Finding a Wood Fuel Supplier

NEF produces a list of wood fuel suppliers (now available online), with an indication of the source of the wood, where that information has been made available to them. If there is no one on their list that is local, then other places to look are Yellow Pages under 'Firewood' or 'Treework' (tree surgeons). Alternatively, you can look in a local paper for small ads for loads of logs. Suppliers of wood will need to be questioned to ascertain:

That the wood is from a sustainable source Seasoned and for how long The type of wood being sold Whether the price quoted includes delivery The length and general size Quantity by volume or by weight

Some suppliers can specify what species of wood they are selling although often, especially in the case of wood sold by tree surgeons, it will be a mixed load containing soft and hardwoods.
