Colder weather is on the way
Across the UK so far, winter has yet to really make its presence felt, however that is all about to change...
The jet stream, those strong winds blowing from west to east around 5-7 miles above the UK typically have very cold air to the north (and warmer air to the south). During late November the jet stream is forecast to move much further south, enveloping the UK in considerably colder air and therefore; much colder weather.
Many people have already lit their log fires for the first time this winter,
Firewood, a source of warmth, light, and sustenance, has played a vital role in human history for thousands of years. From the earliest days of humanity to the modern era, the use of firewood has shaped our lives and influenced our development as a species. Join us on a captivating journey as we delve into the rich history of firewood and its significance throughout the ages.
The Dawn of Fire: The discovery of fire revolutionized human existence. Early humans harnessed the power of fire, unlocking a myriad of possibilities. Firewood became the fuel that sustained their newfound ability to cook food, stay warm, and protect themselves from predators. This momentous discovery marked a pivotal turning point in our evolution.
Ancient Firewood Practices: In ancient civilizations, firewood held deep cultural and practical significance. From the ancient Egyptians who used firewood for religious ceremonies and cooking, to the Greeks who employed it for warmth
The decision between ordering nets or crates of firewood depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are some factors to consider when making your choice:
On the other hand, crates of firewood are larger containers that hold a higher volume of wood. If you have ample space for storage and do not need to move the firewood frequently, crates can be a convenient option. They offer the advantage of requiring less frequent restocking and can be more cost-effective if you use a significant amount of firewood.
Quantity and Usage: Consider how much firewood
As the sun sets and warm summer evenings envelop us, there's no better way to embrace the outdoors than gathering around a firepit. Firepits offer a captivating ambiance and a cozy atmosphere, making them an excellent addition to your summer gatherings. However, choosing the right firewood is key to enhancing your firepit experience. In this blog post, we'll explore the joys of enjoying firepits in the summer and guide you on selecting the best firewood for those magical nights.
Embracing the Summer Vibes: Summer nights provide a unique opportunity to unwind and connect with nature. A firepit becomes the focal point of your outdoor space, radiating warmth and inviting conversation and relaxation. The crackling flames and soft glow create a mesmerizing ambiance that sets the perfect backdrop for memorable moments with friends and family.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Firewood: Selecting the appropriate firewood is crucial to ensure a pleasant
We’ve been cooking with wood ever since we discovered fire and how to harness its power.
Why did we do it..? Well it helped to make our food easier to eat; it also killed harmful bacteria and made it taste amazing, today those things are just as true.
1.8 million years ago however, there were other factors to consider, firewood kept our ancestors together, safe and warm as an essential fuel for life.
Warmth, safety and incredible-tasting food... It’s no surprise that cooking with firewood became so popular.
Cooking with firewood today, awakens those same feelings inside us, its elemental, incredibly social, even a little primal and the taste, well it’s better than ever.
Cooking with firewood is generating a great deal of interest in the UK these days. Some of the nation’s finest restaurants are embracing firewood cooking to deliver a different experience and taste their diners.
Our gardens
It’s the middle of summer, we are thinking about logs for the pizza oven, charcoal for our Garden barbecues and, if we are buying kiln dried firewood then it’s probably for those relaxing memorable evenings with family and friends around the garden bonfire or firepit.
Why on earth would we think about the winter season when we are all so busy enjoying the summer months..?
It’s a good question and this year especially; a really important question because it is a year when several unique challenges have combined to cause real problems for our own and many other industries which rely on wood and timber.
Prior to the UK’s exit from the European Union, a significant stockpile of timber and a healthy supply chain meant we could take the supply of firewood for granted. However issues began during the Brexit transition period when our
It’s a good question and one which we face many times when offering help, advice and support to the people who trust our service.
The good news is; it’s a question that never gets old because the answer is usually unique to the person asking and their own firewood needs.
Those conversations are in-fact just as interesting for us, as they give us a deeper insight into what happens to the kiln dried logs, smoking wood and pizza oven logs we ship, after they are safely delivered to our client’s door on the day of their choosing...
So let’s have a closer look at those needs and the firewood that might suit them best.
As so many of us look to our gardens as places of sanctuary and spaces to enjoy lately, the sales in fire pits has risen massively and of course; the need for firewood to fuel them, but which type of firewood is best?
Anyone looking to light fires safely in
Sustainability and ethical business models are challenging but vital issues for any business to address but when your product itself is an integral part of the environment, then it’s a challenge you need to address openly and devote time and resources to overcome.
The people who use our kiln dried logs, our charcoal and our pizza oven logs need the reassurance and peace of mind that the environmental impact of our service and their own activities are offset and minimised as much as they can possibly be.
The companies we supply need those same reassurances, for the sustainability of their own businesses, their brands and their image.
As a family run business we share these concerns, they are the reasons why we are leading the UK industry in embracing and investing in innovation and some different ways of doing things.
On the 1st of May 2021, the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs took an important and carefully planned step towards improving the environment we all share and the air we breathe.
Wet wood and household coal, two of the most harmful fuels are now being phased out across England in a move designed to encourage householders and businesses to choose cleaner alternatives and to be more aware of the health implications of the harmful smoke that is released by burning them in stoves, wood fired ovens and open fires.
The smoke that is released from burning these wet woods contains high amounts of damaging fine particulate matter; tiny particles that can damage lungs and other organs and have a real impact on the health of those who are exposed to them.
In addition to these obvious health and environmental concerns, there is the added problem caused by burning wet wood, of built up tar deposits which can damage expensive appliances and create a
With spring now well under way and the summer months firmly in sight many firewood merchants and retailers might be forgiven for putting thoughts of winter on the back burner for a while.
The changing face of retail and all-round uncertainty regarding lockdown restrictions have also played a part in many retailer’s delays putting firm plans in place, after all there has been a lot to handle in very challenging times.
But certainly where kiln dried logs are concerned, failing to plan for the next heating season might just be planning to fail, for a number of very good and, as far as autumn and winter 2021 are concerned; very unique reasons.
There has been a notable change in the wood fuel sector this year, undoubtedly it is a change for the better, but it’s also one that might catch many seasonal retailers out should they fail to prepare in advance.
In May of 2021, DEFRA began its plan to phase out wet woods
