The time to talk about the best firewood for bonfires is nearly here, Bonfire Night! We love the smell of woodsmoke, the crackle of flames, and everyone gathered round to keep warm. But if you’ve opened your log pile only to find damp, mouldy wood or scraps that just won’t light, you’re not alone. Most of us save leftover bits and pieces from last year, but after months in the shed or garden, they often absorb moisture and smoke rather than sparkle.
That’s where County Logs & Coal comes in. When leftover wood lets you down, we’ll get your fire burning bright again. We’ll top up your old stock with the best firewood for bonfire celebrations in Essex, so your fire burns clean, bright and steady all night long. Whether you just need a few nets to replace what’s gone bad or a full load to start fresh, we’ll deliver straight to your door – fast, friendly and ready for Bonfire Night.
Why Fresh, Kiln-Dried Wood Makes The Best Firewood For Bonfire Celebrations
We know it’s tempting to throw anything on the bonfire: old offcuts, pallets, even that pile of last year’s logs. But damp wood can spoil the night, filling the air with smoke and hissing instead of giving you that lovely roaring glow. Our kiln-dried hardwood logs are the best firewood for bonfire nights because they’re properly seasoned, easy to light, and guaranteed dry.
Each log is dried to below 20% moisture, meaning more heat, less smoke and a longer burn. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll see how much easier it is to keep your fire going, and how much warmer it feels. So instead of wrestling with wet wood, let us replenish your supply with premium logs that make lighting up simple and stress-free.
Before lighting up, it’s worth checking the Essex Fire and Rescue Service’s Bonfire and Firework safety tips. A few simple precautions go a long way to keeping everyone safe and happy on the night.
Cleaner Flames, Happier Evenings
Our kiln-dried hardwood isn’t just convenient, it’s cleaner too. Because it burns efficiently, it gives off fewer emissions, less soot and no spitting. It’s the best firewood for bonfire nights where you want to keep things safe, comfortable and smoke-free.
And since all our logs are Ready to Burn certified, you can rest easy knowing they’re better for the environment as well as your garden party. So, while your leftover wood might have gone damp, we’ll make sure your Bonfire Night still burns bright.
