Why Hardwood?
Hardwood logs usually burn hotter and much longer than any softwood logs. This is due to hardwood being denser – therefore offering more mass to burn – and having a lower sap or resin content than softwood. In turn, the high mass of our hardwood logs means they can be a bit more difficult to light a fire with.
In return, hardwood logs are ideal for keeping a fire going. If your logs are roughly the same size then softwood burns up much quicker than hardwood; meaning you’ll use up more logs if using only softwood. Hardwood can burn at high temperatures and last for a couple of hours depending on the size of the log and how you structure your fire. This means when burning hardwood you have to refuel your fire less often and can focus on more important things.
Just be aware that not all stoves can burn hardwood efficiently, so if in doubt it’s a good idea to check your stove’s fuelling recommendations.
Why Choose Man Coed’s Logs For Sale?
Sourcing all of the wood sustainably through our tree surgery work is one of the curbstones of our process. It helps in giving back to the environment and preventing trees from being needlessly cut for the sole purpose of creating wood products; such as hardwood logs.
For the past several years, the team at our North Wales based processing plant have utilised two 75m2 drying floors; to turn what would be wood waste into the recycled products sold on our online shop. This means 100% of the logging waste from our daily tree surgery jobs can be dried and processed into high-quality firewood or biofuel – like our slow-burning hardwood logs.
The wide variety of trees we have access to through our bigger tree surgery/ vegetation/ grounds management contracts means that more wood waste can be turned into logs. These jobs can often entail the removal of many tree limbs, or trees altogether, that can be processed on our drying floors and turned into prime hardwood logs for sale.
Hardwood logs are usually more expensive than softwood logs, so using hardwood recycled from our tree surgery work across the local area means we can offer our products at a competitive rate. All of our logs are also Woodsure approved Ready To Burn so if you’re looking for high-quality logs for sale then look no further!
