FAQS

As one of the UK’s pioneers and largest suppliers of kiln dried firewood, we have learnt what exactly constitutes ”top quality kiln dried logs”. Over the last 6 years, we have constantly looked for ways of improving the service and the product for our customers. We now genuinely believe that we provide the best service and kiln dried logs available in the UK.

 The drier the firewood, the higher the temperature. Seasoned, partially seasoned or green firewood burns at a correspondingly lower temperature than kiln dried.

The more moisture in the log, the more likely you are to get tarring and flue problems. Most stove manufacturers recommend the burning of truly seasoned firewood or kiln dried firewood in their stoves.

Many people still believe that you buy firewood by weight. This is a huge mistake as you are paying for water which is considerably cheaper from your tap! Only buy in volume.

 The Real Firewood Company believes that the best firewood available in the UK is hornbeam, oak and birch.  Many other companies will offer kiln dried hardwood but beware, this usually means they are selling inferior hardwood species such as poplar and aspen. Always ask what species are being used for the logs.

Your firewood should be kept with a waterproof cover to the top of the stack but with open sides and raised off the ground. Our 1m3 and 2m3 pallets are ready-made log stores requiring only a waterproof cover top and they are FREE. Alternatively, you can store your delivered fuelwood in a well-ventilated shed or garage.

Unfortunately, we cannot uplift your old pallets. However, as these are made from untreated timber, they make a great source of kindling for your next pallet of firewood.
