Product Description
Before ordering Hardwood logs we ask you to consider our Softwood logs along with our Champfleurie Briquettes.
Most Firewood suppliers in Scotland have had difficulty getting hardwoods this year. They usually have to be imported at up to twice the price they were 2 years ago.
Softwoods on the other hand are home grown and more sustainable.
The perception that hardwoods burn better than softwoods is nonsense, both have the same calorific value relative to weight and moisture content. Moreover, If you mix our softwood logs with our briquettes (see the Lairds Choice Softwoods on our website) you will get more heat than from hardwood logs and save money. Our Air-Dried Softwood Logs are about 35% cheaper. Click here to go to the Air-Dried Softwood Logs
2 x Giant Builder's Bags (approx 300 kilos each) of Kiln-Dried, Woodsure Approved, Ready To Burn Hardwood Logs.
STORING THE LOGS
How you store these logs after we deliver them is very important. They should be removed from the bags and stored in a dry place. Always store briquettes in a dry place.
BURNING THE LOGS
For the very best results we thoroughly recommend burning our logs with our briquettes which when combined will produce more heat than hardwood logs on their own. We recommend using about two thirds log and one third briquette. This way you will get a hotter fire that will last longer. You can buy both cheaper by selecting the Lairds Choice in this section.
If you normally mix logs with coal why not try our briquette logs to replace the coal.
Note: By popular request we now include the smaller off-cuts in the bag as well as whole logs. These do not detract from the amount of good logs in each bag as they are random filled from our processing machine and fill the space left between the larger logs.
This is confirmed by the fact the bags are now at least 10% heavier than they were without the off-cuts.
The value of the off-cuts is first of all in saving the amount of kindling required to get a fire going and secondly for re-kindling a fire that has gone too low to get it going again by simply throwing on a whole log.
To get your fire going, see our selection of firelighters.

Important - Builder's Bag Price Comparison
When comparing prices of a 'builders bag' of logs please be aware. There are a number of different sizes of 'builders bags' on the market and we have discovered many suppliers are using an 80cm x 80cm x 80cm bag.
The reason we refer to our bags as Giant Builders Bags is they are much larger and hold over 40% more logs. We also over-fill them to make sure you are getting more than what the bag would normally hold. The logs are dropped into the bags from a hopper and mechanically shaken a few times while filling so with the bag stretched to its limit and over-filled we know that it holds around 0.9 of a cubic metre.
When you take this into account you will see you get much more value for money from our Giant Builders Bags.
We''ll let you to do the maths...
