Who Are We?

Founded in September 2013, Woodshire is a reputable supplier of sustainable, dry, and high-quality hardwood logs. Our custom-made log storage and kiln are based in Stourbridge, near the town centre. Unlike many other local firewood sellers, we take pride in producing logs that are carefully dried and ready for use.

At Woodshire, we understand the importance of using top-quality logs for your wood-burning needs. Our hardwood logs are meticulously sourced, ensuring they meet the highest standards. Whether you’re heating your home or enjoying a cosy fire, our logs provide consistent and efficient burning.

2. Sustainable Practices

Log Types and Burn Rates

The rate at which a log burns in a wood-burning stove depends on various factors. Here are some considerations:

• Log Size: Larger logs burn more slowly than smaller ones. Choose the right log size based on your stove’s capacity and desired burn time.
• Wood Types: Different wood species have varying burn rates. Hardwoods like oak, beech, and ash tend to burn longer and hotter than softwoods.
• Stove Efficiency: A well-maintained stove with proper airflow ensures efficient combustion.

Removing Moisture from Wood (to Burn)

To prepare logs for burning, consider these drying methods:

• Air Drying: Air drying takes several months but is a natural way to reduce moisture content.
• Kiln Drying: Kiln-dried logs are ready for use much faster. Our kiln-drying process ensures optimal moisture levels.
• Vacuum Drying and Surface Drying: These methods are less common but can be effective for specific situations.
