How do you ensure the quality of your logs?

At Thomson Wood Fuel Limited, we take great pride in supplying you with the highest quality kiln dried logs. In addition to ensuring our logs are sustainably sourced, they are also Ready to Burn certified, meaning they produce less smoke and emissions, while producing a higher heat output. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme was set up by HETAS, helping you identify the highest quality firewood with the lowest moisture content.

Our Logs are Ready to Burn Certified

The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme has been set up to make it easier for you to know what you are purchasing. We only supply Ready to Burn certified logs, ready for immediate use in the UK, so you know you are buying the highest quality product.

Backed by years of knowledge and experience in the wood fuel industry, we promote high quality kiln dried logs, kindling, and briquettes, that produce minimal smoke, offering a clean burn, with high heat outputs, and long burn durations.

Our consumers find our dry logs much easier to light, enjoying more heat, less soot, and less smoke. Our logs provide an efficient burn, meaning you need less logs to enjoy a warm and comfortable home during the winter months.

What Does Ready to Burn Mean?

Should you be choosing Ready to Burn logs? The answer is yes. Our firewood has been dried in a kiln, a controlled drying environment, that ensures the logs have a moisture content of below twenty percent. As our logs are all certified, they are labelled, so you know what you are buying, helping you make responsible fuel choices.

Is a Ready to Burn Certification Important?

Ready to Burn is important, it ensures the logs you purchase from us have a low moisture content, below twenty percent. Why is this important? Because dry wood provides an efficient burn. In fact, Leeds University carried out a trial and found that wood with a moisture content of between ten and twenty percent was best for an efficient burn.

Media have recently blamed wood burning as a contribution to poor air quality, and there is a major difference between burning our kiln dried logs and wet wood. When wood has a lot of moisture, it produces more emissions, releasing them into the atmosphere. When you choose Ready to Burn certified logs, you enjoy a clean burn, reducing the risk of emissions, helping to improve air quality.

Defra, who is responsible for air quality, have noticed that many of the logs being sold are not dry, definitely no where near what kiln dried logs are. As a result, they are encouraging UK home owners to only use Ready to Burn kiln dried logs, that are easier to light, while reducing your impact on air quality.

Sustainability

In addition to our logs all being Ready to Burn certified for use in the UK, we also ensure our logs are only sourced from sustainable sources. We understand the importance of being sustainable and environmentally friendly, and we can guarantee you that our logs are of the highest quality, whether you choose our oak kiln dried logs, ash kiln dried logs, or our birch kiln dried logs.
