Logs

[kfeaton]

Hi

We are moving into our property at the end of this month and have a wood burning boiler for the central heating. What is the best way of obtaining logs and what is the average cost. We are able to obtain some wood off our own land but not sufficient

Hi - ask your neighbours or local bar/shop/farm as log suppliers don't usually travel very far. You will need dry, seasoned wood preferably chene and/or charme. Don't know what size you want - we get metre lengths delivered but means cutting them into 3 with chainsaw. Your supplier will cut them to your requirements but at an extra charge.

Costs vary according to region so ask your neighbours what they pay. Last August we had 6 cubic metres delivered (2 steer) at 28.33 euros per cubic metre (but I think we paid more than the locals!!)
