If you’re in the market for firewood, it is tempting to head to a big-name retailer like B&M, B&Q or even Tesco. But before you make that purchase, consider the many reasons why buying firewood from B&M and other large retailers may not be the best decision. We’re not saying that these stores don’t have a place – of course, they do – even we have used them to get logs for home use on the way home sometimes! They are convenient and great places to shop if you need a few logs to tide you over, but they often fall short in terms of value.
In this blog post, we’ll explore why you should avoid buying from big retailers and instead choose The Burn A Log Company!
Quality Matters
When you buy firewood for B&M, you don’t know how the firewood has been stored before being put on the shelf. At The Burn A Log Company, we know where and how our firewood is stored and know that we are providing the highest quality firewood that will keep you warm all winter long.
Value For Money
Buying firewood from B&M might seem like a convenient option, but those small bags of logs come at a premium price. Much like if you went to the Co-op for your weekly shop, you’ll end up paying more per log compared to buying in bulk. Plus, with bigger retailers, you’re limited to whatever quantity they have on hand, which may not be enough to see you through. With an independent retailer, such as us, you can buy in bulk which will save you money in the long run.

Supporting Local Business
There is something to be said for supporting local businesses, which is what you do if you buy your firewood from independent retailers, such as ourselves. When you buy from us, you’re supporting local jobs and the local economy and your support really means a lot to us – it’s why we strive to provide the best service possible!
Expertise
With bigger retailers, firewood is just another product on the shelf. The employees may not have the expertise that a dedicated log company has, and likely won’t be able to offer advice on how to store and burn it properly. With us, we are experts in what we do and we are always happy to help and share our knowledge with our customers. Whether you know your way around a log burner or are totally new to the experience, we are here for you. We can recommend the best products, provide tips on how to get the most out of your delivery of logs and answer any questions you may have. This service is something you won’t find with a bigger retailer.
While buying firewood from B&M might seem like an easy solution, it’s not the best choice in the long term. By choosing The Burn A Log Company, you’re opting for premium firewood that is ‘Ready to Burn’ certified and delivered right to your door. Plus, we offer bulk delivery, stacking, and expert advice – not to mention that we care about our customers and their experience.
