As I've said many times before, the issue is the British public's unwillingness to consider taking responsibility for drying their own firewood. Most people have space for a 2x2x2m store, which if compartmentalised into four sections would allow for rotation of stock and therefor the burning of adequately dry timber. The people that seem to have the most issues with their stoves are those with the smaller burners. Given the minute size of logs required for such fires, the firewood would dry out very rapidly once split. Softwood at 20cm x 5-8cm would dry within 2 months in summer.

 

Anyway, my point is that instead of customers bitching and moaning about not being able to find a reliable supplier, why the hell don't they take some responsibility, order a decent load (say 4 cube) at a decent price (say £60/cube) and dry it themselves. Better that than the inevitable call on Christmas Eve for a builders bag of dry logs.

But if a supplier is selling dry wood all year round there's no need to

 

For sure the best customers will fill up spring/summer

This.

 

Not a wood burning nation. Nor a very bright one anymore. Unlike Norway.

👍 Also to add; being proud they bought in advance, got good value and have a nice stack of firewood.

I believe it's in the industries (log producer, merchant and stove seller) interest to inform the public of ALL the options in regards to buying firewood.
