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.

Log sizes & quantity

We also suggest that our customer should think about log sizes before they order. It is important to check the dimensions of your fireplace or your intended usage space to make sure you buy the correct size log for your purpose. Buying oversized fire logs may require you to split them before use, adding unnecessary time and effort to their usage. Once you know what size log are best for you, you need to think about what quantity of firewood logs you need. Buying our products in bulk can help you save money in the long run if you require larger amounts.

Although it is not vital to the effectiveness of our fire logs, choosing ethically sourced firewood logs helps to reduce the environmental impact of sourcing. At Northumberland Logs we source 90% of our fire logs locally and actively create new woodland in Northumberland to help offset the environmental effect of our business.

Price vs. value

While some customers may think that buying cheap fire logs from any old distributor seem appealing, they often come with unseen issues. These problems can include anything from hidden costs, poor burn quality, excessive moisture problems, or quicker consumption. Investing in higher-quality firewood logs from a local provider like Northumberland Logs will pay off in the long run.

Ready to burn

It is important to ensure your fire logs are safe to use on delivery, this helps them burn better due to their quality. Ready to use logs also aid in reducing pollution and help your appliance work more effectively.
