Our products
Kiln dried firewood
We are proud to be the only supplier in Wiltshire that allows you to choose your own logs at your leisure.
We understand that each fireplace and wood burner is unique, so our pick your own option enables you to get the right logs for you. It takes a while to understand your fire and being able to select different logs gives you the best possible result. You can ask our experts to walk you through all the options for your specific needs, and give advice on how to make the best fire.
All the firewood is harvested from the Longleat Estate. Longleat Forest is managed on a sequential continuous cover forestry basis, using parent trees to set seed for young trees thus providing forest continuity. We have won silvicultural awards for this practice over the years, and in some cases, set the model for other woodlands in the UK to follow.
After the wood is felled, it goes into our wood-fired kiln. This reduces its moisture content, making our Woodsure Accredited kiln-dried logs 'ready to burn'.

Woodchip
Our softwood woodchip is made from specifically graded softwood from our sustainable forest. All woodchip is screened to 50mm and contains no leaves or weeds.
We use a lot of woodchip around the Longleat attractions as it is of a play area grade specification. It is also suitable once dried for our gorilla biomass boiler and our lions enjoy it as a bedding.
Many of our customers use this in the garden as a landscape woodchip for around trees and paths as a weed suppressant.
Woodchip is available for both collection and home delivery. There is no minimum weight for pick your own woodchip. The minimum weight for home delivery is 1 tonne.

Firewood is a low carbon alternative to fossil fuels, and because the wood is locally produced we have a low carbon footprint at source.
With our standard product 1 tonne of logs is about 3.25 cubic metres/2.5 builders bags. All of our wood is weighed over a calibrated weigh bridge and sold in metric tonnes/1000kg.
