Kiln Dried Silver Birch
Lights easily, burns bright. Lovely bark.
Craven and the Dales · BD24
Settle, Giggleswick and the villages up Ribblesdale get free delivery of kiln-dried logs from us, Monday to Friday, on orders from £80. The logs are dried at our yard in Gargrave, about 9 miles from Settle, so they don't come far.
Free delivery within 30 miles, Monday to Friday. Minimum order £80.
In an old stone cottage or a new build, most stoves and open fires take our standard log: about 25cm long and kiln dried to 20% moisture or less. Silver Birch is the easy lighter, bright and quick to catch, helped along by its bark. If your stove is on the small side, the smaller birch logs are cut to suit it. Oak burns dense and slow for the long evenings, ash runs hot and clean, and mixed hardwoods cover a bit of everything.
To get going, add kindling or a bag of Woodcycle firelighters, which Woodcycle says are made in the UK from recycled waste wood, recycled candle wax and plastic-free paper and burn for around 8 minutes. Today's price is on each card.

Lights easily, burns bright. Lovely bark.

Smaller in diameter, for compact stoves.


Our best seller. A good all-rounder for any stove.


Natural, no smell
Put your order in online, or phone 01756 748342 in office hours. The checkout has room for delivery notes: say where the bags should go and which weekdays are no good. Then we slot you into a run and text or call you with your day. Nobody needs to stay in.
BD24 takes in Settle and Upper Settle, Giggleswick across the river, Langcliffe, Stainforth, Rathmell and Horton in Ribblesdale. Long Preston and Hellifield are BD23, and we deliver there too. Austwick and Clapham sit in LA2, which is on our Bentham and Clapham page.
Settle's own conservation area appraisal describes stone cottages and houses "around steep lanes and narrow ginnels", and a bulk bag at 0.85m each way won't go down a ginnel. Tell us where it can sit instead, or pick silver birch nets you can carry through by hand. Further up the dale, mention gates, cattle grids or soft ground on the track. If you live on the Market Place, note that Tuesday is market day.
We've delivered logs since 2009, all of them dried in our own kiln at Gargrave. Each bag carries Woodsure's Ready to Burn certification (WS226/00001 for logs, WS226/00002 for kindling), the mark wood fuel needs in England when it's sold in volumes under 2 cubic metres, according to GOV.UK. You pay by the bag, a measured volume rather than a weight, and the logs arrive in it, which keeps the yard or drive tidy. Questions go to the office, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and you'll speak to people who know the logs.
Settle has been under North Yorkshire Council since Craven District Council was replaced in April 2023. For the old Craven area, the council's smoke control page names the majority of Skipton and parts of South Craven. Settle, Giggleswick and the Ribblesdale villages aren't on it. If you want to be certain about your address, ask the council. Where a zone does apply, GOV.UK's rules limit wood to Defra-exempt appliances. This is a summary, not legal advice.
Settle sits partly inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and on a clear evening a fire outside earns its keep. Our extra small logs are mixed hardwood cut small for wood-fired pizza ovens, and they suit fire pits, wood-fired hot tubs and small fireplaces as well. Light them with kindling, keep the bag somewhere dry (a log store helps), and read our guides on pizza oven logs and fire pit logs for getting the heat right.
Yes. All three are BD24, the same as Settle, so delivery is free once your order reaches £80.
Horton in Ribblesdale is BD24 and we cover it. For anywhere else, put your postcode into the checker at the top of this page.
Not usually. A bulk bag is 0.85m on each side. Tell us at checkout where it can be left nearby, or choose 40 litre nets instead.
North Yorkshire Council's smoke control page doesn't name Settle. It lists the majority of Skipton and parts of South Craven. Check with the council if you need to be sure.
