How dry are the logs?

They are seasoned rather than kiln dried, which means stacked under cover with air through them until the moisture is down. If you want to check, a moisture meter off the internet costs very little and reading a freshly split face is the honest test. Ask us what is currently ready and we will tell you straight rather than sell you this year's wood.

What species do you supply?

Whatever has come off the work. In this area that is mostly oak, ash and beech, with some birch and cherry. Ask when you order and we will tell you what is in the stack.

How far do you deliver?

Locally, around Cowden and the surrounding villages. Further out is worth asking about, especially if we are already working in that direction.

Can I keep the wood from my own tree?

Yes, and it is worth saying so when we quote rather than after the chipper is running. We will cut it to stove length and stack it where you want it.

Logs from the trees we take down.

Everything we fell has to go somewhere. The good hardwood gets rung, split and stacked to season rather than chipped.

What you get

Mostly oak, ash and beech, because that is what comes off the work we do around here.

Hardwood, seasoned rather than cut this week and sold tomorrow
Cut to a length that fits an ordinary stove, and split ready to burn
Loads sized to what you can actually store, not just what fills a truck
Delivered locally, tipped or stacked where you want it
Softwood and offcuts available for kindling and fire pits
Logs from your own tree cut and stacked instead of taken away, if you ask

Burning it well

Wet wood is the single most common reason a stove disappoints somebody.

Dry wood, properly

Freshly felled timber is around half water. Burning it wet gives you less heat, more smoke and a tarred flue.
Store it off the ground

Air round the stack and a cover over the top. A log pile sitting on soil under a tarpaulin stays wet all year.
Hardwood for heat

Oak, ash and beech burn slower and hotter. Ash is the one that forgives you if it has not had as long.
Softwood for lighting

Quick to catch and quick to burn. Good for getting going, poor for an evening.
Size the load to the store

A load you cannot stack properly will not dry, which undoes the point of buying seasoned.
Keep your own timber

If we are felling at yours and you burn wood, say so at the quote and it stays with you.

After a load of logs?

Tell us roughly how much you get through in a winter and where it would be stacked, and we will tell you what is ready.
