Free delivery within 30 miles, Monday to Friday. Minimum order £80.
Anyone buying fire logs in Halifax can borrow a checklist from Calderdale Council. Its guide to buying, storing and seasoning wood says kiln-dried wood should have a moisture content of 20% or less, and that the Ready to Burn logo means a supplier has shown this through independent testing. Damp logs, the same guide warns, are hard to light, blacken stove glass, make a lot of smoke and give less heat.
Ours pass both tests: kiln dried at Gargrave to 20% moisture or less, and certified Ready to Burn. For long evenings, Kiln Dried Oak is dense and slow burning. Mixed Hardwoods are a good all-rounder for any stove, and anyone with a big wood burner can go for the larger logs, cut wider in diameter. Not sure they'll fit your firebox? Give the office a ring first.

Firewood delivery across Halifax follows a few simple steps. Order on the website whenever suits, or by phone during office hours. We slot your address into one of our regular runs, then text or call you to confirm the day. The checkout notes are where you mention any days you'll be away and the spot you'd like the bags left; once we know that, you don't have to be in.
The HX districts we cover:
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority describes Calderdale as more than four-fifths rural, with moorland, river valleys and woodland. If you're in a hillside terrace with steps to the door, on a cobbled back lane or at the end of a farm track, describe the spot in your checkout notes. Mention tight gateways too: a bulk bag measures 0.85m each way.
Two questions matter when you choose between log suppliers in Halifax: is the wood properly dry, and can you talk to someone? On the first, every log is kiln dried in our own yard and carries our Ready to Burn certificate, WS226/00001. On the second, the office in Gargrave answers 01756 748342 on weekdays, 8am to 5pm. We've been delivering since 2009. Logs are sold by the bulk bag, which is a volume of 0.85m by 0.85m by 0.85m, and they're left in it, so there's no loose pile to barrow round the back.
Calderdale Council's smoke pollution page is plain about it: emitting smoke from a domestic chimney in a smoke control area is an offence, and wood is not an authorised fuel. The exception is an exempt appliance, burning only the fuels named in its exemption. The council also patrols the borough from time to time to look for smoking chimneys.
To see whether your street is covered, open the council's environmental map and choose "Smoke control areas" in the legend. GOV.UK explains the national rules and links Defra's lists of exempt stoves and authorised fuels. A common mix-up: the Ready to Burn mark is about moisture, so it vouches for the logs, not for your stove. We can't give legal advice, but Calderdale's environmental health team can.
Looking for pizza oven logs in Halifax? Our extra small logs are kiln-dried mixed hardwood, cut extra small for wood-fired ovens. They're just as handy in a fire pit, a wood-fired hot tub or a small fireplace, so one bag can take you from summer pizza nights to autumn evenings round the pit.
Outdoor cooking isn't caught by smoke control either: GOV.UK confirms that outdoor barbecues, chimineas, fireplaces and pizza ovens can be used in smoke control areas. Dry wood still matters outdoors, for the reasons in Calderdale's guide. If your oven runs on gas, these logs aren't for it. The pizza oven logs guide has more on getting an oven going.
Yes. Elland is HX5, and Sowerby Bridge and Ripponden are both HX6. All are on our Halifax runs, with free delivery on orders of £80 or more.
Parts of Calderdale are under smoke control orders. The council's environmental map shows which, once you switch on the smoke control layer.
Describe the steps and where you'd like the bags in your checkout notes, or ring the office before ordering if access is tricky. Nets of ash are far easier to carry up steps than a bulk bag.
Yes, HX7 is covered as well, on the same terms as the rest of Calderdale.
