READY TO BURN.

What does “Ready to Burn” actually mean?

It’s a government-backed standard for low-moisture firewood

Firewood with the Ready to Burn logo has a moisture content of 20% or less — meaning it’s safe, efficient and legal to burn at home. It lights easily, burns cleaner, and gives off less smoke and soot. Whether you’re using a log burner, fire pit or open fire, Ready to Burn logs give you better performance and less mess.

Why does Ready to Burn matter?

It’s better for your stove, your wallet and the environment

Wet or seasoned wood can damage your stove, create excess smoke, and waste heat. Ready to Burn logs are fully dried to give off more heat with less fuel — saving you money and keeping your appliance in good condition. It’s also part of reducing emissions across the UK and keeping air quality cleaner for everyone.
