Comparing prices

 

 

When comparing firewood prices, it’s crucial to compare like-for-like. Here's what to consider before you buy:

​

Hardwood vs. Softwood​

                                                                                     Hardwood is denser than softwood, meaning:,

                                                You burn less for the same heat output, you store less, handle less, and reload less often

                                                                                Hardwood is simply more cost-effective long term

               Softwood (especially if wet) may seem cheaper, but it burns faster, produces more smoke, and offers much less heat per bag.

​

Moisture content

Moisture matters
Logs should be below 20% moisture for a hotter, longer, and cleaner burn.
✔ Kiln-dried logs = cleaner burn, less tar, safer chimney
✖ Wet logs = poor heat, excessive smoke, and fire risk from tar build-up

Delivery & Convenience

                                                                                                   Not all deliveries are equal:

                                                                          Are your logs stacked or just dropped at the kerb?

                                                                   Is there a timed delivery slot, or do you need to wait in all day?

                                                                                              Does the supplier help unload?

                                                                           Your time, effort, and convenience have real value.

Cheapest isn’t always best.
Choose quality kiln-dried hardwood, clear pricing, and helpful extras — it pays off in performance, safety, and overall satisfaction.
