Follow the tips below to ensure you have an excellent store of logs and firewood to keep you warm.
- Stack your firewood outside where the air can circulate and keep the logs off moist ground, otherwise it will absorb moisture. Old pallets and treated fence posts make suitable foundations.
- If you decide to store your logs inside a garage or shed - ensure that there is a good circulation of air around the logs.
- Place the logs bark side down, bark can stop the moisture from evaporating and the risk from mould will increase.
- Put the top logs with the bark side up - they will help act as tiles to improve any rainwater to run off.
- Try and create some form of roof over the logs.
- Don't cover the sides of the log pile, this will prevent air circulation and proper drying
- Keep your log pile near the house for convenience
Seasoned logs give best results
Rapidly increasing fuel prices have resulted in massive increases in firewood sales over the past few years and as a result poor quality un-seasoned soft firewoods are flooding the market to satisfy demand. By purchasing these inferior products your firewood supplies will diminish rapidly and more of your valuable heat will be lost driving off moisture from damp logs. It is also critical that good quality timber is used to prevent a build up of tar and soot in chimneys and flues.

Why use seasoned hardwood logs in Nottingham?
Logs as a source of energy are environmentally friendly, using them results in virtually no 'fossil' carbon dioxide being added to our present environment and thus helps minimise the effects of climate change compared to using gas, oil or coal.
Firewood is a renewable resource and using it today will not prevent our children and grandchildren from using firewood in the future.
