Indoor Storage
Ready to Burn logs are already low in moisture, and more readily catch alight. Placing logs or other combustible materialtoo near to heat sources may cause them to ignite.
The Ready to Burn scheme is supported by Defra, HETAS, The SIA and is overseen by an industry governance panel.
Ready to Burn wood is dried to 20% moisture content or less so consumers can take bags of Ready to Burn firewood home to burn straight away.
