Handybag Logs for Every Heating Need
Indoor Wood Burners and Fireplaces
Choose kiln dried birch handybags for consistent heat output and that distinctive pleasant aroma birch is known for. The 60 litre size makes handling and storage around your home straightforward, whether you keep them in a log store, garage, or utility room.
Every bag contains Ready to Burn certified logs with moisture content below 18%, ensuring efficient combustion with minimal smoke and soot. This low moisture level means more of the energy goes into heating your room rather than evaporating water. Birch lights quickly thanks to its natural oils, making it ideal for daily heating throughout the winter months when you want warmth fast.
Outdoor Cooking and Pizza Ovens
For outdoor cooking applications, our dense hardwood handybags provide the sustained high temperatures essential for pizza ovens and barbecues. Clean burning logs are particularly suitable for food preparation areas, producing minimal smoke that won’t overwhelm your outdoor dining experience.
The convenient bag size makes transporting firewood to your outdoor cooking space easy, whether that’s a permanent pizza oven setup or a portable fire pit. Low smoke emission from properly kiln dried logs ensures comfortable conditions for you and your guests.
Holiday Homes and Weekend Retreats
Compact handy bag storage is perfect for holiday properties where space is limited. Pre-dried logs are ready for immediate use upon arrival—no waiting for seasoning or worrying about damp wood failing to light.
For occasional use properties, handybags provide a reliable heat source without the commitment of bulk orders. You can easily order delivery before your stay, ensuring a warm welcome the moment you arrive at your retreat. Customers are happy with the convenience and reliability of handybag logs, making them an ideal choice for holiday homes and weekend getaways.
Choose the Right Handybag Size for Your Setup
For Small Wood Burners and Compact Stoves
Our 60 litre handybags provide perfect portion control for smaller appliances. The split logs fit easily into compact fireboxes, with dimensions around 25cm in length and 5-15cm diameter—suitable for most standard wood burning stoves.
These manageable quantities prevent over-purchasing for occasional use, while tear-proof bags protect your logs during storage and handling. If you’re new to wood burning or use your stove intermittently, starting with a few handy bags helps you gauge your consumption before committing to larger orders.
For Large Fireplaces and Open Fires
Multiple handybags can be ordered for bigger heating requirements. Nets are also available as a packaging option for logs, offering easy storage and transport for customers who prefer them over bags. Consistent log sizes ensure even burning in larger fireboxes, with each bag containing uniformly split and dried logs.
Bulk ordering options are available for regular heating needs—a medium-sized home with regular evening fires typically uses 4-6 cubic metres per season. Convenient stacking in your log store or garage keeps stock organised and accessible throughout winter.
For Commercial and Restaurant Use
Professional-grade kiln dried logs are suitable for commercial cooking applications, from restaurant fireplaces to outdoor catering operations. Reliable supply chains ensure consistent delivery scheduling for business operations.
Bulk handy bag orders can be arranged with flexible delivery times to suit your business needs. Woodsure certification guarantees quality standards, giving your customers confidence in the firewood used to prepare their meals.
Premium Firewood Types for Superior Burning
Kiln Dried Birch Handybags
Fast ignition properties make birch ideal for quick heat generation—perfect when you want warmth without delay. The pleasant natural aroma enhances indoor ambiance, adding to the sensory experience of a real fire.
Birch delivers high heat output with clean burning characteristics. Our kiln dried birch maintains moisture content consistently below 18%, often reaching 10-17% depending on the batch. This means approximately 4,400-5,000 kWh per dry tonne of energy, compared to just 2,600-2,700 kWh from green wood.
Kiln dried birch is sold by volume not weight because dried hardwoods with low moisture content are much lighter than wet wood. This makes volume a more accurate measure of the actual fuel you’re receiving.
Dense Oak Log Handybags
Long burn time provides sustained heat for extended periods, making oak excellent for overnight burning in wood burners. Dense hardwood delivers maximum energy output per log—approximately 3,000+ kWh per cubic metre when properly dried.
Oak requires good kindling for initial lighting due to its density, so consider pairing with birch or natural firelighters. Once established, oak creates a substantial ember bed that maintains warmth long after the flames have died down.
How to Store and Use Your Handybag Logs
Proper Storage Techniques
Keep handybags in dry, covered areas like garages or a dedicated log store. Even kiln dried wood can reabsorb moisture if left exposed to rain or damp conditions, reducing burn efficiency and creating more smoke.
Avoid ground contact by storing on pallets or raised surfaces—this prevents moisture wicking up from concrete or soil. Ensure good air circulation around stored bags by leaving space between stacks.
Use logs within 12 months for optimal burning performance. While properly stored kiln dried logs remain suitable for longer periods, fresher stock generally performs better.
Lighting and Burning Best Practices
Start fires with proper kindling and natural firelighters for the cleanest results. Birch logs light readily, but a good kindling base ensures the fire establishes quickly without excessive smoke.
Allow adequate air flow for efficient combustion—most wood burners have adjustable vents to control the burn rate. Add logs gradually to maintain consistent heat output rather than overloading the firebox.
Monitor your stove’s performance and adjust ventilation accordingly. A well-established fire with kiln dried logs should produce minimal smoke and create a satisfying, steady heat.
