Choosing kiln-dried logs in Ilkley.
Start with the appliance rather than the tree. Any wood burner, multi-fuel stove or open fire that takes a standard log will be happy with ours: cut to about 25cm, give or take 2cm, and kiln dried to 20% moisture or less. After that it's taste. Ash gives hot, clean, steady heat. Oak is dense and slow, the one for a long night by the fire. Silver birch lights easily, and its bark helps it catch. Mixed hardwoods, our best seller, are the safe all-rounder if you can't decide.
Got a big wood burner with a deep firebox? Our larger mixed hardwood logs are wider than the standard cut and only suit bigger appliances, so call the office first if you're unsure. See today's price on each card below.

Logs delivered in Ilkley reach every corner of LS29: the town centre, Ben Rhydding, Addingham, and Middleton across the river. Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston share the postcode and have a page of their own.
Ilkley climbs from the Wharfe up the flanks of the moor, so plenty of homes sit up sloping roads and drives. Tell us at checkout exactly where the bag should go. A bulk bag is 0.85m each way, so if it has to pass a narrow gate in a stone wall, measure first. Ilkley's conservation area is a big one, over 650 hectares, so if you'd rather the bag sat out of sight than at the front, just say.
Is Ilkley in a smoke control area?
Ilkley comes under City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The council's published smoke control data lists 99 zones, named for Bradford, Keighley, Bingley, Shipley, Baildon and Queensbury. When we checked it in October 2026, none of them covered Ilkley, Ben Rhydding or Addingham.
Boundaries can be varied, so look up your own address on the map linked from Bradford Council's smoke control page before relying on that. Inside a zone, wood may only be burned on an appliance Defra has exempted, as GOV.UK explains. Our guide to what you can burn in a smoke control area goes further. It's a general summary, not legal advice.
Log suppliers for Ilkley: a yard, a kiln and a phone number.
Everything we bring to Ilkley was kiln dried at our own yard in Gargrave, and we've been delivering logs since 2009. Woodsure certifies our logs Ready to Burn (WS226/00001), and the kindling too (WS226/00002). Since logs sold in England in amounts under 2 cubic metres must carry that mark, confirming 20% moisture or less (GOV.UK), it's worth checking for, whoever you buy from. We sell by volume, one bulk bag at 0.85m x 0.85m x 0.85m, not by weight. When something needs sorting, you ring the office and talk to us.
Pizza oven logs in Ilkley, and a word about the moor.
Our extra small logs are mixed hardwood cut down for wood-fired pizza ovens, and they suit fire pits, wood-fired hot tubs and small fireplaces as well. GOV.UK says outdoor pizza ovens, chimineas and barbecues are allowed even in smoke control areas, so the garden is fair game. The moor is not. Bradford Council, which owns Ilkley Moor, has an order banning barbecues and fires on publicly accessible moorland across the district until 30 June 2028. Keep the flames at home, and see our guides to pizza oven logs and fire pit logs.

Is Ilkley in a smoke control area?
When we checked Bradford Council's smoke control data in October 2026, no zone covered Ilkley, Ben Rhydding or Addingham. Check the council's map for your address, as boundaries can change.
My drive slopes up from the road. What should I do?
Tell us at checkout exactly where you want the bags. If access looks awkward, ring the office before you order so we can talk it through.
Can I take a fire pit up onto the moor?
No. Bradford Council's order bans barbecues and fires on publicly accessible moorland in the district. Use the extra small logs in your garden instead.
