A log store is the perfect solution for naturally seasoning your logs. They allow youto store your wood and other things safley away from the weather.
With the cost of fuel constantly rising, more and more people are going back to log burners and natural fires to heat their homes. Log burners will not only heat the house itself but they will also heat the water as well, so they are a great alternative to expensive gas and electric.
Some of you may be thinking that these log burners and open fires don't appear to be very eco-friendly, due to the burning of wood and the smoke that is produced. Think about though, massive power stations burn million of tonnes of fossil fuels toproduce the electricity for our homes, surely burning a small amount of seasoned wood from a sustainable source is just asenvironmently friendly if not more so.
Wood that is seasoned has been naturally dried to extract as much moisture as possible. This process ensures that your wood burns very slowly and smokes less, achieving the maximum amount of heat from each and every log. The seasoning process does take several weeks/months depending on the climate, but it does ensure you get excellent value for money from your logs. Logs can be bought pre-seasoned but the high cost of these logs vastly reduces your savings that you are trying to make in the first place!
The answer is to get your own log store. Log stores are a tidy, practical and ultimately a dry place to keep and season your fire wood. They are typically made from timber and come in a range of sizes depending on your needs. They have a raised base, so that logs don't sit in any standing water. Many are three sided with a slanted roof, the sides have slits in them that allow the air to circulate around the logs and the roof ensures that the wood stays dry in the rain and snow.
A log store makes seasoning your logs properly, easy, cheapand convenient. You can't afford to be without one.
