When the nights turn frosty and the Ribble Valley mist settles over the hills, there’s nothing better than the sound of a crackling log fire. At Empress Fencing in Clitheroe, we’re here to help you make the most of winter with premium kiln-dried Logs Delivered, handy fire-lighting tips, and free delivery on all orders over £150 for every BB postcode area. This is The Ultimate Winter Warmth Guide you can rely on, from choosing the right firewood to storing it properly and lighting it efficiently.
Why kiln-dried logs matter for a warm, efficient winter
Not all Log Suppliers Near Me burn the same. Our kiln-dried hardwood logs are dried to below 20% moisture, so they’re “ready to burn” certified. That means:
- A hotter, longer-lasting fire
- Less smoke and soot
- Cleaner stoves and chimneys
- More heat from fewer logs
If you’re after consistent warmth during the colder months, these ready-to-burn logs are your best bet. Whether you’re warming a cosy living room with an open fire, operating a log burner, or fuelling an outdoor stove, kiln-dried logs deliver efficiency and reliability, making The Ultimate Winter Warmth Guide a practical toolkit for Lancashire homes.
Step 1: Choose the right firewood for steady winter warmth
Step one is all about selecting the best logs for your needs. Kiln-dried hardwood logs are the star players in this game, offering quick ignition, stronger flames, and less creosote buildup. By prioritising quality firewood, you’ll reduce fuel usage while enjoying a steady, inviting burn.
- For the living room: Opt for hardwood logs with low moisture content to minimize smoke and maximize heat output.
- For frequent use: If you rely on a log burner or stove, kiln-dried logs burn efficiently with fewer emissions, helping you keep the home warm without frequent restocking.
- For outdoor warmth: Outdoor stoves benefit from the same readiness, delivering a robust flame for a long, cozy evening outside.
Tip: Pair your logs with kindling and firelighters to create a fast, reliable start, especially during chilly mornings or late-night gatherings.
Step 2: Know how much you’ll need to avoid winter shortages
A little planning goes a long way when temperatures drop. Here’s a straightforward guide for the colder months ahead:
- Occasional fires (once or twice a week): 1 bulk bag should last the winter.
- Regular users (a few nights a week): 2 bulk bags will keep you cosy.
- Daily users (log burner heating): 3–4 bulk bags will see you through until spring.
By estimating your needs and combining your order with kindling and firelighters, you can hit the £150 free delivery threshold more comfortably. And for BB postcode customers, we deliver with reliability across Blackburn, Burnley, Whalley, Waddington, and beyond.
Step 3: Store your logs correctly to preserve quality
Even kiln-dried logs benefit from proper storage. Keep logs in a dry, well-ventilated area such as a log store, shed, or garage. Stack them loosely to promote air flow and prevent dampness. Proper storage helps maintain ready-to-burn quality and ensures your first fire of the season catches quickly and cleanly.
Tips for storage:
- Elevate stacks to avoid ground moisture.
- Use a covered area to protect from wet weather.
- Keep a small reserve close to the firing area for easy access.
Step 4: Order early to beat the seasonal rush
Every year, demand for logs spikes once the first cold snap hits. Ordering early offers several benefits:
- Guaranteed stock availability
- Flexible delivery dates
- Freshly prepared loads from our Clitheroe yard
- Free delivery when you spend £150 or more
From Clitheroe to Blackburn, Burnley to Whalley, our drivers deliver daily across BB postcode areas, always on time and with a smile. By planning ahead, you’ll avoid last-minute shortages and keep your home snug throughout the chilliest weeks.
Step 5: Light it right for a strong flame and fast warmth
A proper lighting technique makes a big difference in heat-up time and fuel efficiency. Start with a few pieces of kindling and one or two firelighters, then add your kiln-dried logs once the fire’s established. A strong flame will develop quickly, giving you a warmer home in minutes without the need for excess fuel.
Pro tips for lighting:
- Arrange logs to ensure good air flow around the fire.
- Keep a small reserve of kindling handy for quick re-fires.
- If condensation or damp patchiness appears, check your storage and air flow in the room.
