Most people don't really think about the firewood they buy and where it comes from, but actually, it is a question everyone needs to think about. Firewood needs to come from ethical sources. It needs to come from forests that have been specifically grown for firewood. These forests are carefully thought through and sustainability is the key factor. It is always recommended that one buys firewood directly from the firewood manufacturer, as this way you get to know the quality of the firewood you are getting.
Good quality firewood
Good quality firewood from firewood suppliers is not just about ensuring that the firewood is from an ethical forest and ethical supplier, but it is about firewood that makes good fires. There is nothing worse than spending money on firewood, only to find that it is wet, does not catch fire, and gives off little heat. Firewood is not such a cheap commodity and so you want to make sure that the firewood you get is worth the cost. Buy firewood directly from the firewood suppliers and you can be assured of getting good quality firewood.
It may be tempting to buy firewood from the little shop on the corner, or from the guy selling firewood on the side of the road, but we don't advice this. While it is nice to support local, buying firewood through a third party means that your prices are going to be higher and you might just land up with poor quality firewood too. You also don't know where the firewood comes down, and if trees have been chopped down illegally for the firewood. Even if you are buying small amounts of firewood, buy directly from the suppliers. You can pick up the firewood directly from the warehouse, or you can have it delivered to your home, farm or place of work and get ethical firewood only.
