Nothing makes us feel cosier than snuggling up in front of a crackling fire, particularly on chilly winter and spring days. As well as being supremely comforting, a well-built fire made with quality logs is ideal for keeping your home toasty warm and provides a wonderful seasonal wood-smoke scent. At Cozilogs, we sell a selection of the most popular choices for wood-burning fireplaces, from the classic oak to the ever-reliable ash. Our kiln dried logs 2m3 are sustainability sourced from 100% virgin and traceable woodlands and forestry in the UK. We want you to have the best experience possible, which is why we ensure all of our logs have a moisture level of no more than 20%, to ensure a smooth, long-lasting flame. With so many excellent log options, it can be difficult to choose the best firewood for your needs. All of our logs provide a clean burn and high heat output, so you can be assured when you buy firewood from Cozilogs of a quality product. In this article, we've provided suggestions for the best types of firewood to create the ideal cosy glow in your home.

Ash logs

Known for being a brilliant burning wood with low smoke and an excellent flame pattern that provides reliable heat, ash logs are a great choice for any kind of fire. They're readily available in the UK and Ireland, making them an affordable choice, as well as producing pale, delicate flames that will look spectacular in your wood burner or fireplace. Generally, ash burns well alone and is said to give off a soft smoke that reminds people of vanilla. You may have read that ash logs can be burned while green due to low moisture content, but we find they burn best when properly dried. Our kiln dried logs 2m3 are dried to the optimum level and ready to burn!

Beech logs

Beech logs are created from beautiful hardwoods, known for their strength, which gives the flames a bright yellow colour. They're the perfect choice for firewood because when dried correctly, they have a low level of moisture content and also provide a lovely fragrance. Our kiln dried beech logs are carefully seasoned over a long period to ensure a smooth, clean burn that will produce minimal smoke. Beech provides a long-lasting burn and produces a steady, high temperature without worrying about blackening your chimney. This wood is the ideal fuel for a range of set-ups, including log boilers, wood burners and open fires. It also burns well alone.

Oak logs

If you're looking for a log that can keep your fire going all night long, oak is the one for you. A classic choice for many, oak brings to mind the beautiful, crackling fire of everybody's dreams. Oak is usually considered to be one of the best choices to provide slow and steady heat, capable of burning for hours at a time thanks to the density of the wood. It's sometimes harder to come by, as it needs to be seasoned for at least two years, so it's worth mixing oak logs with a faster-burning log to ensure the perfect flame.

Mixed hardwood

You may be wondering whether it's worth mixing different types of wood for optimal burn. Wood such as oak, which tends to burn slower, are often best when mixed with a faster-burning type of wood such as beech. We're here to make choosing the best firewood as easy as possible, so we've created a range of ready to burn mixed hardwood logs. Our dry wood fuel is crafted from locally sourced virgin timber that meets the standards of both BSL and FSC certifications, ensuring sustainability. With firewood moisture content of under 20%, our fuel is the perfect choice for heating your home or business using a log boiler, wood-burning stove, or through open fire.

Chunky logs

In addition to choosing the best type of log for your fire, it's also important to consider the thickness and density of your preferred wood. We sell bags of kiln-dried extra chunky firewood, a high-quality fuel option with a high heat content, whether you're trying to create a cosy glow in your living room or a warming presence in your business. Chunky logs are perfect for open fires and large stoves, providing an extra-long burn. If you prefer the aesthetic feel of extra chunky mixed hardwood for your fireplace, we highly recommend purchasing a pack of our Cozilights firelighters, made from natural wood and fully refined paraffin wood. They're natural, odourless and easy to light.

Which is the best kind of wood for a cosy log fire?

The perfect fire log for you entirely depends on the length of burn you'd like to achieve and usually, the kind of ambience you'd like to create. Some types of logs do more than just warm the room - they can fragrance the room as they burn and produce different kinds of flames, from sparking embers to cracking bright light. Some people prefer to choose a log that creates an atmosphere for cosy nights in, whereas others are likely to choose long-burning hardwoods as they're more economical and produce more heat. Whichever logs you choose, you can rest assured that we sell premium kiln dried logs. At Cozilogs, we have a wide variety of choices including oak, ash, beech, hornbeam and mixed assortments.
