About Us

 

 

 

Firewood Direct have a business aim to provide quality kiln dried logs to our customers, with the added benefit of educating our clients to the enormous benefits to them and for the environment.

Burning logs is environmentally friendly as it is carbon neutral and net carbon emissions can be reduced compared to fossil fuels. Using wood can not only mean more economical fuel bills, but in turn, sustains rural employment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We only use good quality timber comprising mainly of hornbeam, oak, birch and ash, which is sourced locally from sustainable woodlands. We produce our logs all year, not just seasonally, so as a result our product is always available, fully dried and ready for you to burn. Buying and using damp firewood can result in more cost, as less heat is produced and the excess moisture in the wood can actually cause burner, stove, flue or chimney problems which of course can cost heavily in the future.

 

 

 

The Firewood Poem

 

Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for logs 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But Ash new or Ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold
Birch and Fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold
But Ash green or Ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But Ash wet or Ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by
