Essential Firewood Buying Guide (FAQ)
Which firewood should I choose?
It depends on your heating needs and preferences. Here's a quick guide to our kiln dried range:
- Ash – the 'King of Firewood'. Easy to light with strong, steady heat. The best all-rounder if you're not sure.
- Birch – lights fastest with a bright, lively flame. Perfect for quick warmth, but burns a little quicker.
- Oak – dense and slow-burning with long-lasting heat. Ideal for larger stoves, open fires and overnight burns.
- Premium Hardwood – a debarked mix of dense hardwoods. Lights easily, burns long and leaves less mess.

What sizes of firewood crate can I order?
Choose from three crate sizes to match how often you burn and how much space you have:
Standard Crate:
- Stacked Volume: 0.6m³
- Loose Volume: 1.1m³
- Crate Dimensions: 0.82m (h) x 1.10m (w) x 0.85m (l)
Full Crate:
- Stacked Volume: 1.2m³

Max Crate:
Our largest option, ideal for high-usage households. Please note that this crate is very tall and heavy, and is delivered by 18-tonne vehicle. The unloading area must be flat, hard-standing (no grass, gravel or kerbs) and accessible.
- Stacked Volume: 2.00m³
- Loose Volume: 3.34m³
- Crate Dimensions: 2m (h) x 1.15m (w) x 1.08m (l)
Prefer smaller packs? Our Premium Kiln Dried Hardwood also comes on pallets of nets, bags and hessian sacks for easy handling.
What's the difference between loose and stacked volume?
Loose volume is the space taken logs take up when they are loosely loaded or tipped into a container – this is the UK industry and legal standard for selling firewood. Stacked volume is the space the same logs take up once neatly stacked at home, which is typically around 40% less than loose volume. Knowing both helps you compare value and plan your storage space.

What does Ready to Burn certified mean?
Ready to Burn is a UK government-backed certification for domestic wood fuel. Every log we sell carries it, which guarantees:
- Moisture content below 20%, so logs light easily and burn hotter
- No further seasoning needed – you can burn them the day they arrive
- Less smoke and fewer emissions, for cleaner air
- Compliance with UK regulations on domestic wood fuel

How does firewood delivery work?
Delivery is free on all non-surcharged orders to most of the UK, usually within 2–5 working days, and you can pick a delivery date at checkout (next-day is available for a small fee). Your order arrives on a pallet by tail-lift lorry and pallet truck.
You don't need to be in, but the drop-off point must be flat, hard-standing (no grass, gravel or kerbs) and reachable by a large vehicle.
