Question 5

What is best to burn on my new multifuel or wood burning stove?

Accepted Answer

We would always recommend Kiln dried logs approved under Woodsure's "Read to Burn" logs, these logs have been tested and passed to be able to burn straight away on your stove, without the need for seasoning or extra drying time. They have a low moisture content so will give you more heat. If you are seasoning your own logs a moisture meter is essential to test them.

Question 6

When is the best time to buy a stove?

Accepted Answer

The heating season usually runs from September to March and lead times can be anything up to 6-8 weeks from ordering, especially if the weather is cold. If you are remodelling the chimney breast and wanting to redecorate afterwards, over the Summer months is best, lead time on stoves are minimal and you can be ready for the Summer buy offers on logs and kindling.
