As consumers, we are all lucky to have more choice than ever before, and selecting heating for our homes is no exception. But despite the wide choice of alternatives, authentic traditional firewood still gives homely, comforting warmth that nothing else can match. Ofcourse there are fewer places to buy quality wood than there used to be, so eagle-eyed keen consumers are always on the lookout for a reliable supplier. If you’re looking to buy logs in Havant and the surrounding area you need look no further than Logs for Sale Portsmouth. You’ll not only get a great price, you’ll get helpful advice and useful tips on getting the most out of your logs.
For example, when selecting logs be sure to pick only untreated and naturally seasoned wood. This is because a tree contains a huge amount of moisture that is collected by the tree’s roots and circulated throughout the tree by a vein like structure in the wood itself. Once cut, it takes a minimum of six months to season logs before they are suitable for use as firewood.
It is also difficult to get “green” unseasoned wood to catch fire in the first place, and when you finally get it burning its heat output is less than that of properly seasoned wood. Unseasoned wood produces more smoke and creosote, which means more cleaning and can even increase the risk of a chimney fire.

So how can you pick out seasoned wood from unseasoned? Logs for Sale Portsmouth point out, that there are different ‘signs’ to help you. Firstly, seasoned wood is lighter than green wood. The water content in wood can increase its weight by up to 50%. The most accurate way to measure water content is a moisture meter. These are easily available and inexpensive. Properly seasoned wood will contain less than 12% water. Be careful not use any wood that contains over 16% moisture. If you do not have a moisture meter, look for seasoned firewood that has a darker appearance and produces a hollow sound when knocked together.

As well as these precautions make sure the firewood you choose is not stained or painted or shows any sign of glue. Any of these can result in burning wood that emits foul smelling smoke that is bad for the environment and as well as your neighbours!
