Loose volume refers to the space taken up by logs when they are loosely loaded or poured into a container – this is the UK industry and legal standard. Stacked volume is what you’ll see when the logs are neatly stacked at home. Stacked volume is typically more than a third less than loose volume and gives you a clearer idea of the space your logs will take up once unpacked from the crate.

Choosing the right firewood depends on your heating needs and preferences.

Kiln Dried Ash: Known as the ‘King of Firewood’, Ash offers an excellent balance of heat output, burn duration, and ease of use - making it a great all-round option for wood burners, stoves, fireplaces, firepits, chimineas, and campfires. If you’re unsure which firewood to choose, ash is a reliable choice for consistent results every time.

Kiln Dried Birch: Birch is known for being extremely quick and easy to light and producing a bright, lively flame. While it has a shorter burn time than other hardwoods, it is perfect when you need fast warmth or a quick fire.

Kiln Dried Oak: Oak logs deliver exceptional, long-lasting heat with a classic, low-rolling flame. It is harder to light than other hardwoods, but rewards patience with exceptional burn duration and minimal sparking. Oak is perfect for larger stoves, open fires, firepits, or overnight burns.

Our Kiln Dried Premium Hardwood Firewood combines the best of all worlds. It lights easily, and delivers a steady, long-lasting burn with excellent heat output. Our premium hardwood logs are debarked for cleaner handling and reduced ash - perfect a range of indoor and outdoor use, including wood burners, stoves, chimineas, firepits and pizza ovens.
