Firewood

Opinions often vary on the use of Alder as a firewood. We are positive, however, that it’s a quick-burning, fragrant wood. It also makes for great kindling. However, before considering whether to add some Alder logs to your firewood stack, you might want to consider the properties of the tree and what that means for Alder as a solid fuel.

You might burn a fair few logs in your wood burner or stove, but how much do you know about the trees they come from? In this post (which will hopefully turn into a short series), we aim to get you better acquainted with the humble ash tree.

When buying firewood logs, it's always important to ensure that the wood you buy has been properly dried: a lower moisture content means that your firewood will burn consistently well with little smoke and won't blacken the glass of your stove door.

It’s always cheaper to buy your fuel in bulk, whether it’s coal, peat or firewood logs. If you’re running a stove, then there is no doubt you’ll get through a lot of whatever it is you’re burning. The question is, where do you store it?

An increasing number of our customers ask us about Eco Logs, specifically, Blazers Eco Logs. But what exactly are Eco Logs and what are their benefits (and shortcomings) over traditional logs?

You’ve probably seen the term “seasoned firewood”, and wondered what it’s all about. Do our staff nip out to the piles of wood and sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper? Thankfully not.

It’s a fact well-known to the bargain-hunter; buying in bulk is virtually guaranteed to save money. Delivery costs, packaging and administration are all reduced for the seller, and so they in turn pass that saving on to their customers. Less well-known to the buyer of firewood is that by buying your bulk wood unseasoned you can save even more.
