Logs

The wood for our logs is sustainably sourced within West Sussex and Hampshire; mainly along the South Downs from managed woodlands between Singleton and Uppark. Our logs are seasoned and dried for around 18 months and placed outdoors to bare the stresses of the environment. This allows the wind and sun to dry the sap all the way through, fully seasoning the dried logs. The bark on the logs also acts as a protector and with the wood being stacked up in a pile as this encourages the rain to run off.

Why use Earth Cycle logs?

The logs are left to be seasoned and we don’t pre-cut the wood, until the order is placed. We make sure to get the log sawn as close to delivery as possible to ensure the logs are as dry as they certainly can be. With the logs being seasoned they burn extremely well and shouldn’t blacken the glass of your woodburner, stove or kiln. How slowly the logs burn is usually determined by the amount of air the woodburner receives.

Types of Wood?

Earth Cycle firewood logs contain a hardwood mix of Ash, Silver Birch, Hazel and Cherry. This mixture of hardwood works well for logs as these mixes contribute to low moisture content, good heat temperature and a nice scent, along with a benefit of burning well without spitting.

Sizes?

When ready to be cut, our logs are roughly sized at 8-10 inches and are available to be delivered in loose cubic metre loads or in bulk bags. Our seasoned logs are perfect for log burners and open fires for outside bbq’s and are ready for you whatever the weather.
