The Right Firewood Supplier
When choosing your firewood supplier you should take into account;
| > |
How local they are to you as this will reduce the energy used to transport the fuel |
| > |
Will the wood be obtained from a sustainable source |
| > |
Has the wood been seasoned |
| > |
Are they supplying softwood, hardwood or a mixture of both? |
| > |
How big are the logs and will they suit your appliance? |
| > |
It’s better to buy logs by volume rather than by weight as this removes the influence of moisture content |
In order to prevent unpleasant odours and harmful emissions, it’s important to avoid wood that has been:
| > |
Varnished |
| > |
Plastic-coated |
| > |
Treated with wood preservatives |
| It’s also important to avoid burning any household waste. |
