The importance of ‘ Ready To Burn ’ Fuel : We sell Woodsure accredited , ready to burn kiln dried logs which comply with legisltaion enforced in May 2021 . These Regulations were introduced in England to legislate against the sale of more polluting types of fuels and the impact is on the manufacturers and suppliers , not the end user . The legislation requires wood sold in volumes under 2 cubic metres to be certified as Ready to Burn , containing no more than 20 % moisture content . For manufactured solid fuels , again , they must be Ready to Burn certified , demonstrating that they do not have a sulphur content of 2 % or more calculated on an ash-free dry basis ; and the emission of smoke will not exceed a rate of five grams or more an hour .
As we have already outlined , the government already banned the sale of wet wood back in May 2021 , with a coal ban being enforced in May 2023 . These are materials that emit high concentrations of fine particulates . In fact , burning a dry wood log can reduce emissions by 50 % compared to a log which has not been dried .
Please contact us on 0151 632 1610 for any more information or to place an order for all your fuel needs including kiln dried logs , woodcoal , firelighters , kindling and coffee logs with free local delivery on bulk orders .
Simply look for the ‘ Ready to Burn ’ certification marks when purchasing firewood , which are displayed in our showroom , for immediate use and for manufactured solid fuels . If you are purchasing wood in volumes over 2 cubic metres , you will need to have adequate space to store and season the firewood until it is no more than 20 % moisture content .
You have likely seen enforcement concerns around wood burning this year in the news . Ensuring you burn high-quality fuels that are right for your appliance will reduce the particulates released into the air . Burning low-quality fuels can emit more particulates which , when mixed with other emissions in your chimney , can affect your health . Here is a guide on the latest legislation to be enforced to ensure you are safely burning the correct fuel .
This government plan was introduced in January 2023 and is the first such review of the 25 Year Environment Plan ( 25YEP ), published in 2019 . There are ten clear goals in the plan , with a wide variety of environmental targets , including clean air and water , climate change and enhancing biosecurity .
To tackle emissions from the home , the government is aiming to better manage domestic burning , particularly in areas with high emissions , including urban areas where housing and traffic are denser .
