Who is Certainly Wood?

Based in Herefordshire, Certainly Wood has been perfecting the art of swiftly drying and expertly crafting top-notch British wood fuel since 2006. They pioneered kiln-dried firewood in the UK, using specialised kilns fuelled by wood waste to remove moisture from logs below 20%. This immediately makes their firewood 'Ready to Burn', unlike air-dried logs, which can take over a year to sufficiently season.

The advantages of kiln-dried wood

Kiln drying is the fastest and most effective method for removing moisture from freshly harvested wood. Certainly, Wood rapidly dries logs down to less than 20% moisture content using large, specialist ovens, ready to be used as fuel in your stove.

Here are the key advantages of using kiln-dried firewood like Certainly Wood's products:

Increased heat output: With less evaporated moisture, dry wood burns hotter and more efficiently.

Reduced smoke: Drier wood combusts cleaner, producing less smoke. This makes for happier neighbours and less air pollution.

Less creosote build-up: Wet wood leaves more creosote in stovepipes and chimneys. Kiln-dried logs burn cleaner, reducing dangerous deposits.

No waiting: While air-dried logs can take over 12 months to cure, kiln-dried wood is ready to burn immediately. No more waiting around!

Consistency: Kiln-drying allows Certainly Wood to offer bagged logs in specific volumes for consumer ease.

Woodsure certified: This independent certification guarantees that the firewood meets strict moisture standards for quality assurance.

Supporting sustainable British forestry

In addition to being expertly kiln-dried for quality, Certainly Wood’s products are sourced from sustainable, British-managed forests. The logs are locally grown and harvested, then transported shorter distances to the drying facility, reducing the carbon footprint.

Choosing British-made wood supports local economies, jobs, and woodland conservation efforts. UK forests are closely monitored, and new trees are continually replanted to maintain resources. Importing wood risks bringing in pests and diseases that threaten native trees.

Shoppers can feel good knowing that Certainly Wood adheres to environmentally responsible practices. Its operations are carbon-neutral, and it is striving to achieve 100% green energy.
