Firewood Price Guide

6 Posts

Recently moved into a home with a wood burner & was getting tired of being charged £9.00 for logs at the petrol garage. My Dad forwarded a price guide found at the bottom of a webpage by a firewood supplier White Horse Energy - https://www.whitehorseenergy.co.uk/firewood/firewood-knowledge-base/firewood-price-guide
Is this widely used by others? Is it reliable? Lastly, keen to get a consensus as to if there are cheaper ways to get dried logs?

We pay £65.00 for a tonne bag of dry ash, I have seen mixed hard/soft wood for £50.00 a tonne bag. You do need somewhere out of the weather to stack your firewood though, we have a wooden crate with a lid which takes about 1.5 bags when full.
Buying from an Internet supplier means you are paying for the carrier charge, even if they include it in the price, that's normally £30.00 or more. If you can buy locally it will save that and probably be more sustainable.

We use a lot of our own wood but top it up from a local logs supplier. There are about a dozen or so log suppliers in the area. So, not spoilt for choice. Bagged wood of around 1.3m are great but you typically pay around £30 more than loose wood for about 1.5m. The latter makes you work a bit but its a fine work out.
