Our Hardwood Logs for Sale

Looking for hardwood logs for sale that actually burn well? You're in the right place. We supply properly seasoned hardwood firewood across the West Midlands, cut and ready to keep your log burner, stove or open fire going all winter.

Hardwood is the wood you want. It's dense, so it burns slower and gives off more heat than softwood. Less topping up, more time sat by the fire. Oak, ash, birch, beech.

Why hardwood firewood over softwood?

Fair question. Softwood lights quickly and it's cheaper, but it burns through fast and doesn't throw out the same heat. Hardwood is the opposite. It's a bit slower to get going, then it settles in and stays hot for ages. For a wood burner or stove you're running through the evening, hardwood wins. Most folk use a bit of softwood or kindling to get started, then hardwood to keep it going. Best of both.

The Key Differences Between Hardwood and Softwood Logs

Hardwood is denser, burns hotter, and lasts longer, so you’ll use fewer logs.

Softwood lights easily, burns brighter, and is ideal for starting fires.

We recommend starting with softwood, then switching to hardwood for steady heat.

How long will my logs last?

Typically a bulk bag will last 6-8weeks when burning for a few hours in the evening. The loose truck load is worth 2.5 bulk bags so typically people ordering the loose load will use 1.5 loads a year. This is based on just burning in the evening, if your fire is lit for longer then you will use more logs.

Which Firewood Should You Buy?

Depends what you're burning it on, and what you want out of it.

Hardwood is the one most people are after. Ash, oak, birch. It's dense, so it burns slow and puts out steady heat for hours. Ideal for a log burner or multi-fuel stove you want ticking over all evening. Our 100% ash is about as good as hardwood gets, lights well and burns clean.

Softwood lights fast and burns hot, but it burns through quicker. Great for getting a fire going, taking the chill off, or an outdoor burner where you're not fussed about it lasting all night. Cheaper too.

Mixed gives you the best of both. Softwood to get going, hardwood to keep it there. If you can't decide, this is the safe pick.

Got a pizza oven or a chiminea? You want kiln dried hardwood, and ideally the thinner logs, they get up to temperature fast and there's no smoke ruining the food.

Still stuck? Ring us. We'll ask what you're burning on and point you at the right bag. That's the advantage of buying from people who actually know their wood.

What is the difference between kiln & barn dried logs?

Kiln dried are force dried (around 15% moisture) and burn hotter and more efficiently, they are recommended for burning on new stoves. Barn dried are naturally dried (around 20% moisture) and will burn for longer but not hotter, they are recommended for open fires and older stoves.
