Here at Valley Sawmills we take every reasonable step to ensure your logs are as dry as possible and it should be remembered that well seasoned logs will provide a warming fire even if they do occasionally get a little damp on the outside - the secret is to light your fire properly...........
These tips should ensure your fire will light and burn more efficiently.
If however you definitely need your firewood to be dry and under 20% moisture content, we also supply kiln dried Hardwood logs, at what we believe, is one of most competitive prices.
All our hardwood logs come from trees which have been felled between one and two years ago. Once the trees have been felled they are transported to our outside store and then cut and bagged ready to be delivered. Whilst we do as much as we can to protect the logs once they have been cut, we have no control over the weather conditions and during the winter months they can sometimes become a little damp and the moisture content will also fluctuate depending on the time of year and the weather.
It's worth remembering that so called “seasoned logs” can vary in moisture content.
Fresh cut – 40% to 50%
Part seasoned – 25% to 35%
Fully seasoned – 20% or less
Fresh cut logs take about 6 months to dry or basically a season, hence the name “seasoned”. To dry, stack them with plenty of ventilation, ideally in the Spring.
In difficult times we know that every little bit of help is appreciated and so we have now introduced and, built, a new self-collection log station at the yard which will enable customers to easily and quickly select either a £60 or a £30 load of loose logs put straight into your car boot – so no need to buy in large quantities, which can be expensive and sometimes difficult to store if you don’t have the space. We now also do small loads of kiln dried logs - a 1/4 bulk bag for only £50.00!
