5 Reasons You Should Buy Your Logs In The Summer

Preparing for the winter

Ordering a crate of firewood might not be the first thing on your mind when you're still wearing your shorts and complaining about the sweat dripping off your nose, but we think it's time to plan for the winter.

Receive your delivery while the sun is still shining - there's nothing worse than having to walk to and from your log shed on a cold, damp December morning.
Need more convincing? Here are five reasons to buy your firewood & logs now during the summer.

1. Lower Prices Before the Winter Rush

Wood fuel prices climb every year as the weather turns. Demand spikes, suppliers face higher storage costs, and those costs get passed straight on to you. Buy your kiln dried logs, briquettes and wood pellets in summer, while demand (and price) is at its lowest, and you'll dodge the autumn surge altogether.

2. Smoother, Faster Deliveries

Winter brings mud, ice and delayed deliveries. Order in summer and your firewood arrives quickly, without the weather-related hold-ups that hit courier networks every winter.

It's also considerably more pleasant to stack a crate of logs in the sunshine than in a downpour. All our firewood and briquettes are Ready to Burn certified and kiln dried to below 20% moisture, so your logs are ready the moment you need them, provided they're stored correctly. Read our How to Store Firewood guide to keep them dry all season.

3. First Pick of Our Best Firewood

By the time winter hits, our best-selling logs, like Kiln Dried Oak Firewood and Premium Hardwood, are in high demand and stock runs low.

Buy in summer and you get first pick of every species we stock, from the long, slow burn of Oak and Premium Hardwood to the quick-lighting convenience of Ash and Birch. Not sure which is right for your burner? Take a look at our Firewood Comparison guide.

4. Buy in Bulk and Be Winter-Ready

Ordering in bulk over summer means one delivery, one job done, and a fully stocked log store before the first frost. No last-minute scrambles, no shortages, no panic-buying, and bulk orders typically work out better value than topping up little and often through winter.

5. SPREAD THE COST WITH PAYPAL

A bulk firewood order is an investment, even when it saves you money long-term. Split your order into interest-free instalments with PayPal, and budget for winter heating without the upfront hit.
