One of these price increase waves will definitely take place around May-June 2022. It will occur because the price of wood fuel products has increased at the manufacturing level. This price increase will represent the first time in recent history when wood fuels will become more expensive in the summer than they were in the preceding winter. This increase isn’t likely to be the only one this year. As markets are generally averse to sharp price increases, it is also possible that wholesale prices will be increased in many gradual waves. This will prompt wood fuel suppliers to mirror these gradual increases as well. At this point we cannot say anything else with certainty, but we will keep you updated on the situation as it develops in the future.
Log Moisture Meter Readings: What Is Normal? Moisture meter readings of between 12% and 18% indicate dry, safe to burn firewood. Readings below 12% indicate superlative quality firewood. Readings over 20%-25% indicate firewood that is not safe to burn. There is a wide selection of log moisture meters on the market. Consumer solutions range in price between £15 and £60, whereas commercial options used by professionals can cost hundreds of pounds. In general, we recommend you avoid wood meters at the very low end of the market as they rarely provide accurate readings. You can expect to pay between £30 and £50 for a high-quality consumer-grade moisture meter from an established brand like Bosch.
You can be fined for starting your fire too close to a neighbour’s home or a fence (if they file a complaint). You can also be fined for burning material that produces a lot of smoke (e.g. low quality wood). So make sure you use good quality firewood from a trusted Ready to Burn certified store. The police can get involved if you let your smoke drift over a public road and impair road visibility for drivers. They will also be forced to get involved if you burn anything that creates dangerous fumes. So make sure you don’t burn any plastics, treated wood, or household rubbish. See this article for more information on what you can and can’t burn.
How to Light a Wood Fire? To start a wood fire using the top-down fire lighting method: Place a layer of firewood at the bottom of your wood-burning appliance or fire ring. Stack your kindling on top of the firewood in a grid or pyramid shape. Place one or two firelighters on top of your kindling and set fire to them using a lighter.
