HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE?
Start with some small twigs and kindling over some bunched-up newspaper. It may help to screw the newspaper up like sticks.
If you have a log burner place two large pieces of wood on the bottom of the fire. Place newspaper between the two logs and layer the kindling on top of the two larger logs in a crisscrossed pattern. This helps to get more air into the fire and will enable the fire to be easily relit if doesn’t light first time.
Light the fire with some safety matches or a lighter and try to double the size of the fire each time you add to it. Remember that adding too larger pieces of wood to the fire too early may smother the fire.
WHAT IS A CUBIC METRE OF FIREWOOD?
A cubic meter of Firewood is classified as a 1m by 1m by 1m cube that is filled with hand-thrown firewood.
WHERE IS OUR WOOD SOURCED FROM?
The majority of the wood that we process is either from forestry blocks that have not made the top export-grade or from mature shelterbelt removal. This wood is therefore sustainably sourced and carbon neutral.
