We've been selling kiln-dried logs at Westcombes for more than a year now, and we are completely converted.
When people have problems lighting fires and stoves, it's often a wood problem rather than a stove or fire problem, especially if they've been buying bags of logs from local garages. We know it's often convenient to pick up a bag when you're filling up with petrol, but the logs may have been sitting out in the rain and aren't always seasoned. When logs are cut they contain a surprising amount of water, and it can take up to two years for them to dry out properly.
It's harder to light damp wood, and the water means you get a smoky fire which produces more soot and tar. This is not only less efficient and less environmentally friendly, it can actually be dangerous - the soot and tar can clog the chimney, and that in turn can increase the risk of a chimney fire.
Our kiln-dried logs are sourced from sustainable British woodlands. They're produced by Certainly Wood who air dry them before putting them into a wood-fired kiln to get rid of excess moisture. We love them - and we're sure you will too!
We offer free local delivery on orders of ten bags of logs or more, and if you order twenty bags, we'll give you a free bag of logs too. We also stock kindling and natural firelighters - why not give them a try and see what you think.
