If you run a business that relies on fire — from wood-fired hot tubs to pizza ovens, BBQs or cosy log burners in guest accommodation — your fuel matters.
Poor quality firewood can mean unhappy customers, wasted time, and unnecessary costs. At The Logsmith, we supply ultra kiln dried hardwood logs and briquettes to hospitality venues and businesses across the UK. Here’s what you need to know if you’re buying firewood for commercial use.
Why moisture content matters
Moisture content is key to fire performance. Logs with high moisture burn inefficiently, produce more smoke, and leave behind residue that can clog flues or cloud stove glass.
Our hardwood logs are kiln dried to under 15% moisture content — not just meeting the UK “Ready to Burn” standard, but exceeding it. Logs with 15–18% moisture typically yield around 4,400–4,700 kWh/tonne. Ours, with 7–15% moisture, deliver up to 5,000 kWh/tonne. That means more heat, less wood, and better efficiency.
For businesses, that translates to:
-
Faster heat-up times
-
Less maintenance
-
More consistent guest experiences
-
Lower fuel usage across the season
Reliable supply, every time
We understand the pressure of running a hospitality business. Whether it’s a boutique B&B or a busy spa, you need firewood that’s:
-
Easy to store
-
Quick to restock
-
Ready to burn, every time
That’s why all our logs come in stackable, recyclable cardboard boxes — no plastic nets or tangled bundles. Each box is manageable to lift, stack and use. No waste, no mess, no faff.
Fuel for every kind of fire
We supply oak, ash and birch hardwood logs — ideal for different commercial setups:
-
Birch: Great for pizza ovens, cooks quickly and lights easily
-
Ash: Burns evenly, perfect for fire pits, chimineas and guest heating
-
Oak: Dense and slow-burning, ideal for longer sessions like saunas or spa heat
Need something hotter or more compact? Our briquettes are a favourite with restaurants and wood-fired oven operators. They’re dense, consistent, low-ash, and can be used alone or alongside logs.
Perfect for:
-
Hotels and guesthouses
-
Holiday lets and Airbnb properties
-
Outdoor event venues
-
Restaurants and food trucks
-
Spas, saunas and wellness retreats
-
Campsites and eco lodges

Using ultra kiln dried wood means fewer chimney sweeps, less stove downtime, and better air quality for staff and guests. It’s the easiest way to keep fires clean, compliant, and safe to use year-round.
And with all our packaging plastic-free, it’s a better look for your business, too.
