Peak Logs’ Woodsure Ready to Burn Guarantee
When choosing firewood for your stove or wood burner, the most important factor is moisture content. Logs that are too wet burn poorly, wasting energy and producing more smoke. That’s why at Peak Logs, we guarantee that every delivery meets the Woodsure Ready to Burn standard, with a moisture level of 18–20%.
This means you get the best heat output, a cleaner burn, and peace of mind knowing your firewood is certified to the UK’s highest standard.

What Is the Woodsure Standard?
Woodsure is the UK’s only quality assurance scheme for firewood, backed by DEFRA and recognised nationwide. To be classed as Ready to Burn, logs must:
– Contain less than 20% moisture
– Be consistently cut and split for stoves and open fires
– Come from sustainable, traceable sources
Every bag of logs you buy from Peak Logs carries the Woodsure certification, so you know your firewood is reliable, efficient, and safe to use.

Why Moisture Levels Are Crucial
1. Maximum Heat Output
Low-moisture logs burn hotter, giving you more heat per log. Wet or unseasoned logs waste energy boiling off excess water instead of warming your home.
2. Cleaner, Safer Burn
Kiln-dried logs with moisture below 20% produce less smoke and soot. This reduces creosote build-up in your flue, making your stove safer and your chimney cleaner.
3. Better for the Environment
Using Woodsure-certified logs lowers emissions, cutting down on air pollution compared to burning wet or unseasoned wood.

Wet logs produce more smoke, tar, and creosote, making your stove less efficient and your chimney more dangerous.
