Optimized for Clean Burns & Maximum Heat Output
Not all firewood is equal. Burning wet or poorly seasoned wood results in low heat, excessive smoke, and dangerous soot build-up in your chimney. At Walkers Wood, we split and barn-dry our hardwood logs until they reach an average moisture content of under 20%—meeting the strict national Woodsure "Ready to Burn" standards.
| Firewood Specification | Details | Ideal Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Oak Logs | Highly dense, slow-burning hardwood. Requires a hot bed to start but lasts longer. | Overnight heating, sustained heat in wood burners. |
| Ash Logs | Excellent heat output, low smoke, and clean, steady flame. Very easy to light. | Standard wood burning stoves, open fireplaces. |
| Cherry Logs | Splits easily and releases a sweet, aromatic scent when burning. Burns with a bright flame. | Social gatherings, fire pits, open hearths. |
| Log Dimensions | Standard 10-inch (25cm) lengths, cut and split to fit 99% of domestic stoves. | Stoves, fire hearths, and wood ovens. |
| Moisture Content | Guaranteed under 20% average moisture (Ready to Burn Certified). | Low ash residue, maximum stove lifespan. |
Why Hardwood Matters
Hardwood logs come from slow-growing trees (like oak and ash), making them far more dense than softwood logs. This density means a single load of hardwood has double the energy output of softwood, meaning you need to burn fewer logs to keep your home warm all winter.
