Why Buying Kiln Dried Logs Locally Pays Off
Buying kiln dried logs locally is one of the simplest ways to keep your home warm. It cuts your costs and supports a business near you at the same time. When you order from a nearby supplier, you get fresher stock and faster delivery. You also get a friendly face who knows the area you live in.
Anchor Logs has delivered kiln dried hardwood logs across the Skipton and Yorkshire Dales area since 2009. Below, we explain what makes our logs different. We also show why buying kiln dried logs locally simply makes sense.
What makes kiln dried logs different
Kiln dried logs are dried in a controlled kiln until the moisture inside drops right down. Because of that low moisture, they light easily. They also burn with a strong, clean flame. Ordinary unseasoned wood holds far more water. So it smoulders, smokes, and wastes much of its heat.
All of our logs are kiln dried to a moisture content of around 15% to 20%. We are also accredited under the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme. The government has phased out the sale of wet logs and house coal to help cut air pollution. So choosing properly dried wood matters more than ever. You can read more about our standards on our Ready to Burn page.
Why buying kiln dried logs locally matters
When you buy kiln dried logs locally, the benefits stack up quickly. First, delivery is faster and kinder to the planet. Your logs travel a short distance rather than halfway across the country. Second, you can rely on a real person. They answer the phone and remember your name.
There is a money side too. We deliver free across our area. We also text you the day before, so you can plan ahead. For bigger orders, we offer a discount of five pounds per bag. This applies when you buy four bags or more in one delivery. So the more you stock up, the more you save.
- Faster, free delivery with a text the day before.
- Bulk discount of five pounds per bag on four bags or more.
- Friendly local service from a family that knows the area.
Quality you can rely on
Our logs are mixed seasonal hardwoods. These include beech, ash, oak, silver birch and sycamore. Because hardwood is dense, it burns longer and hotter than softwood. That means better value from every bag. We also cut our logs to a handy size of around 25 centimetres. So they fit most stoves and fire pits with ease.
Storage is easy too. Kept somewhere dry and airy, kiln dried logs stay in great condition for a long time. Do you need somewhere to put them? Our log stores arrive fully assembled. They keep everything neat and dry through the seasons.
We are always happy to help you choose. For example, a quick message can size up your order in minutes. So you never end up buying more than you need. In short, buying local takes the guesswork out of staying warm. Above all, it means a fire that lights first time, every time.
