Ready to Burn Logs for Cleaner, More Reliable Fires

Ready to Burn logs give you the reassurance of buying properly dried firewood that can be used without months of additional seasoning. With a moisture content of 20% or less, they light more readily and burn more efficiently than wet or inadequately seasoned wood.

FirewoodFund offers Ready to Burn firewood in a range of practical formats, from manageable bags and boxes through to bulk bags, pallet quantities and log crates. Browse the products above to find the right combination of quantity, species, log size and packaging for the way you use your fire.

What Does Ready to Burn Mean?

Ready to Burn is a recognised certification for wood fuel with a moisture content of 20% or less.

In England, firewood sold in volumes below two cubic metres must be certified as Ready to Burn. The certification gives customers a clearer indication that the wood has been properly dried and is suitable for use without further seasoning.

Compared with wet firewood, properly stored Ready to Burn logs:

• Are generally easier to light.
• Use less energy evaporating excess moisture.
• Produce a cleaner, more efficient fire.
• Generate less smoke than wet or inadequately seasoned logs.
• Help reduce unnecessary soot and deposits in appliances and chimneys.

You can learn more about moisture levels, fuel quality and certification in our log quality, certification and readiness guide.

Choose Ready to Burn Firewood for the Way You Burn

The best quantity depends on how frequently you use your fire, the storage space available and how easily you want to handle the logs.

Small bags and boxes are convenient for occasional fires, topping up an existing supply or properties with limited storage. They are also easier to move individually after delivery.

Bulk bags and palletised bags are better suited to customers who light their stove regularly and want to reduce how frequently they reorder.

Log crates provide another practical bulk option, particularly when you want a clearly stated stacked quantity or a particular combination of wood species.

Packaging dimensions do not always provide a fair comparison because loose-filled products contain gaps between the logs. Use our firewood volume comparison chart to compare loose and estimated stacked quantities before ordering.

Ready to Burn Hardwood Logs, Birch and Larch

Ready to Burn describes the moisture and certification standard of the firewood rather than one particular tree species. The products available through FirewoodFund include hardwood and softwood options sourced from Britain and Europe, depending on the individual product.

Different species provide different burning characteristics:

• Kiln-dried birch logs light readily and produce an attractive, lively flame.
• Kiln-dried ash logs provide a dependable, balanced burn.
• Kiln-dried oak logs are dense and particularly well suited to steady fires once properly established.
• British larch provides a Ready to Burn softwood alternative for customers who prefer a faster-burning fire.

Individual product pages provide the applicable species, quantity, log dimensions and provenance information. Always choose a log size and fuel type suitable for your particular stove, fireplace or outdoor appliance.

Looking for Ready to Burn Logs Near You?

You do not need to rely solely on the firewood available from a nearby garage, garden centre or local shop. FirewoodFund supplies Ready to Burn logs online for delivery to most mainland UK addresses.

Smaller orders may be sent by parcel courier, while bulk bags, crates and pallet quantities are generally delivered using a tail-lift vehicle and pallet truck.

Weekday delivery is included with qualifying palletised products to most mainland UK addresses, while parcel orders over £100 qualify for free delivery. Available dates and any optional delivery services are shown during checkout.

Pallet deliveries may be kerbside, and final placement depends on safe vehicle access, the surface and conditions at the delivery address. Read our kiln-dried log delivery information before ordering if your property has restricted access, a narrow road, gravel or soft ground.

Keep Your Logs Ready to Use

Even properly dried firewood can absorb moisture when stored badly. Keep your logs sheltered from direct rain, raised off the ground and surrounded by sufficient airflow.

An outdoor log store, ventilated shed or similar covered area is normally suitable. Avoid completely sealing firewood in plastic because trapped condensation can encourage damp and mould.

If the outside of a log becomes slightly damp, allow it to dry before use. Maintaining a smaller supply in a suitable dry location can also make lighting your next fire easier.

Choosing FirewoodFund supports more than your next fire. For every order placed online, money is donated towards tree planting in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Ready to Burn logs the same as kiln-dried logs?

Ready to Burn is a certification and moisture standard, while kiln drying is a method of removing moisture from firewood. The products displayed on this page are kiln dried and supplied as Ready to Burn firewood, combining controlled drying with a recognised moisture standard.

What moisture content should Ready to Burn logs have?

Certified Ready to Burn logs have a moisture content of 20% or less. Lower-moisture firewood generally lights more easily and burns more efficiently than wet wood because less heat is spent evaporating water.

Can I burn the logs immediately?

Yes. Ready to Burn logs are designed to be used without further seasoning, provided they have been stored correctly and are suitable for your appliance.

Can I use Ready to Burn logs in a smoke control area?

If you live in a smoke control area, wood must only be burned in an appropriate exempt appliance. Ready to Burn certification confirms the fuel’s moisture standard but does not remove the requirement to use a suitable appliance and follow the applicable rules.

Are all Ready to Burn logs hardwood?

No. Ready to Burn certification can apply to both hardwood and softwood. FirewoodFund offers different wood species and mixtures, so check the individual product information before ordering.

How much Ready to Burn firewood should I order?

Small bags and boxes suit occasional use, while bulk bags, pallet quantities and crates normally provide better convenience for regular users. Consider your burning frequency, available storage and the stated firewood volume rather than comparing price alone.
