Why Autumn Is The Best Time To Stock Up On Firewood In Fife
The first properly cold evening of autumn usually brings the same reminder: it’s time to get the fire going again.
Across Fife, wood-burning stoves and open fires start returning to regular use as the evenings draw in, which also makes this a good time to check just how much firewood you have left from last winter. Ordering early means you can get your log store stocked and ready before colder weather makes that supply considerably more important.
Don’t Wait Until The First Cold Snap
It’s easy to put off ordering logs while the days are still relatively mild. The problem is that Scottish weather rarely gives much warning before autumn begins to feel decidedly wintry. Having a good supply of firewood already stored at home means you aren’t thinking about your next order every time the temperature drops. It also gives you time to make sure your logs are stored somewhere dry and well ventilated. We covered storage in more detail in our previous article, Getting Your Log Store Ready For A Scottish Winter, including why airflow and protection from rain are so important.
Kiln-Dried Or Seasoned Logs?
At Logsfife, we supply both seasoned and kiln-dried logs to customers across Fife. Seasoned firewood is allowed to dry naturally over time, while kiln-dried timber is dried under controlled conditions. The reduced moisture content of properly dried firewood helps it light more easily and burn more effectively than wet or freshly cut wood. If you’re weighing up which option is right for your stove or fireplace, our guide to the benefits of kiln-dried firewood goes into the subject in more detail.
Get More From The Logs You Buy
Good firewood is only half of the equation. How you store and burn it also influences how much useful heat you get from each log. Keep your firewood off damp ground, protect it from direct rain and allow air to circulate around the stack. Bringing a small amount indoors ahead of use can also ensure you have dry logs ready when it’s time to light the fire. It’s a simple routine, but over an entire Fife winter it can make managing your firewood supply considerably easier.
Get Your Winter Firewood Sorted
If your log store is starting to look empty, now is the time to fill it rather than waiting for the coldest part of winter.
