Logs need to be dried before they are burnt; if they aren’t, the extra moisture must be dried off by the fire, wasting precious heat energy. Additionally, wet firewood releases harmful toxins that can build up in your appliance increasing the risk of a fire. These toxins also escape into the atmosphere and are detrimental to environmental and human health. Kiln-dried logs are far more efficient, burning hotter and longer while producing less smoke. Ours are guaranteed below 18% moisture and carry the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ certification – ideal for homes with log burners or open fireplaces.

We are delighted to be certified by the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ scheme. They are the only certification scheme in the UK that rigorously checks that wood fuel producers produce and supply wood fuel to the correct standard. Not only do their rigorous standards contribute to the reduction of air pollution, they also act to protect your appliance from unnecessary damage. To learn more about this worthwhile scheme, visit woodsure.co.uk.

This depends on the size of your burner. Our standard size is 10 inch, but we offer a range of sizes from small to large in length, as well as chunky or skinny logs so you have five sizes to choose from. If unsure, check your stove manual or give our friendly team a call and we’ll help you choose the right size.

The vast majority of our wood comes from within the UK. Many of our logs are sourced from managed woodland across Northamptonshire and other surrounding counties and dried on our local site. Your logs could have come from just a few miles outside of Northampton! By sourcing and drying our logs locally, we reduce unnecessary transport and support responsible forestry, helping to preserve the local countryside.

Yes you can burn logs as Northampton is not currently in a smoke control zone. You can use a log burner or open fire. Just be sure to burn kiln-dried wood, like ours, which meets all the requirements for clean, efficient burning. It’s always a good idea to check the West Northamptonshire Council website for any rules or updates.

Fun Facts…. Northampton’s Historic Connection to Wood and Fire

Timber’s Prominent Role

• The use of wood and thatch in construction, common at the time, directly contributed to the fire’s rapid spread. This tragedy underscored the inherent fire risk of such materials.
• The replacement of flammable materials with stone, brick, and slate marked a transformative shift in local building practices post-fire, a tangible outcome of the disaster.

Commemorating the Fire 350 Years Later

• In 2025, Northampton marked the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire with a robust programme of community events, including Oak Apple Day, art exhibitions, and processions.
• The Explore Northampton app now features an augmented-reality “Great Fire Trail,” tracing the blaze’s path through the town centre and offering narrated insights from historical characters.

The Great Fire of Northampton (1675)

• When & How it Began: On 20 September 1675, a spark from an open fire on St Mary’s Street, near Northampton Castle, ignited a blaze that engulfed the town’s timber and thatch-built centre, accelerated by strong westerly winds.
• Destruction: The rapid inferno destroyed roughly 700 of the 850 buildings in Northampton, about three-quarters of the town, leaving some 11 dead and over 700 families homeless.
• Survivors: A handful of stone-built structures survived, including the Welsh House on Market Square and Hazelrigg House on Mare Fair.
• Aftermath & Rebuilding: In a remarkable response, King Charles II donated 1,000 tons of timber from royal forests (Salcey and Whittlebury) to help rebuild All Saints’ (formerly All Hallows’) Church and other infrastructure. Streets were widened, and buildings were reconstructed using brick, stone, and slate. An Act of Parliament was passed to expedite the town’s reconstruction.
