It’s that time of year again. The clocks go back, the temperature drops, and your wardrobe changes from shorts to woolly jumpers. But it also means winter is closing in, and to keep yourself warm, you need fuel to heat that cozy log burner / fire of yours. To make sure you’re all set for the winter, we’ve created a list of the 5 Golden Rules you should follow in order to have a safe, warm winter season.
1. ORDER YOUR LOGS
There’s no smoke without fire, and there’s no smoke or fire without some hardwood logs. Get your order in early, it’s going to be a cold winter. Order online today!
2. SWEEP YOUR CHIMNEY
There’s likely to be old ash and dust festering in your chimney from last winter. To avoid a smoke filled living room, hire a local chimney sweep to make sure you’re all set for a new log burning season.
3. KEEP YOUR LOGS DRY
Wet logs are no good to anyone except woodlice. Wherever you store your logs, make sure they are kept dry. We can provide a log store with waterproof roof, if required.
4. START SMALL
Lighting a fire is fun, but it’s no fun if it goes out immediately and you’re left in the cold. Start small with newspaper and kindling, and once the fire gets going, only then add the bigger logs.
