Where to buy firewood in Leicestershire?
As one of the midlands largest importers of wood fuel products our knowledge of the firewood industry is second to none.
We have been supplying and delivering top quality coal and seasoned firewood within Leicestershire and surrounding areas for 3 generations. During this time our process for cutting, splitting, storing, and drying our products have constantly been improved.
Sustainably sourced firewood in Leicestershire
We have always taken pride in the fact that we only source firewood from well-managed woodlands and recycle wood from local councils and tree surgeons – to reduce our carbon footprint.
Our logs are all harvested from well managed woodland once the trees have been felled the timbers are stacked in long lengths in the woods and left for 12 months. This allows the timber to die and the enzymes within the timber to break down the sap into more combustible material. After this time the timber is taken from the woods to our wood yard where it is cut, split, and stacked to allow the firewood to dry further for another 6 months. By which time it is ready to be sold.
Types of seasoned firewood
Buy mixed firewood in Leicestershire
Mixed logs are not recommended for open fires as they can spit. However, when dried properly it is the most fantastic fuel for wood burning stoves or indeed any closed appliance releasing a colossal amount of heat very quickly and giving the tiniest amounts of ash imaginable. It really is worth a try. Our mixed log bags include but not restricted to Oak, Cherry, Chestnut, Beech, Sycamore, Pine, Fur tree, London plane, Eucalyptus, Longbards, Lime, Hawthorn, Birch, Alder and Ash.
Buy hardwood firewood in Leicestershire
A tremendously good mixture containing most if not all of the British Hardwoods, including but not restricted to Oak, Beech, Sycamore, Hawthorn, Birch, Alder and Ash. This long burning mixture of logs is perfect for use on wood burning stoves – especially when mixed with a little smokeless coal – but not ideally suited for open fires. It will burn steadily and give excellent heat and efficiency. Burns cleanly with little ash.
Where to buy smokeless coal in Leicestershire?
Smokeless Coal is a solid fuel designed with the environment in mind, but the benefits of its use don't end there. As the name suggests, this fuel emits far less smoke and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when burned than ordinary coal. In response to the 1956 Clean Air Act, smokeless fuels became much more prominent as a way to make cities less polluted. For a fuel to be considered "smokeless," it has to release less than 5g of smoke into the atmosphere per hour of burning. That's 80% less smoke and up to 25% less carbon dioxide than conventional solid fuels. The renewable resources used to create Smokeless Coal drastically decrease the amount of carbon dioxide, the Green House Gas responsible for Global Warming, released into the atmosphere.
Smokeless Coal starts with a base of naturally occurring Anthracite, a compound with an extremely high carbon content that produces a glowing flame. The high density of carbon in Anthracite makes less room for many smoke-causing materials found in less eco-friendly fuels, so it burns cleanly. This compound is formed into briquettes with natural binding agents such as molasses and starch. The resulting product is a slow burning coal that lasts up to 40% longer than smoky coal without sacrificing heat; in fact, Smokeless Coal can give up to 1/3 more heat than regular coal. This high performance fuel can be used in a variety of appliances, both indoor and outdoor. Smokeless Coal can be used for both open fires and glass fronted stoves, as well as solid fuel cookers, boilers, and room heaters. Through technological innovation and environmental initiatives, the creators and scientists behind smokeless fuel are constantly finding ways to improve its efficiency and cost effectiveness. Perhaps the most important benefit of Smokeless Coal is that the reduced emissions have a positive health impact in the home and in surrounding populations. Smoke contains cancer-causing carcinogens and has been known to increase death by asthma. In addition to the economic impact, the efficiency, and the health benefits of using this fuel, the high carbon content means that there is less ash left behind when the fire burns out; that leaves less cleanup after each use.
In response to the growing number of smoke control areas in the UK, it's important to have access to alternative fuel sources such as Smokeless Coal, the cleanest, most efficient, and healthiest solid fuel available.
