Frequently Asked Questions

1. Logs will vary in shape and size but generally our seasoned logs are between 20 to 35cm in length and fit in standard log burners however this can vary. We would recommend either buying a net sack to start and check or pop down to our shop and have a look in person.

2. We also sell Kiln Dried Firewood; these logs are very uniformed in shape and size and generally are slightly smaller than our seasoned logs due to the way they have been processed and stripped of bark. They generally sit between 15 to 25cm.

1. The clue is in the name - Kiln Dried Wood is wood that has been force dried inside a kiln, whereas Seasoned Wood is wood that has been dried out naturally.

2. Kiln Drying can take as little as 1 week whereas natural seasoning can take anywhere from a few months to a year or so.

3. As Kiln Dried Logs have been force dried under controlled conditions the wood can generally be lower in moisture, but all wood sold should be below at least 20%.

4. For our seasoned wood we always aim for below 15% to be safe an, Kiln Dried often sits between 10 – 15%. So, the main difference is not necessarily the dryness and moisture level but how it is physically dried out.

1. Yes, we can make deliveries to allotments, if there is vehicle access.

2. If you have ordered a Bulk bag, we can crane this off our van and over low bearing fences or as close to the allotment as possible for you to then barrow the woodchip to your area.

3. The other option is to order in Barrow bags as these can be wheeled on a sack barrow trolley and we can generally take them directly to the allotment, within reason.

1. A Bulk bag is approx. a cubic meter of wood, if you have the space then it is always cost affective to buy in Bulk, these can be craned onto the drive or front garden.

2. Barrow bags are great for storage convenience, they fit on a sack barrow trolley and can be wheeled into the garden or garage
