Firewood Logs
About our Firewood Logs
Suitable incoming tree waste is processed into firewood logs, which we sell retail. The logs are made from a variety of hardwoods, and some Scotʼs Pine, and stored under cover. The logs are in random lengths up to 33 cm (13 inches). If you need shorter logs, please specify when ordering.
Logs are offered in two grades ʻseasonedʼ and ʻunseasonedʼ. In October 2013 we installed a Lauber drying system (www.lauber-holztrockner.de) which is powered by a biomass boiler. This enables us to be confident that the seasoned logs are < 25% moisture, and the unseasoned < 50%, even at the end of the winter. If you have an enclosed log burning stove you need seasoned grade logs, while unseasoned are suitable for most open fires. Our seasoned logs could accurately be described as Kiln Dried or Force Dried.
Customers in receipt of Renewable Heat Initiative (RHI) payments need to obtain their fuel supplies from sources listed on the official Biomass Suppliers List (BSL). We have been approved and audited and gained a place on the BSL. Our authorisation numbers are 6841 – 0003 for unseasoned and 6841 – 0004 for seasoned (force dried) logs. To be authorised we needed to meet a lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target of 34.8g CO2. Our rating is 5.1.
Delivery
Delivery is included within 15 miles of Odiham, and is available 6 days a week, using our Suzuki Carry pickup. Each delivery includes a free bag of kindling, which will have been dried. For your peace of mind we offer ʻtailboard rejectionʼ; you can inspect the load before it is unloaded, and if you are not happy with it, weʼll take it away again, for no charge.
In addition to our venerable Suzuki Carry pick-up, we now have a Fiat Doblo Workup. The Doblo has exactly double the capacity of the Suzuki. This gives us the possibility to deliver two loads in one journey, and to offer a discount on ‘double’ loads.
