INFO

Wood as a fuel is very versatile and increasingly popular ecological option. The wood that we supply is predominantly hardwood and mainly Beech which is a dense good quality fuel. Recently we have also been introducing some better quality softwoods such as Western Hemlock, which some of our older customers will remember is all we offered for sale when we first started the business in 1989!

We as a company feel that softwood as a fuel is the answer for the future sustainability of the firewood industry in Cornwall and the UK.

So how is firewood seasoned, and why?
Essentially, it is making wood fit for burning – by reducing its water content, usually by leaving it for a period of time in the right conditions. r.

The first step we take to drive the water out of the wood is to cut it into lengths about 12–18 inches long. Tree branches and trunks contain thousands of microscopic tubes which carry water from the roots to the leaves, and these tubes can stay full of water for years after the tree has been felled (or pruned). Cutting the wood to shorter lengths opens up these tubes to the atmosphere which increases evaporation.

The second step is splitting any logs that are more than six inches in diameter. This increases the surface area of the wood that is exposed to the elements and further enhances drying. So the cutting and splitting of logs should be done as soon as possible after the wood is harvested – not just before you want to burn it. 

If you have any questions about logs and firewood that we haven't covered here, please feel free to contact us and we will get back to you.
