood is in significant demand across Wales as more homeowners are burning logs as their main way of heating their homes.

However, those of us who have owned a wood burner for an extended period of time will know that there are logs, and then their logs- so what do we mean by that statement?

Some logs, like those you can source from Forestry Firewood Ltd, are of excellent quality. They burn bright and produce a fantastic amount of heat.

On the other hand, there are rubbish-quality logs supplied by some companies, and the wood is still wet. This means that it’s extremely hard to ignite, and when lit, it produces excessive amounts of smoke and soot, which will eventually clog up the wood-burning stove and the chimney.

This is why so many of our customers return yearly: We offer a consistent supply of high-quality firewood. You know that when you purchase from us, the firewood is ready to burn, and it’s a type of wood, such as ash or oak, that is superb for burning in, say, a wood-burning stove.

 

Stock up now for Christmas

Many homeowners in Cardiff, Newport, and all of the surrounding areas use their wood-burning stoves more often during the Christmas period.

Therefore, you will likely want ample firewood stacked up in your wood store, ready to burn over Christmas.

It costs less than you might think

Some firewood suppliers charge a lot more than we do. However, we have always kept our prices down because this allows our customers to buy in quantity, as many of our customers use their wood-burning stoves to warm their homes.

Because our prices have always been kept low, our customers can buy a considerable amount of firewood, sometimes a full van load, at a very fair price.

 

Stock up on your firewood today from us:

If you would like to arrange a time when we can come and deliver a load of ash or perhaps oak, or you might want a different type of wood, we can help you.

Introduction

Here in the United Kingdom, homeowners often purchase two main types of logs.

Those two varieties of wood are oak logs and ash logs. Here at Forestry Firewood, we can supply both types of firewood to your home.

Then, a firewood company has two main ways of reducing the moisture content of logs: seasoning the wood, often in an open barn, or kiln-drying the firewood.

All of our firewood is kiln-dried; in this article, we will explain the benefits of this process.

 

Suitable for use in wood stoves, outdoor fire pits and open fires

A huge range of benefits to choosing kiln-dried firewood is that a company can produce consistent quality firewood.
For example, firewood companies that frequently kiln-dry logs, such as ash firewood, will know how long they need to keep the wood in their kiln.

The time it takes to dry the wood through the kiln drying process depends on the kiln size, the way the company generates the heat, and the type of wood.

We use a bio-mass boiler in our purpose-built kiln.

 

Reducing the moisture

Therefore, kiln-drying logs, whether ask, oak, or any variety of logs, are a perfect way of reducing their moisture content. It allows companies like Forestry Firewood to produce a consistent quality product because they can bake the logs for an extended period, ensuring the moisture content of the logs is significantly reduced.

So, what are the main benefits of purchasing kiln-dried firewood from you:

 

Lower moisture content

The last thing you want to do is try to burn green wood. The reason is that it will massively damage your stove and chimney by causing excessive soot. So we sell kiln-dried firewood instead, which has been dried and had the moisture reduced so that it’s ready to burn.

 

Easier to ignite

Our logs are much simpler to ignite. The reason for this is that by reducing the moisture content of the logs, they are ready to burn. With just a small amount of softwood kindling and fire lighters, you can have your fire up and running in seconds.

As many wood-burning stove owners will know, it can be extremely frustrating if the wood has a high moisture content. It then produces excessive amounts of smoke, damaging the stove and chimney, and it also takes a very long time to ignore the firewood.
This is why we sell only kiln-dried firewood that’s ready to burn.

 

Hotter burn

If you were to purchase wet wood, it would produce a lot of smoke but also a dull burn. The wood may take a long time to burn, and it will not burn that bright, meaning not much heat is generated.

Our kiln-dried logs are entirely different. They produce a fantastic amount of heat, so some customers have switched to using our logs as the only way they heat their homes.

 

Would you like to have our logs delivered?

If you want quality, kiln-dried, top-quality logs delivered to your home or place of business, if you run a pub or restaurant, then why not call us?

 

Introduction

Many homeowners across the country may have had a log burner in their living room for some time.

The log burner might have been used, say, over the Christmas period, and this helps to improve the room’s ambience.

Yet, in recent years, natural gas prices have spiked, and people’s energy bills have increased as a direct result. This means more and more people are looking for ways to heat their homes and improve their homes’ energy efficiency.

In this article, we will concentrate on recommending the two main types of logs that you should purchase for your wood-burning stove.

Kiln-dried firewood

So, a common mistake that homeowners can make is to think that as long as the wood is cut to the correct size and not soaking wet, it’s good to burn.

This is not the case, and we shall explain why.

When trees are cut down, the timber can be very wet inside. This moisture doesn’t evaporate quickly; it’s actually held in the wood for a very long period of time.

There are only two main ways to reduce the moisture content of timber logs: correctly season the firewood for a long period. How long the wood needs to season depends on the time of the logs.

Then there’s kiln-drying, blasting the logs with hot air, forcing the moisture to evaporate.

 

What type of firewood do you sell?

We sell kiln-dried firewood. The reason for this is that we have built our own kiln, which allows us to quality-control the wood at our business premises.

If the logs are not dry enough, they will not be delivered.

Therefore, all of our logs undergo an extensive drying process, which involves placing them in metal cages and then in a giant kiln for a long period of time. We open the doors on the kiln, use a moisture meter to check the moisture content, and if it’s below a certain threshold, we can sell the wood.

If the moisture content of the logs is too high, we simply return them to the kiln and bake them for even longer.

Just like pasty placed in the oven, our logs emerge from the kiln hot and baked, and the moisture has gone.

 

Cracking of the wood

A sure-fire way of seeing that the logs have been subjected to a very high temperature for an extended period is that the logs will be cracked.

These deep cracks appear along the logs, showing that they have been baked for a long time in our ovens.

 

Would you like to purchase quality logs?

Our order books are quickly filling up for our deliveries this year. So why not give us a ring today? We can dispatch our quality logs to you at a convenient time.

 

 

 

 

Introduction

Every single autumn and winter there is a variety of firewood that is always in strong demand, and that is ash firewood.

The benefits of burning ash firewood are clear: it burns brilliantly and produces absolute superb heat, whether it is burnt in open fire or enclosed within a wood-burning stove.

Our commitment to quality and reliability sets our firewood apart for some of our direct competitors, making it the preferred choice for many of our customers in Wales. We ensure that every batch of firewood is perfectly dried before it leaves our yard, guaranteeing our customers a consistent and high-quality burn.

As with all varieties of firewood, how well the logs burn depends entirely on how well seasoned the firewood is and whether it has been sufficiently dried to what is called the “kiln drying process”. This process, which involves a controlled and gradual reduction of moisture within the logs, ensures that the firewood retains its quality and burns efficiently for the customer.

For those unfamiliar with the term, “kiln-dried logs”, it means the wood has been placed in a large oven-like structure. This process, involving heat and ventilation, which significantly reduces the logs’ moisture content, making the logs ideal for burning.

However, even though firewood can be kiln-dried, how well it has been dried varies depending on the company you purchase from.
You can be rest assured when you choose us; we take pride and care in the production of our firewood.
Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring it’s sufficiently dried for long enough before it leaves the yard.

There are occasions when the firewood comes out of the kiln and sometimes needs to be put back into the kiln to reduce the moisture content futher. This is a part of our quality control process, ensuring the firewood is perfectly dried before it leaves our yard.

Therefore, you can be assured that all of the ash firewood you purchase from us has been kiln-dried for long enough, which means they can be burnt straightaway.

 

Is, therefore, your wood ready to burn?

 

Yes, it most certainly is. Some firewood requires further seasoning when purchased from another company.
However, purchasing “wet wood” this then takes up a lot of space in a garden or a garage, so many homeowners understandably do not want to purchase wet wood that needs seasoning.

Our firewood is entirely different and is ready to burn.
Therefore, as soon as it is delivered and tipped off the back of our van, it can be burnt straightaway.
This eliminates the need for further seasoning, saving you space and time.

 

Why is ash such a popular firewood?

 

You often find that when people buy firewood, they burn logs in their homes for a long period of time. For example, a homeowner might have burnt firewood in their home for let’s say, the last ten years.

A lot of customers will know that different types of firewood can burn differently depending on the wood type. Some firewood can burn very slowly and produce a rather dull brown.

Other types of softwood can burn bright and extremely hot, but they burn very fast.

Then you have other firewood varieties, which can burn for a long period of time, produce very hot heat, and are, therefore be absolutely perfect for heating a home.

Therefore, many people insist on having ash firewood delivered to their homes because it offers the best of both worlds in terms of burning for a long period of time, burning brightly, and producing a very intense heat.
This makes it an ideal choice for heating your home efficiently and effectively.

 

Can you also offer to supply kindling to help get the fire started?

 

Yes, we have recently started selling kindling as well. Therefore when you place an order with us to get your ash firewood delivered to your house, you can also get some kindling delivered as well.

 

Would you like to place an order with us to get ash firewood delivered?

 

We deliver our ash logs throughout South Wales, often throughout Cardiff, Newport, and surrounding areas.
If you want to place an order with us, please get in touch with us today.
Please place your order well before you would like to take delivery because we can get very busy delivering our quality firewood in the run-up to Christmas.

 

 

Welcome to forestry firewood

Here at Forestry Firewood, we specialise in retailing high-quality kiln-dried firewood and also kindling.

We have extensive experience in drying and selling firewood and are now an established business here in South Wales.
We go the extra mile to offer top levels of customer service to everyone of our customers. We shall explain later in this article, how all of the firewood that we sell is sustainably sourced from very carefully managed forests.

 

Our firewood is ready to burn

 

We understand what customers want is a supply of consistently high-quality firewood. While some companies might resell firewood in a hit-and-miss in terms of it being dry, we are entirely different firewood company in that we mae sure that all the firewood we sell is “ready to burn”.
Therefore, we always ensure that our firewood is rigorously tested before it is delivered to the customer.
We use quality and accurate moisture meters to ensure the customer receives firewood that is ready to burn.

 

Large investment in log cutting equipment

 

We have heavily invested in firewood processors and quality kilns, which means that we can ensure the quality of our logs are consistently high. From the cutting to the drying to the delivery to the customer, we ensure that we deliver a high-quality product.

 

Carefully managed forests

 

Many customers will understandably want the reassurance and guarantee that our timber comes from carefully managed forests. Our firewood is sustainably sourced, and we buy from the Forestry Commission.

 

Well stocked

 

People who have used a wood-burning stove for an extended period will often know precisely the variety of timber they wish to purchase. For example, here in the United Kingdom, two varieties of firewood are very popular with customers: that’s our oak logs and ash firewood.
We work hard throughout the entire year to keep our warehouse well stocked, full of this quality firewood. So when the weather starts to get rather cold and a bit nippy, you can rest assured that we hold ample firewood at our warehouse.

Therefore, we can deliver to you at a time that’s convenient, perhaps you would like a whole vanload of ash, or maybe you would prefer an entire load of oak logs delivered? We are here to help.

 

Why not arrange for the delivery to be made today?

 

Many customers are making the switch from occasionally using their log-burning stove say on the odd day or two a week during the winter to now using there log burners on a daily basis. Therefore, buying firewood in small plastic bags at the supermarket is often inconvenient, as the customer need to keep replenishing their firewood by visiting the local shop.

This is when many homeowners are making the switch to our business simply because we can deliver a huge amount of firewood to your doorstep all in one go. You might want, for example, a whole vanload delivered to your property. We can do this, and we can then replenish the logs as often as you need them.

Then why not call us today?

Our very friendly and highly knowledgeable staff will be able to tell you about the variety of timber that we have in stock at the moment and when the earliest dates that we can come out and be delivered directly to you.

 

 

 

 

Introduction

You might think, well, wood is wood-it can all be burnt, right?

Well, to an extent, because some firewood burns better than others. Some firewood produces intense heat for an extended period; others can create a dull burn or burn so fast it can feel like you’re feeding a locomotive engine with fuel, the amount of time you have to add wood to your wood burner.

 

So, this begs the question, which firewood is best for burning?

Well, different firewood companies will answer the question differently. However, the best firewood for burning is ash and oak logs. We shall explain why in greater detail within this article.

 

Ash

Ashwood produces an unbelievable amount of heat. When the wood burns, the ambers glow so hot that they can look like hot coal. Therefore, this type of wood is ideally suited for burning in wood-burning stoves and open fires.

However, as with all wood you burn at home, it should be seasoned or put in a kiln. The moisture content needs to be low so the wood can be burnt and produce the maximum heat.

 

Beech

Another prevalent type of firewood is beech, which produces fantastic heat and burns for an extended period. This firewood is excellent for open fires and wood-burning stoves.

 

Oak

Now, oak is very dense, heavy, and excellent firewood. Homeowners often request oak firewood for burning simply because it’s very thick. Therefore, it burns for such a long period that the customer doesn’t need to keep adding wood as often when compared to, say, a type of softwood log.

 

Ready to burn

What is essential, regardless of which type of firewood you buy, is that it is “ready to burn”— the moisture content needs to be significantly reduced through seasoning or kiln-drying. Here at Forestry Firewood Ltd, we prefer to kiln-dry the wood; we then use a moisture meter on every batch of firewood we produce to ensure that every batch of logs we make is ready to burn.

 

Large quantities available at affordable prices

Regardless of which type of firewood you buy, you will want ample logs to burn. Here, we offer Forestry

Firewood large quantities of firewood at very affordable and competitive prices.

Plus, our vans are busy delivering firewood throughout the year. Businesses such as wood-fired pizza companies need a regular supply of firewood. Plus, many homeowners have firepits even during the summer. Therefore, if you are looking for a local firewood supplier that can deliver throughout the year, contact us, as we have many logs for sale.

 

We own our kiln

Some firewood companies are simply resellers of firewood produced by another business. Therefore, they may be unable to dry their own wood in a kiln, making it much harder to ensure that the customer gets a consistent supply of ready-to-burn logs.

Our company is very different in this regard. We have built our large kiln on our farm. The kiln is made to dry various logs of multiple lengths. This ensures that all logs delivered to our customers are ready to burn.

 

Why not call today?

If you would like to arrange for us to deliver our very high-quality logs to you, then why not call us?

Introduction

 

So, firewood is all the same, right?

Well, not exactly; that’s because there are hundreds of varieties of different timbers. Some are perfect for burning in a wood-burning stove, and some are not.

Then you have to ask the question, is the wood dry? Has it been kiln-dried and or seasoned?

If so, what’s the moisture content?

Is your wood dry and ready to burn?

So, many people are shopping on Google to find “dry firewood” suppliers. This is because they do not know the terminology to describe sound quality, ready-to-burn firewood. The firewood can either be seasoned or placed in a dry, open barn for a long period of time.

However, the method of drying the wood that most customers want is to purchase “kiln-dried” firewood. That’s because the wood has had its moisture greatly reduced by being blasted with hot air in what is essentially a giant oven.

You may own an air fryer at home. This works by a heating element blasting hot air around a small space. This is the same concept we use with our giant kiln. The hot air blasts the wood, the steam escapes, and what’s left at the end is timber that’s ready to burn.
But I see some cheap prices for wet wood, why should we buy this?

Well, this is where a lot of customers think, “I will season the wood myself.” However, you have to think: Do you have the space and amount of time to wait for the wood to season correctly?

For some varieties of wood, the timber has to be stored for over 12 months in a dry place. Now, most homeowners don’t want a chunk of their garden taken up by logs drying.

So, in our view, wet wood is a false economy. Sure, it might be cheaper, but then you have to season it and store it for often a long period of time before it’s ready to burn. Then, you must use your moisture meter to ensure it’s ready to burn.

 

We only sell ready-to-burn logs

 

So, when people are looking for “dry logs” on Google, what they really want are logs that are “ready to burn.” Our logs are just that; they can be put straight in your wood-burning stove as soon as they are delivered to you.

So, you do not have to wait to use the logs; you can burn them immediately.

 

How do we arrange for delivery?

Lead times, in terms of how quickly we can get the logs to you, very much depend on the time of the year. In the run-up to December, which is often our coldest period here in the United Kingdom, as you can imagine, this is normally our busiest period.

Yet we also deliver during the summer, so why not call us? Then, we will be able to book you into our diary so that we can get our logs despatched to you as soon as we can.

 

Call us today:

We can tell you what logs we have in stock, plus how soon we can get to you. Every year, we see tremendous repeat business because our logs are of such high quality. So, if you are looking for a local firewood supplier, look no further than Forestry Firewood Ltd:

 

Things to consider when choosing a firewood supplier

Introduction

You might think that all firewood is the same?

It’s certainly not; some firewood can burn with intense heat, and other firewood can produce a dull burn and cause problems with your homes chimney lining. That’s because wet wood, if burnt can actually produce a lot of soot, which starts to block the chimney.

The quality of the timber/logs therefore, often comes down to how well it is or how well it has been dried.
Then there’s the variety of the timber, you have softwood and you have hardwood, but even then, different varieties of wood which burn differently.

Firewood experts will tell you that some types of wood can produce intense heat and a crackle and pop as it burns in the fireplace.

Some other firewood, such as hardwood oak, is often requested simply because the customer doesn’t have to keep adding firewood to a wood-burning stove as much, because it burns for longer.

 

We would recommend purchasing kiln-dried and “ready to burn” firewood

There is often an ample number of companies that are willing to sell firewood cheaply, but that’s often because it just comes from trees that have been freshly cut. The problem with that is that wood is often not ready to burn because it may not be seasoned, and may not be kiln-dried, meaning its wet wood.

Freshly cut timber will contain and retain a huge amount of moisture, it may burn, but it will burn and produce a lot of soot and smoke, which can also cause massive amounts of damage to your wood burning stove or chimney.

So, for all intents and purposes, wet wood s a total false economy, it might be cheaper to purchase, but should most definitely be avoided because of the damage it causes to wood burning stoves, your chimney and the environment because of the excessive smoke it produces.

 

 

How long have you got to wait for delivery?

Customers like to have a real fire burning away, let’s say during the Christmas festivities. However, because December and November are such busy months for most firewood suppliers, you might struggle to find a firewood supplier that can deliver during that period.

This is why we recommend choosing a firewood company that can offer delivery times that suit you but that also keeps a huge amount of logs in stock. Thankfully here at Forestry Firewood Ltd, we have a massive amount of logs in stock, that’s because we are cutting, processing and drying logs all year around, not just during the winter.

 

Can you deliver to our house logs every month?

What is important is if you can hire a firewood delivery company that can deliver firewood on a regular basis. A lot of households now consume a lot of firewood every month, often because this is the primary way to heat to their homes.

However, as we all know, many households have very busy jobs, so they often haven’t time to call a firewood delivery company when their log store is running low. Therefore, companies like to set up routine deliveries of firewood, say, once a month.

Our company can offer this, so when you know that your firewood is starting to run low around a certain point every month, we could deliver some quality firewood to your house for you.
