10 Signs You’re Officially Addicted to Your Wood Burner — Mr Logs’ Light-Hearted Guide
At Mr Logs, we meet plenty of customers who start out with a wood burner for a bit of cosy warmth — but before long, it turns into something much more. Suddenly, lighting your stove becomes a daily ritual, stacking logs is oddly satisfying, and you find yourself talking about moisture content at dinner parties.
If any of this sounds familiar… you might just be addicted to your wood burner!
Here are 10 tell-tale signs that you’ve fully caught the wood burning bug:
1️⃣ You Admire Your Log Stack Like It’s a Piece of Art
There’s something deeply satisfying about a perfectly stacked pile of logs. You step back, admire the symmetry, maybe even take a photo to show your friends (who may or may not share your excitement).
2️⃣ You Can Identify Wood Types at a Glance
Ash, oak, birch, hornbeam — you don’t need labels. You can spot them by colour, bark texture, or even smell. You’ve become a true connoisseur of timber.
3️⃣ You Own (and Regularly Use) a Moisture Meter
For most people, a moisture meter is an obscure tool. For you, it’s an essential gadget. You check your logs regularly, proudly confirming they’re always under 20% moisture.
4️⃣ You Get a Slight Panic When the Log Store Looks a Bit Low
A half-full log store? That’s a crisis. You immediately ring Mr Logs to top up your stock — just in case there’s a sudden cold snap (or simply because you like seeing a full store).
5️⃣ You Can Light a Fire Faster Than Most People Make Tea
Kindling, firelighters, air vents — you’ve got the perfect technique down to a fine art. Others fumble with matches; you’re enjoying dancing flames in no time.
6️⃣ You Check the Weather Forecast for Log Planning
Rain forecast? You check your log cover is secure. Cold snap coming? You mentally calculate how many logs you’ll need. Your log management is military-level precision.
7️⃣ You Have a Favourite Log
You secretly (or not-so-secretly) have favourite logs. That perfectly seasoned oak or that beautiful birch with its smooth bark — you save the ‘best’ ones for special fires.
8️⃣ You Give Friends ‘Log Advice’ Whether They Ask or Not
You can’t help it. If someone mentions their stove, you’re straight in with tips on correct storage, moisture content, and why kiln dried logs are superior. (You’re basically an unofficial Mr Logs ambassador.)
9️⃣ You Love the Sound of a Fresh Log Delivery
The rumble of the delivery truck, the sight of fresh, clean logs being unloaded — it’s like Christmas morning. You may even hover excitedly while we stack them.
🔟 You Think Log Burning Memes Are Hilarious
You’ve liked every firewood meme on social media. You’ve even sent a few to friends who don’t quite get it — but you know they will… one day.
