Log FAQs
We provide firewood logs in a range of sizes depending on the product:
8″ and 10″ Options: Kiln Dried Hardwood or Kiln Dried Larch
8″, 10″, 12″ and 14″: Semi-Seasoned Larch
We now only supply Ready to Burn logs at a moisture content less than 20%.
Basically in a purpose built covered Log Store with a good throughput of air.
This would suffice very much in the short term but not for a long term solution.
They will continue to dry albeit very slowly, but ideally should be kept in a store where they will dry much better with a throughput of air.
This is very dependent on the time of year and where the Logs are stored, but 8-12 weeks is the guide.
Larch is a softwood, but one of the best. The biggest advantage of larch over virtually any other timber is that it dries so quickly. It also dries down to a lower moisture content than any wood. This makes it an ideal firewood log for wood burners
The natural variation of timber means we are unable to give a number, but our measure is termed “2 cubic metres (loose)”
Yes, larch is a softwood, but one of the best. Because it dries so well, it burns with a hotter flame and so prevents the build-up of soot, creosote etc.
carbon footprint
By using a blend of “Point to Point” and “hub & spoke” pallet delivery companies, we minimise the carbon footprint by the companies involved shipping multiple pallets to their respective central “Hubs” then distributed to regional depots.
