Wet Wood!

A recent survey has highlighted that over 40% of wood bought from garage forecourts is too wet for use in open fires / stoves.

Nearly half of the logs tested were found to have between 16 and 45% moisture content when less than 25% is advised for an efficient burn.

Burning of wet wood is not efficient as the fire dries the wood when it should be warming the room. It can also lead to a build- up of unwanted creosotes in the flue or chimney.
