product details

A full winter of ash in one delivery. This crate holds 1.2m³ of stacked logs, roughly 590 of them and around 537kg, which works out at about 24 maxi bags’ worth for a fraction of the per-log price.

Ash is the log most people mean when they say “good firewood”. It lights more easily than oak, burns with a steady, bright flame and holds its heat well, so it sits between birch and oak: quick enough to get going on a weeknight, long enough to see out the evening. If you only ever buy one species, this is the safe bet for a wood burner.

Every log is kiln dried to under 18% moisture, Ready to Burn certified and cut to around 25cm. The crate comes wrapped on a pallet and is delivered kerbside by Palletline, free to most UK postcodes, next working day if you order by 2pm.

How it arrives

Your crate comes wrapped on a pallet, delivered by Palletline on a tail-lift lorry. The driver will put it on the nearest hard-standing, usually your drive or kerbside; they can't take it through gates, up steps or round the back, so have a spot in mind. Someone needs to be in to sign for it. You'll get a call or text on the morning with a delivery window.

Surcharge areas

Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Scottish Highlands and Islands, and the Isles of Scilly: £50 per crate, 2–3 working days. Isle of Wight: £30 per crate, 2–3 working days. Added at checkout; enter your postcode above for your exact date and cost.

Returns & guarantee

Not happy with your logs? Tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll put it right with a replacement, a credit or a refund. We won't ask you to send a crate back; a quick photo is usually all we need.

storage & lighting

Storage

Keep the crate somewhere dry and off the ground, ideally under cover: a garage, barn, carport or a sheltered spot against the house. Unwrap the top so the logs can breathe and keep the rest wrapped until you need it. Kiln dried logs will take moisture back in if they're left open to the rain, so if it's outside, keep a cover over the top.

Lighting

A couple of firelighters or a handful of kindling in the centre of the grate.
Two or three logs on top, loosely, so air can get between them.
Light it, vents fully open, door slightly ajar for the first few minutes if your stove allows.
Once the logs have caught, close the door and bring the vents down to a steady burn.
Add one log at a time as it burns down; don't pack the firebox.

Stop struggling to light damp, unreliable firewood.

Title

Outdoor fires should light easily, burn cleanly and create steady heat without excessive smoke or constant attention. Poorly seasoned logs often do the opposite, smouldering heavily and wasting much of the fire’s energy evaporating excess moisture before proper combustion can begin.

Our kiln-dried logs are dried below 18% moisture for a brighter, cleaner burn that ignites quickly, produces lively flames and delivers reliable heat from the very first fire.
