Lakes Wood Fuel supplies high‑quality, barn‑stored, well‑seasoned firewood with a moisture content below 20%. All our logs are Woodsure Ready to Burn accredited, ensuring a clean, efficient burn that’s perfect for wood‑burning stoves, log burners and open fires across the Lake District and Cumbria.
Our timber is responsibly sourced and prepared to deliver maximum heat output. Each log is either seasoned for 6–12 months or kiln‑dried, then stored in ventilated barns to promote consistent drying. This careful process produces premium firewood that lights easily, burns hotter, and helps reduce smoke and soot.
Logs are cut to approximately 20–25cm (8–10 inches). Their size and split make them ideal efficient everyday.
Hardwood vs Softwood – Which one is right for me?
Choosing between hardwood and softwood depends on how you use your fire and the type of heat you prefer. Hardwood logs are dense and slow‑burning, giving you long‑lasting, steady heat that’s ideal for keeping your stove or fire going through the evening. Softwood logs ignite quickly and burn hotter, making them perfect for getting your fire established or when you want fast, immediate warmth.
For the best results, we recommend using a mixture of both: softwood to get the fire going, and hardwood to maintain a cosy, efficient burn. Our firewood bundles offer excellent value, combining hardwood, softwood and kindling to give you everything you need for keeping your home cosy.
