Premium BBQ wood chips provider 2022? The UK energy crisis saw the prices of gas and electric heat reach record highs. More new log burners were installed in 2021 than in any other year in recent history. And most wood fuel suppliers, Lekto included, found it a lot more difficult to keep enough product in stock rather than actually selling the product. Due to the high price of petrol and electricity, the process of turning that raw material into Ready to Burn firewood and briquettes also became more expensive. And yet we managed to keep the prices roughly where they were before the energy crisis. As recently as February of this year, a kilowatt-hour of wood heat from Lekto cost as little as 10p/kWh. Note that this calculation was made during the most expensive part of the heating season and without including any discounts. Find extra information on lektowoodfuels.co.uk.

The Right Choice of Wood Fuel: When most of us think of camping, they immediately imagine the process of gathering your own tinder (twigs, dry leaves, pine needles), kindling (twigs and sticks), and firewood. However, we strongly advise against this. Burning wet or unseasoned firewood is harmful to both human health and the environment. When wet wood matter is burned, it releases a vast amount of harmful compounds, some of which are cancerogenic. Sometimes campground hosts will offer bundles of Ready to Burn firewood or kindling for sale, but in most cases you will have to bring your own. At Lekto, we offer several low moisture camping wood fuel options.

How to Check Moisture Content of Wood Without Meter? There are several ways of checking the moisture content of your firewood without using a moisture meter: Check the ends of your logs for cracks. In general, dry cracks are an indication of dry wood. The more cracks you see, the drier the wood you’re looking at is. Hit two logs against each other. Wet wood will give off a dull thud, whereas dry wood will sound hollow (as if it was empty inside). Check firewood moisture by burning. Wet wood will smoke, smoulder, and turn the glass of your burner black.

You can be fined for starting your fire too close to a neighbour’s home or a fence (if they file a complaint). You can also be fined for burning material that produces a lot of smoke (e.g. low quality wood). So make sure you use good quality firewood from a trusted Ready to Burn certified store. The police can get involved if you let your smoke drift over a public road and impair road visibility for drivers. They will also be forced to get involved if you burn anything that creates dangerous fumes. So make sure you don’t burn any plastics, treated wood, or household rubbish. See this article for more information on what you can and can’t burn.

There is no one answer to how hot does a wood fire get. The temperature of a wood fire varies greatly from species to species. The hottest burning type of firewood is beech, which burns at 950 °C. Oak firewood burns at 900 °C, which makes it perfect for pizza ovens and steak searing. The UK’s most popular firewood tree species, birch, burns at around 820 °C.
