FAQs

Delivery times depend on our time of year but are typically 2-4 working days unless specified elsewhere, we also offer a next day delivery service. We will always give you a call or text to arrange a date and time as we want to make sure it is convenient for you.

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 Hertfordshire and other surrounding counties and dried on our local site. Your logs could have come from just a few miles outside of Hitchin! By sourcing and drying our logs locally, we reduce unnecessary transport and support responsible forestry, helping to preserve the local countryside.

Yes, Hitchin is not currently in a smoke control zone, so 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 North Herts Council website for updates.

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

Historic Fires in Hitchin

• There was a major fire in 1628 that devastated Hitchin. Over 100 houses were destroyed, around one third of all the town’s housing at the time.
• The town also suffered “severe damage” during the English Civil War (1642-1646), including destruction, which would have involved fires and burning of structures. These kinds of events forced rebuilding, influenced building materials and affected town planning.

Wood & Timber, Thatched Buildings, Wood Trades

• Thatched roofs: Thatched roofing, using reed and straw, was common in historic houses around Hitchin. There are still thatchers in the area who preserve this craft.
• Timber yards and sawmills: In Hitchin’s industrial/commercial development, wood processing, timber yards and sawmills were significant. For example, Neithrop’s timber yard is mentioned in histories of Hitchin industry.
• Timber framed or partly wooden structures: Many older buildings would have used wood for framework, like internal beams, as was common before brick became dominant.

Interactions of Wood & Fire with Hitchin’s Development

• Because many buildings were wooden or thatched, they were vulnerable in major fires. As with many historic towns, the frequency or severity of fires would have driven changes: using more fire-resistant materials, changing closeness of buildings and improving fire prevention.
• The industrial uses of fire: kilns, furnaces, workshops. For instance, Hitchin had lime kilns and clay kilns as part of its historic industry.
