5 ways to use our beech firewood logs!
Summer is well and truly on its way!
Here at County Logs & Coal, the best provider of logs Essex has to offer, we’ve noticed that people often don’t realise the importance of beech firewood logs and other fuels for fires. That’s why we put together a list of scenarios where you may require beech firewood logs and alternative fuels for a fire this summer. Why not take a look to see if you may be in need of our Essex logs services here at County Logs & Coal?
1. Outdoor/pizza ovens
Outdoor stone pizza ovens are often seen as the height of garden luxury! But because of their simple principle, it is surprisingly easy to get hold of one.
You can purchase outdoor pizza ovens online with relative ease and for a reasonable price. Permanent stone pizza ovens tend to be more on the expensive side, but it depends on the materials used and varies from company to company. There are some who choose to construct their own using recycled and/or inexpensive materials, however, we would not recommend this for those who are not skilled in the profession themselves.
If you manage to snag yourself an outdoor oven of any kind, you will require some kind of fuel. And nothing tastes quite like a high-quality wood-fired meal! It’s also important to ensure that the wood sourced is of high quality as it will likely be in contact with the food you are consuming. Not only is this important for safety purposes, but it will also impact the flavour of whatever you are preparing.
As a quality provider of Essex logs, we at County Logs & Coal offer a range of high-quality beech firewood logs for burning, as well as other alternative fuel options. If you have any queries regarding the quality of our firewood, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
2. Hog roast
Speaking of cooking, a great and unique way to use our beech firewood logs this summer is by having a hog roast!
This is the most fun to do as part of a BBQ (and you probably can’t eat the whole thing yourself)!
It sounds like a great deal of effort, but it is in fact much easier than you imagine. See here for advice on creating your own pig roast.
Some people prefer to exclusively use coal for their hog roast, however, many people prefer the use of wood as it adds depth to the overall flavour.
Whether you prefer hot coals, firewood, or a combination of both, County Logs & Coal are here to provide you with all of your BBQ fuel needs with our quality Essex logs. We offer everything from firelighters and coal to our beech firewood logs that give you an aromatic, smokey aftertaste.
3. Firepits with friends
Summer just wouldn’t be summer without a good old-fashioned BBQ!
And everyone knows that the best BBQs are the ones that carry far into the night. But that often means adding a few extra layers and potentially moving the party indoors. The truth of the matter is, in Britain, those hot summer nights are often just wishful thinking.
But why should that mean you should enjoy yourself any less?
A great use of beech firewood logs is by gathering around a fire pit with family and friends after a day of good food and even better conversation.
To find high-quality firewood for your firepit, browse our beech firewood logs – and keep the party going!
4. Chimineas
Alternatively, if you’re someone who has restricted space for a fire, Chimineas make an excellent addition to any garden. Perhaps you have a couple of people over or want to carry on a conversation under the starry night sky – whatever your intentions, you’ll need to purchase some form of firewood.
Chimeneas are particularly good if you own a patio or landscaped garden. Gardens and open areas with trees nearby can be a fire hazard for any open flame and a chiminea provides a more controlled flame without compromising on ambience.
Chimineas provide all of the functions of a fire pit but in a more contained (and often more aesthetically pleasing) way. Burning beech firewood logs in a chiminea is also safer for certain types of gardens and spaces.
5. Garden waste bonfires
Summer is a great time to get rid of your garden waste in a fun (and controlled) way.
It’s important to remember garden fire safety and ensure all garden waste is dry. Any wet debris like damp grass, leaves and greenery will produce a great deal of smoke. Even with all of your dry garden waste, you may still require additional fuel, to provide a level of consistency and keep your bonfire going. Beech firewood logs provide an excellent source of fuel to pad out your bonfire – and keep it going for as long as you need/desire.
Alongside offering the best logs Essex has, County Logs and Coal also provide a range of kindling and firelighters. Our Essex logs range includes a variety of sizes and qualities – so you are able to find what you’re looking for in a price range and quantity that’s right for you. To view our full range, see our store.
If done correctly. And safely, bonfires can turn into a great evening event fun for all the family.
Whether you’re sitting around the fire with friends, reminiscing over a few glasses of your favourite drinks, or roasting marshmallows and making smores as a family, bonfires can feature in some of the fondest memories we create.
