Free Firewood - Local to West Devon/SE Cornwall

Sorry this is a local one but,

Tavistock Woodland Sawmills in Gulworthy, Devon are giving away firewood.

It comes in 8ft or 16ft long bundles, so you need a trailer or a flatbed to collect it. These are basically the outer slabs/slices from the trunks (that they can't do anything else with) as they are cut into planks.

You will also need a chainsaw to cut it into the right lengths for your fire. But each 8ft bundle weighs around 1 1/2 tonne.

  • Tavistock Woodland Sawmill stopped giving the bundles of slabwood away in 2008 as all their sawmill slabwood is contracted out for biomass. But they do sell bags of offcuts for £2 a bag.
