What to consider before buying firewood logs
When trying to choose the right firewood logs for you, the type of logs you pick can make a huge difference to your heat quality and value for money you get. Whether you’re looking to buy your wood in small or large quantities, knowing what you should be looking for in your fire logs choices will help you make the best choice for your needs.There are several different factors you should consider before deciding which firewood logs are right for you.
Choose a trusted supplier
The easiest way to guarantee that you receive great quality fire logs, that are both cost-effective and excellent quality, is to find a quality supplier. Buying your fire logs from a trusted, local supplier, like Northumberland Logs, not only gives you superior products but also excellent service. Here at Northumberland Logs, we are known by our customers as a leading supplier of firewood logs. We offer only the best quality at competitive pricing with outstanding customer service for all of our customers.
Moisture content of the logs
One of the most important factors that affect quality of the wood you should consider is the moisture level of the firewood logs. This is because higher moisture fire logs will burn poorly, faster and produce more smoke when compared to drier logs. Customers should aim for logs with less than a 20% moisture content, like our kiln-dried fire logs, which give you a cleaner and more efficient burn.
Hardwood vs. softwood logs
Our firewood logs come in a range of different types of wood, each of which has their own uses and benefits. Hardwoods like oak or ash, will burn longer and hotter than softwoods, like pine or spruce. When choosing which type of firewood logs are best for your need, you should be aware of what your heating requirements are. For example, for heating your home, customers will most often prefer the longer burns and higher heat production of hardwood fire logs as this helps them save money in the long run.
