Small, quality logs needed for tiny log burner

[freshcoffee 10]

Been buying the big bags of logs from B&Q, but my log burner is really small. I can only fit logs 8 inches (maximum) in length into it, which makes life rather difficult. Half the logs in the bag won't fit inside!

 

Bought myself an axe to chop the bigger logs, but for many reasons this isn't practical for me. I also don't drive, so if anyone knows of someone who'd be able to deliver small logs to me (Hillsborough area) I'd be very grateful.

 

Thanks in advance

I don't understand why people buy logs from b n q, it's total and utter madness

Lots of people buy log burners for the wrong reason and have no idea

8 inches?

That is difficult.

Worth trying briquettes, perhaps, which can be broken up by hand; e.g.

Home bargains do some quite cheap, apparently, if you want to give them a try.

Our briquettes come in 50mm diameter by 50mm long , we can make them longer but we have found keeping them short gives you a really solid briquette which will burn longer and hotter ! We have loads of bags in stock, if anyone is interested we are based on leppings lane in Hillsborough

Are you dreaming

[amazon123 17]

A new log shop for wood burners has opened on Chesterfield Road opposite Lidl. It's called (helpfully) The Log Shop. Maybe try there.

how much are the briquettes crookesy ?

[crookesy 10]

15kg are £6 and 30kg are £10

we have found from customer feedback that a 15kg bag will last 4 days .

 

hope this helps

What is the wrong reason? What 'idea' should one have before purchasing a log burner?
