Although there hasn’t been much of it this summer, when the sun is beating down and the BBQs are burning burgers, the last thing on most people’s minds is stocking up on firewood. Holidays, weekends in the garden, deciding what to do with the kids during school holidays, and trips to the beach often take over. So we get that preparing for the colder months and your log store slips by the wayside.
However, buying logs in the summer is one of the smartest moves you can make and is what we recommend all our customers do to ensure they are ready for the winter. Here’s why:
Better Availability
We’ve all done it, but waiting until the last minute to stock up on your kiln-dried logs can be risky. Luckily, we have readily available stock all year round, but the demand for kiln-dried logs skyrockets as the weather turns colder. This demand can lead to shortages, and you may find yourself scrambling to find options and may even end up with lower-quality wood for your fire. Buying logs in the summer lets you know you’re getting the best quality and have stock available when the weather inevitably turns.
Optimal Dryness
Our ‘Ready-to-Burn Certified’ logs are known for their low moisture content and typically sit around 20% or less, which makes them perfect for burning compared to seasoned wood. Although all of our logs are dry-stored, buying logs in the summer and storing them yourself, means that you are storing your logs as you want them to be stored and are ensuring the wood preserves its quality. This means they are in perfect condition for when winter rolls around.
Convenience and Peace of Mind
When the first cold snap hits, you don’t want to have a mad rush to source suitable firewood. Buying logs in the summer means you will eliminate this stress, entirely. Your firewood will be on hand, ready to go, leaving you to snuggle up with the latest show on Netflix and thoroughly enjoy the warmth of your fireplace without the hassle of last-minute shopping. There’s something to be said for knowing that you have taken care of an essential slice of winter well in advance.
Supporting Local Business
As you’d expect, the need for our services diminishes significantly as the months turn warmer. In buying from The Burn A Log Company in the summer, you’re helping us continue trading in the slower months. As a family-owned and independent business, your support is crucial to ensuring that we can continue to provide you with the high-quality products and services you have come to expect, which we love to do and want to continue doing! It really is a win-win situation: you get top-quality firewood and your purchase helps us sustain our business. And we genuinely appreciate every single person who has ordered from us – thank you!
In conclusion, buying early is a smart and economical decision you won’t regret. Don’t wait until the cold sets in – make your purchase now and enjoy a cosy, stress-free winter.
