Softwood logs are a popular choice for easily creating a quick fire that warms and radiates your room.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOFTWOOD AND HARDWOOD?
Our customers often wonder about the differences between softwood logs vs hardwood logs. The main difference is that softwood is less dense than hardwood and typically burns quicker. This means that it is easier to set alight, which is a major preference for some people. Whether you opt for softwood or hardwood really is down to a matter of personal preference. Some people only use softwood as it’s so easy to burn; however, others prefer the qualities of hardwood logs.
CAN YOU BURN SOFTWOOD IN A WOOD BURNER?
Softwood can be used in a wood burner. However, it does produce more resin, so it is recommended that you clean your chimney more frequently if you choose to use this type of fuel. You should also ensure that your softwood has been kiln dried to below 20 percent moisture, otherwise it will be difficult to burn in your wood burner. The other thing to be aware of is that softwood produces more smoke when it burns, which can make it more challenging for use in indoor burners.
WHAT BURNS BETTER – HARDWOOD OR SOFTWOOD?
Softwood logs are perfect for starting and building a fire quickly, making them great choices for many people. However, once alight, hardwood typically burns for longer, making this a popular choice for larger, outdoor fires. In terms of which one burns better, that depends on what you are looking for in a fire – quick and easy heat, or long-lasting burning powers.
Hardwood logs
Everyone loves the natural, homely glow of a multi-fuel stove as the temperature begins to drop. It's a great way to create a cosy atmosphere and to heat your home.

HOW DO HARDWOOD LOGS COMPARE TO SOFTWOOD LOGS?
Hardwood logs come from deciduous broadleaf trees such as oak or ash, which are slower growing than conifers, meaning the logs they produce are denser. This means they burn much more slowly, and as a result, are the best option for keeping your fire going for longer. Hardwood is denser than softwood, making it heavier. This means that a comparable weight of softwood takes up more room, without offering any extra burning time. Softwood contains more resin than hardwood meaning that it can be quick to ignite, making it an ideal choice for kindling but for logs that give off lots of heat and burn for any length of time, hardwood is a better choice.
ARE WOOD BRIQUETTES BETTER THAN LOGS?
