Description
Sustainable kiln dried logs
Our sustainably sourced logs have been kiln dried to reduce moisture. Less moisture means more heat output, a cleaner burn and ultimately means you need fewer logs.
A 1.6m3 bag is equivalent to 58 small bags or nets of logs. These premier ‘ready to burn’ logs are ideal for stoves, open fires, firepits and pizza ovens. They’re also suitable for DEFRA approved stoves that can be used in a smoke control area.
Made for homes that get through plenty of firewood
If your wood burner is running most evenings, buying firewood a few bags at a time soon becomes inconvenient. Our 1.6m³ bulk bag of kiln dried logs is the largest standard bulk-bag option in our range, giving regular firewood users a substantial supply in a single delivery.
Each bag contains approximately 1.6 cubic metres of loose-filled kiln dried hardwood, equivalent to around 58 of our small bags or nets of logs.
The logs are sourced from British hardwood, giving you a practical mixed hardwood supply that’s ideal for regular use throughout the colder months.
This size is particularly suitable if you use a wood-burning stove, multi-fuel stove or open fire frequently, have suitable storage available and would simply prefer to order your logs less often.
1.6m³ of firewood – what are you actually getting?
Firewood is difficult to compare by weight because different species, moisture levels and individual logs naturally vary. That’s why this product is sold by loose-filled volume rather than weight.
You receive approximately:
- 1.6m³ loose-filled kiln dried firewood
- 0.96m³ approximate stacked volume
- The equivalent of around 58 small bags or nets of logs
So while terms such as “tonne bag of logs” and “builders bag of firewood” are sometimes used informally, this product is not sold as a fixed tonne or by a guaranteed number of individual logs. The meaningful measurement is the 1.6m³ loose volume supplied.
For a like-for-like comparison with our other products, see our firewood volume comparison guide.
Why choose the largest bulk bag?
The main advantage is simple: more firewood from one order.
If you regularly light your stove or fireplace, stepping up to 1.6m³ means fewer small bags to purchase and fewer repeat firewood orders through the burning season.
It can be particularly worthwhile when:
- you burn logs on most evenings during colder weather;
- firewood is an important part of your home heating;
- you already have a good-sized log store or dry garage;
- you prefer buying firewood in bulk;
- you want the strongest value-per-volume option within our standard bulk-bag range.
If your fire is only used occasionally, this amount may be more than you need. Our smaller 0.8m³ bulk bag may be more practical.
For households burning around two or three times per week, the 1.2m³ bulk bag provides a useful middle ground.
But if you’re likely to work through a substantial quantity of logs, the 1.6m³ bag is designed for exactly that situation.
British & European sourced kiln dried hardwood
This bulk bag contains a mixed supply of British sourced kiln dried hardwood, typically including species such as ash, beech and oak, depending on availability.
Using a hardwood mix gives you a versatile supply for everyday fires without limiting the product to a single species.
Logs are approximately:
- 25cm / 9.8 inches long
- 5–15cm / approximately 2–6 inches diameter
- +/-10% size tolerance
The approximately 25cm length is suitable for many standard wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves, although you should always check the maximum recommended log size for your particular appliance before ordering.
The logs are kiln dried to a moisture content suitable for efficient domestic burning and are supplied ready for use.
Make sure you have room before ordering
With the largest bulk bag, storage matters.
Your firewood arrives in a bulk bag securely strapped to a pallet for transport. Once delivered, we recommend transferring the logs into a dry, covered and well-ventilated log store, garage or similar storage area rather than leaving them permanently inside the delivery bag.
Allowing air to circulate while protecting the logs from rain will help maintain their condition until you’re ready to burn them.
If you’re unsure whether 1.6m³ will fit comfortably into your available space, compare the volumes of our different bulk bags and crates before ordering.
Bulk firewood delivered to your property
Ordering a large quantity of firewood doesn’t mean arranging your own collection.
Your 1.6m³ bulk bag is delivered directly to your property, with free bookable weekday UK mainland delivery available.
You don’t necessarily need to be at home when the delivery arrives, provided the pallet can safely be left on suitable private property.
A Saturday delivery option is also available for an additional charge.
Complete the order while the pallet is coming anyway
A large firewood delivery is also a useful opportunity to make sure you’re stocked with everything required for lighting it.
For a 1.6m³ supply, consider adding kiln dried kindling and natural firelighters to the same order rather than purchasing them separately later.
That way, your logs and fire-starting supplies can arrive together and you’re ready for the next fire from day one.

Frequently asked questions
How many logs are in a 1.6m³ bulk bag?
There isn’t a fixed number of individual logs because natural firewood varies in diameter, shape and size.
The product is therefore sold by volume rather than log count. A 1.6m³ bulk bag contains approximately the same volume of firewood as 58 of our small bags or nets of logs.
Is this the same as a tonne bag of logs?
Not necessarily. “Tonne bag”, “ton bag”, “builders bag” and “dumpy bag” are often used informally to describe large bags, but they don’t provide an accurate measurement of the amount of firewood supplied. Wood also varies considerably in weight depending on species and moisture content. This product is sold as 1.6 cubic metres of loose-filled firewood, rather than by tonne or kilogram.
Where do the logs come from?
The hardwood in this product is sourced from Britain. The exact species mix can vary according to availability, but commonly includes hardwoods such as ash, beech and oak.
How long will a 1.6m³ bulk bag of logs last?
There’s no reliable fixed number of days because firewood consumption depends on your stove, the size of each fire, weather conditions and how many hours you’re burning each day.
As a buying guide, the 1.6m³ size is aimed primarily at regular firewood users who burn logs on most evenings. Occasional users will generally be better suited to one of the smaller bulk bags.
Should I choose the 1.2m³ or 1.6m³ bulk bag?
Choose the 1.2m³ bag if you use your fire moderately and want to balance quantity with storage requirements.
Choose the 1.6m³ bag if you burn logs regularly, have sufficient dry storage and would prefer to maximise the amount of firewood delivered in one order.
How should I store 1.6m³ of kiln dried logs?
Transfer the logs from the delivery bag into a covered, dry and well-ventilated area such as a purpose-built log store or suitable garage.
Keep the firewood protected from direct rain while allowing air to circulate around the stack.
Ready for fewer firewood orders?
If you’re a regular burner with the storage space to match, the 1.6m³ bulk bag gives you the largest standard bulk-bag supply in our range — approximately 58 small bags’ worth of British and European sourced kiln dried hardwood delivered in one go.
