Moisture levels vary in our logs depending on the season. Our logs will be much wetter in the winter months than in the summer.

Our logs are particularly wet if we have had large amounts of rainfall so we recommend that you buy your logs early to allow them to fully dry out before burning.

  • We can cut logs to a length from 8 inches up to 24 inches long to suit your wood burning needs.  There is a £10 charge for cutting to lengths shorter than 10 inches, due to the extra time it takes.
