Fire Logs from freshly cut timber

dewdrop · 2009-01-21 18:48:16

Anyone know where i could get such logs for the fire. I am not interested in the ones usually sold at garages which burn very quickly. I like slow burning ones for each side of the grate and in between i use a variety of briquettes, smokeless coal nuggets and dry seasoned bits of timber.

i always thought it was a bad idea to burn freshly cut timber because it leaves a residue in the chimney that eventually catches fire and possibly set the whole house on fire

You may be right but i use these satchyets of soot remover fairly frequent. The blocks i had in mind were ones that were not from old half rotten timber but from timber cut fairly recently which would not blaze up the chimney
