If you’re looking for a lovely all-round firewood, British ash is a wonderful place to start. Often called the king of home fires, it lights easily, produces a beautiful, bright flame and settles into a steady, comforting warmth. It’s just the sort of firewood you want for those cosy evenings at home, when there’s nothing better than lighting the wood burner, putting your feet up and enjoying the fire.
Our British ash logs are carefully kiln-dried to a target moisture content of around 12%, with some logs even drier. They arrive ready to burn, so there’s no need to worry about seasoning or storing them for months before use. The low moisture content helps your fire get going and means more of the wood’s energy can go towards warming your home, rather than evaporating excess water.
Every 50 litre BurnBox is packed by hand, with a little extra care taken to make the most of the space. We fit the logs together snugly, keeping gaps to a minimum so you get a generously filled box. You can expect roughly 20 substantial logs, although the exact number will naturally vary depending on their shape and thickness. Each log measures between 20cm and 25cm long, making them a practical size for most household wood burners and fireplaces.
Our boxed firewood is particularly handy if you enjoy a real fire but don’t have room to store a large supply of logs. Simply order a box whenever you need one, or arrange regular deliveries through our flexible subscription service. DPD will deliver straight to your chosen address, leaving you with a neat, manageable box that’s easy to tuck away somewhere dry until you’re ready to enjoy it.
When it’s time to light the fire, start with some kindling and smaller pieces of wood to get a good flame going, then add your ash logs in accordance with your stove or fireplace instructions. Before long, you’ll have a lovely, welcoming fire with dancing flames and a gentle, steady warmth.
British ash is dependable, easy to enjoy and a pleasure to burn. Just good, honest firewood for all those evenings when a real fire makes being at home that little bit nicer.
A lovely choice for everyday fires, whether you’re warming a cosy cottage, a family home, a flat or a holiday let. Ash is also well suited to properly installed wood burners in boats and campervans, provided they accommodate 20cm to 25cm logs. Always check your appliance instructions and local smoke-control regulations.
We believe good firewood should care for the countryside it comes from. That’s why we source our British timber from Forestry Commission woodlands, where responsible woodland management helps protect and maintain our forests for future generations.
Our logs are kiln-dried using residual heat from our nearby biomass plant, making good use of energy that might otherwise go to waste. Even the sawdust has a purpose. It becomes bedding for local poultry sheds before being returned to the land as a natural fertiliser for the crops that help fuel the biomass plant. It’s a wonderfully practical cycle that makes the most of our natural resources.
Every BurnBox is carefully packed by hand into recyclable cardboard, keeping unnecessary packaging to a minimum. And when your logs are ready, they’re brought straight to your door by DPD through their carbon-neutral UK delivery service.
From responsibly managed woodland to your wood burner, we believe in making thoughtful choices at every stage. Because enjoying the warmth of a real fire should go hand in hand with caring for the countryside we all love.
