Kiln-dried logs for Skipton homes.
Every log we sell is kiln dried at the Gargrave yard to 20% moisture or less, then cut to about 25cm, a length that sits happily in most wood burners, multi-fuel stoves and open fires. Not sure where to start? Our Kiln Dried Mixed Hardwoods are our best seller: two or more hardwoods in each bag, from beech, sycamore, ash, oak, alder and silver birch, depending on what we're processing at the time. Ash burns hot, clean and steady and is a stove favourite. Oak is dense and slow, made for a long evening in. Silver birch lights easily and burns bright, and the smaller-cut birch suits compact stoves.
See today's price on each bag below, and don't miss our Ash and Oak offer.
Kiln Dried Silver Birch
Lights easily, burns bright. Lovely bark.
Kiln Dried Silver Birch, Smaller Logs
Smaller in diameter, for compact stoves.
Firewood delivery in Skipton and the Craven villages.
Order online at any hour, or ring the office on 01756 748342 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm). At checkout you tell us two things: where the bags should go, and any days you can't take a delivery. We plan the runs from Gargrave and text or call you once your day is booked. If we know where to leave them, you don't need to be home.
We cover all of BD23. That's the town itself, plus Embsay, Carleton-in-Craven, Broughton, Thornton-in-Craven, Cracoe, Rylstone, Hellifield, Long Preston, Bolton Abbey and on up to Malham, where our run goes out every week. Grassington and Upper Wharfedale have their own page.
A bulk bag measures 0.85m each way, so measure any gate or passage it has to fit through. Terraces with no front drive, cottages by the canal and farm tracks up the dale all get logs, but say at checkout where you'd like them: on the drive, by the gate, in the garage. Living on or just off the High Street? Add a note, because the market is there on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Log suppliers in Skipton you can ring.
We've been delivering logs since 2009, and the kiln is only in Gargrave, so logs bound for Skipton haven't travelled far. Got a question about your stove or a booking? Ring us and you'll speak to people who handle the logs every day.
Our logs are certified under Woodsure's Ready to Burn scheme (certificate WS226/00001, kindling WS226/00002). In England, wood sold in amounts under 2 cubic metres has to carry that certification, which means a moisture content of no more than 20% (GOV.UK). We sell by the bag, by volume rather than weight, and the logs stay in the bag when they're dropped off, so there's less mess on the drive. If that bag needs a home, our small log store (1.2m high) holds about one bulk bag.
Smoke control in Skipton: what you can burn.
Skipton's council has been North Yorkshire Council since Craven District Council was replaced on 1 April 2023. Its smoke control page says the majority of Skipton is in a smoke control area, and links to a map of the Skipton zones so you can check your street. Gargrave and the Dales villages aren't named there, but the map is the one to trust for your address.
In general terms, inside a smoke control area you can't let smoke out of a chimney, and wood can only go on an appliance Defra lists as exempt, burning the fuel its maker specifies. Without one, you're limited to authorised fuels. GOV.UK sets out the rules, and our guide to what you can burn in a smoke control area walks through them. That's a summary, not legal advice, so if in doubt, check with the council.
Pizza oven logs in Skipton.
For a wood-fired pizza oven, our extra small logs are mixed hardwood cut small for exactly that job. They're also handy in fire pits, wood-fired hot tubs and small fireplaces. Living in a smoke control area doesn't rule the garden oven out: North Yorkshire Council explains that the rules deal with smoke from buildings rather than burning in the open, so outdoor pizza ovens and barbecues are fine. The exception is anything that sends smoke up a chimney in a building, such as a stove in a summerhouse. Add a bag of kindling, and read our guide to pizza oven logs before the first bake.
Skipton questions.
Do you deliver to Gargrave, Embsay and Carleton?
Yes, they're all BD23, and Gargrave is where our yard is.
Can I collect logs from your yard instead?
Yes, though yard visits are by appointment only. Ring the office to arrange it and pay in advance over the phone, so the order is ready when you pull in.
Is Skipton a smoke control area?
Most of it is, according to North Yorkshire Council. Check the council's Skipton map for your address. Inside a zone, burn wood only on a Defra-exempt appliance.
Will you tell me which day you're coming?
Yes. We book your day and text or call you. We can't promise a particular day when you order, but you can tell us at checkout the days that don't suit.
