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

Yes, Hinckley 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 Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council website for updates.

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

Hinckley's historic connection to wood and fire is primarily defined by the devastating Great Hinckley Fire of 1894, which was fueled by the town's logging industry and the extensive, dry wooden debris on the ground. As a major logging and railroad center made of wood, the town was particularly vulnerable, and a firestorm of immense heat destroyed it in a matter of hours, leading to a high death toll.

The Great Hinckley Fire of 1894.

Logging industry: Hinckley was a center for the timber industry. The practice of stripping branches from logs and leaving them on the ground to be burned later created a massive amount of highly flammable material.

Dry conditions: A severe drought and high temperatures in the summer of 1894 left the area extremely dry and susceptible to fire.

Spark to flame: On September 1, 1894, sparks from locomotives on two rail lines south of town ignited the dry wood debris, and the fire spread rapidly northward.

Firestorm: The fires merged into a monstrous firestorm, propelled by hurricane-force winds and creating temperatures of over \(2,000^\) F, hot enough to melt steel.

Destruction: The inferno, a combination of wood debris, drought, and wind, consumed the town and nearby forests, killing at least 418 people.

Survivor stories: Many survivors escaped by seeking refuge on trains or in water, such as a gravel pit or a lake, that the firestorm could not reach.

Legacy: Hinckley Fire Museum: The town now has a museum dedicated to the event, which showcases artifacts and stories from the fire and the subsequent rebuilding efforts.

Town name origin: The name "Hinckley" itself originates from Anglo-Saxon "Hinca" and "ley," meaning "Hinca's wood clearing," reflecting an early connection to woodlands that the firestorm tragically highlighted.
