Why ‘Ready to Burn’ Certified Logs Matter — Mr Logs Explains

When it comes to heating your home with a wood burning stove or open fire, not all logs are created equal. If you’ve been shopping around for firewood, you’ve probably come across the phrase ‘Ready to Burn’ certified logs.

But what does it actually mean? And why is it so important?

At Mr Logs, we believe in supplying our customers with the highest quality firewood — which is why all of our kiln dried and seasoned logs meet the ‘Ready to Burn’ certification. Let’s break down why this certification matters for your stove, your home, and even the environment.

🔥 What is ‘Ready to Burn’?

The ‘Ready to Burn’ certification is part of a UK government-backed scheme designed to help consumers easily identify firewood that meets the correct moisture content standard for safe, clean burning.

✅ For firewood, this means:

• Moisture content of 20% or less

• Tested and approved by an authorised certification body

• Clearly labelled so you know what you’re buying

The scheme helps ensure you’re burning wood that is genuinely dry and safe for use in your stove or open fire.

🔥 Why Does Moisture Content Matter?

When logs contain too much moisture, you’ll face several problems:

• 🔥 Harder to light

• 🔥 Poor heat output

• 🔥 Excessive smoke and soot

• 🔥 Creosote buildup in your chimney

• 🔥 Increased risk of chimney fires

• 🔥 Greater pollution and harmful emissions

Simply put:

Dry wood burns hotter, cleaner, and more efficiently.

🔥 Legal Requirements You Need to Know

Since May 2021, it’s actually a legal requirement in England for any firewood sold in quantities under 2m³ to be certified as Ready to Burn. This law helps to reduce air pollution and ensure households are burning cleaner, safer fuel.

✅ Buying Ready to Burn logs means you’re fully compliant with the law and doing your part for cleaner air.

🔥 Why Buying from Mr Logs Gives You Peace of Mind

🔥 Avoid the Risks of Non-Certified Logs

Some cheaper or “green” firewood on the market may not be fully dried. You might save a few pounds upfront, but:

• You’ll burn more wood to get the same heat

• Your stove and chimney could suffer damage

• You may face costly maintenance or repairs

• Your fire won’t be as enjoyable or efficient

🔥 Mr Logs Tip:
