Hardwood logs

Anyone know where in Central Scotland I can get cheap hardwood logs for my chiminea please.
Will be lovely sitting out at night with the chiminea on, what with the good summer we have been promised:rolleyes:

if you can get your hands on broken whisky barrels they burn great with very little smoke

They would be ideal but where could I get some? Any ideas?

My supply of wood came from builders skips in the past. Amazing what hardwoods they throw out!

theres a cooperage in the industrial estate at the end of the m74 (cambuslang) might be worth a look there for old broken barrels.

I got logs from the Garden Centre - used to be called Sandyholmes..but now a dobbies......a big bag for 6 quid

Just pop in to your local sawmill (Yellow Pages or ask around), they usually sell logs by the bag or the van-load and should be much cheaper than a garden centre etc. Also, take a look in your local papers for adverts....though it's more commonly advertised in autumn/winter.

We got our logs in a farm between eaglesham and waterfoot its a barn and you can choose your own logs fill up the sack and pay.

Got a decent sized bag for £3.99 from Crocketts the Ironmongers in Falkirk. Hopefully the weather picks up so we can use them or its soggy logs all round :rolleyes:
