I’ve updated post with bit more info. Yes just any size lengths and widths for me to ring and split. 

But you said codwood!

 

(sorry, old arbtalk long running joke)

 

cordwood usually refers to processor grade straight sticks for making firewood.  
 

you are looking for arb waste. 
 

add yourself to the tip site directory. 
 

processor cordwood will cost you at least £90 a ton delivered in so I’d expect be paid a t least a token amount for dropping off arb waste in this day and age.

I've always preferred the messy stuff, it's more fun to watch.

I love my sawmill offcuts. 
 

It’s the sign of the decadent Home Counties that firewood is form more than function.

Then you need cordwood- 2.4m lengths from forestry operations. 
 

 

Tree surgeons, by nature of their job, will hack the wood roughly into whatever lengths give the most expedient way of getting it down from the tree and out of a garden. So the resultant logs will be all different sizes with jagged misshapen ends.

I've always felt warmer with my own gristly arbwaste than any mesh bag of 3D printed identilogs from a petrol station. Knots, bark, crotches, whorls. Lovely stuff.

A mix of species burns best also.
