Storing fuel correctly

It is essential to burn the right fuel for your new appliance to work correctly. Wet wood will not provide the required heat output and will cause your flue to narrow and eventually blocked. This will decrease efficiency and increase pollution to your local environment. New regulations are driving out low-quality fuels to reduce harmful particulates, and typically it is recommended that you burn wood with moisture content lower than 20%. The drier the wood, the better.

Good fuel storage is essential as correctly stored wood will season and provide better-quality fuel for your new appliance. Well-ventilated areas such as garages or sheds are ideal places for fuel storage. However, if you need to store wood outside, we can design and build a log store to suit your situation.
