Higher product quality. Unlike supermarkets, which sell a little bit of everything, dedicated wood fuel suppliers build their entire reputation on the quality of their firewood and briquettes, so you can expect a higher quality product when purchasing from a well-known supplier.

Brazier is a CPL product as is Homefire and I have read that it is the same as Excel but at the moment I am sitting outside and my neighbour is burning Excel and it stinks like burning plastic whereas the Brazier I am burning doesn't have the same reek to it. So I'm not convinced its the same. Brazier seems to have different sizes ovoids in the bag which looks a bit like a mix of phurnacite and taybrite to me. I'm no expert but its definitely not as good as Homefire in my stoves... Even pressure-treated wood will benefit from an occasional water-sealant treatment as well. Applying a coat roughly once a year will help the wood stay protected from water damage (splitting, warping, etc.). This is especially important to do after you’ve had the log store for around 5 years. The raised base is just another feature that can help protect logs from our damp climate – keeping them off the ground so that they have a chance to dry out and season correctly. In the nearby area there is Chase Side Primary School, King George V Playing Fields, Palace Garden Shopping Centre, Bush Hill Park Golf Club, Enfield Golf Club, Riverside Park and Enfield Town Train Station. To help you make the right choice, we’ll compare supermarket logs from Asda, Aldi, Tesco, LIDL, and Sainsbury's. We’ll compare the logs from these supermarkets based on three criteria: quality, selection, and price.And, equally, there are few things worse than realising you don’t have wood fuel when you need it, or that the logs you do have are too damp to burn. Also consider the construction, material, durability, warranty period and price – as well as how much the axe will be used.

Winner of a BBC Gardeners' World Magazine Best Buy award for the best axe for all-round wood splitting, this is a premium, quality axe. Beautifully made and well-designed, it’s very comfortable to handle and use, with a perfectly balanced weight. This, coupled with a relatively light weight of 1.3kg and a mid-length shaft of 50cm, mean this axe is large enough to be used two-handed for splitting logs up to 20cm in diameter, while also being small and light enough for more accurate precision work like making kindling. So, the higher cost of this axe is balanced out by its versatility – there’s no need to have two separate axes for two different jobs. LIDL Great Britain used to sell Heat Logs in the past, but they currently don’t sell any wood fuel products. This is likely caused by the recent supply draught in the UK wood fuel industry. Which UK Supermarket Has the Best Logs?

Visit the store from the close train stops Enfield Town Station (750 ft) and Enfield Chase Station (2480 ft away). The best lines are the Great Northern or Overground. The front is open, so positioning it out of prevailing winds will benefit your logs, but generally the pressure-treated wood construction, along with the feather-board sides, and overhanging roof are well designed to keep precipitation out.

For smaller spaces, it can help to look for a taller wood store that will keep a few more logs without expanding on the unit’s footprint. In terms of construction, this log store is a bit more interesting than the others featured here – it’s made from the wood of a Nordic Spruce (more commonly seen in its original tree form at Christmas!), which is generally stronger than pine. Log stores keep logs protected from the worst of the weather, helping firewood stay dry so that it’s ready to use when you want it. Choosing the Right Size Log Store It’s constructed from FSC-approved wood that has been pressure treated, so it’s equipped to stand up to our versatile UK climate. The supportive posts are solid and large, at 7.6 x 7.6 cm, and the feather-board edge fits together well; it’s a sturdy, well-ventilated structure that helps keep logs dry. If your logs are close to hand in a log store, you’ll find it easier to prepare your log-burning fire or stove and keep it burning. It can be very easy to just keep a small supply of wood by the fireplace, but once it’s been burnt you might be tempted to pop the heating on. A log store will allow you to store more firewood close to the house, so you won’t have to go far to get more in.For smaller spaces, or households that don’t burn as much wood, a compact unit like the Easipet Wooden Log Store will keep logs dry without taking up too much space. Due to its inexpensive price tag, it’s also a great budget-friendly option. As we’ve all no doubt learned the hard way, buying a cheaper product can seem like a good idea initially, but can cost us more in the long run when we have to replace it sooner. A log store with a 1 m³ capacity can hold approximately 300 standard logs. Therefore, a store with 0.5 m³ of space will hold roughly 150 standard logs, and so on.

Due to the large size of a lot of log stores, you’ll benefit from having a power screwdriver and an extra pair of hands to help out. There are few things more pleasant than the luxury of warming yourself by a log-burning fire in the depths of winter. At 116 cm wide and 123 cm high, it has a capacity of 0.75 m³ (which equates to about 225 standard logs) whilst taking up a lot less room than a lot of the other log stores featured here. If you’re only burning a living-room fire for a few nights a week, this should be an adequate store to keep enough wood nearby. The last option is particularly interesting. Supermarkets don’t specialise in logs and briquettes, so their quality depends solely on their supply partners. Some of us have also had pleasant experiences with supermarket logs, and many others have had bad experiences.

The wood is tough, which is a good sign, but during assembly you’ll likely require a power screwdriver even though the holes are pre-drilled. Putting the log store together can take around two hours. If you frequently burn through a large number of logs, you might struggle to keep enough close to hand for when you need them. The frame of the store should be constructed from sturdy posts, with the sides made from either slats or feather-edge panels.
