When it comes to buying firewood, understanding the difference between stacked and loose filled volumes is essential, especially if you're trying to compare suppliers or ensure you’re getting good value. At Certainly Wood, we believe in complete transparency, and that includes helping our customers make informed decisions when it comes to volume, pricing, and how our firewood is packed.

A tricky question to answer as it will depend on so many factors:

• The efficiency of your stove
• The size of your property
• How well insulated your property is.
• How often the stove is used
• What the outside temperature is 
• How you use your stove – burning on full airflow all the time or on low heat.

However, this is a common question we get asked, so here’s some guidance to give you some idea. Assuming you use the most efficient fuel – kiln dried- in an average year, you will likely use 3-4 cubic metres of firewood. Remember that you will use significantly more wood if it is not dry because it provides far less heat energy  – up to twice as much.

Our extra-large crates are a great bulk option for keeping stocked up over winter. Shop crates.

When it comes to choosing the best firewood, hardwood generally performs best for long, efficient burns. Put simply, hardwoods are denser than softwoods, which means they burn hotter and for longer, making them ideal for wood burners and indoor heating. Softwoods, on the other hand, catch alight more quickly and produce a fast, bright flame, which makes them a good option for kindling or quick fires.

Both have their advantages, but hardwood tends to deliver greater heat output and consistency, especially for regular home use.

At Certainly Wood, we’re here to help you choose the right firewood for maximum performance and efficiency. Here are the key differences to help guide your decision.

There is a real difference between kiln dried and seasoned logs and the type you choose can affect how well your fire burns. Put simply, kiln dried logs have been dried in a kiln to a consistent low moisture level, while seasoned logs are air-dried over time. Both can be used on your stove or fireplace, but the performance can vary. That's because of the difference in moisture content. Logs with an optimum moisture content of 15%-20 % ignite more easily, burn more efficiently, and produce less smoke. 

At Certainly Wood, we’ve spent years helping you get the very best from your wood-burning experience. Here are the key differences to help you choose the right logs for your needs.

Our standard logs are cut to 25cm (+/- 10%). After consulting with most UK stove manufacturers, we have determined that these logs will fit 99% of UK stoves. The diameter of our standard logs is 5-15cm, measured at the widest point. This specification allows smaller logs to build a good fire base and larger ones for a longer burn. 

In addition to the standard 25cm logs, we also offer logs with a length of 35cm and 50cm for larger fires or stoves. The longer logs have a slightly larger diameter than the 25cm logs.
