Is Your Firewood Supplier Bad For The Environment?

MORPETH, U.K. - March 2, 2017 - PRLog -- Is Your Firewood Supplier Bad For The Environment?

Climate change and environmental damage is a growing concern and few companies take the necessary measures to protect the environment. Wintrick Wood, a Northumberland based firewood supplier, make sure that their business does not have a negative effect on the environment.

All wood sourced for chopping and seasoning is acquired from responsible and environment friendly farms meaning that all trees are replanted, supporting the environment and creating a sustainable supply for the future.

The use of a stove or fireplace also helps to reduce the use of gas or electricity for heating. This not only saves energy but saves you money on gas and electricity bills.  Consumer market researchers, Which?, interviewed wood only stove owners and found that 55% said that using a stove saved them money. Multi-fuel stove owners were also interviewed and 66% said that their stove saved them money. This greatly reduces energy costs which rise every year and are especially high in the winter months.

All logs supplied by Wintrick Wood have a moisture content of less than 20%. This ensures a hot and clean burn providing a more efficient fire with little residue remaining and no smoke on the stove glass. All wood at WIntrick Wood is thoroughly checked with a moisture meter and anything over 20% will not leave the store. Any wood suppliers who do not state the moisture content of the wood should not be bought from.

The firewood provided is properly seasoned which reduces the creosote build up in your flue and reduces any harmful gasses that would be released in to the environment. A dried and high quality wood will light an efficient fire which will heat up quickly and produce little residue and gas. All of these precautions and values are what makes Wintrick Wood a unique and environmentally friendly log supplier.
