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 https://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 short to long 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 Oxford and other surrounding counties and dried on our local site. Your logs could have come from just few miles outside !
By sourcing and drying our logs locally, we reduce unnecessary transport and support responsible forestry, helping to preserve the local countryside.

Yes, but Oxford is currently in a smoke control zone, meaning domestic chimneys must only burn authorised fuels (e.g. smokeless coal or DEFRA‑approved “Ready to Burn” kiln‑dried logs). This means that our kiln-dried hardwood logs would be a great option. It’s always a good idea to check Oxford City Council for updates.

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

Oxford’s long-standing ties to wood and fire span several fascinating centuries:

Medieval and Early Modern Woodlands

• In the Chiltern Hills near Oxford, woodlands were managed as coppices, regularly cut oak and beech stools to provide fuel for everyday fires and local industries like smelting, tile-making, and glassworks.
• Wood was shipped down the Thames as billets and bavins, long sticks and bundles, used in fireplaces across London, even preferred by Queen Elizabeth I over coal.

Fire Prevention & Early Fire Brigades

• Oxford’s first fire engines were acquired in the mid-1600s, accompanied by a city-wide bucket and ladder system. Residents kept leather buckets ready by law.
• By 1870, Oxford formed a volunteer fire brigade housed in New Inn Hall Street; their expansion led in 1896 to the George Street fire station, a regal Italianate building with communal hall and engine bay.

The Corn Exchange & Fire Station Complex

• Completed in 1895–96, this combined structure on George Street originally housed grain markets and the city’s fire appliances under one ornate roof.
• It functioned as Oxford’s fire headquarters until the brigade moved in 1971, the site was later repurposed first for storage and then as the Old Fire Station theatre & arts centre.

Modern Wood Burning & Smoke Control

• Wood-burning remains culturally rooted in Oxford, with pubs featuring open fires and ongoing use of wood fuel
• Due to health concerns, Oxford introduced Smoke Control Areas from 1958 onwards and expanded to cover the entire city from December 2024, regulating wood-burners and chimney emissions. However you can still burn wood using a DEFRA-exempt appliance https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/appliances.php/.

Summary

Oxford’s bond with wood began in its woodland economy, fuelling homes, industries, and even royal palaces. Its relationship with fire evolved from communal bucket brigades, to organised firefighting in the late 19th century, housed in a grand combined Corn Exchange and Fire Station. Today, that legacy endures both in heritage buildings like the Old Fire Station and in local traditions, now carefully balanced with air quality regulations to reduce smoke pollution.
