Burning wood is better in environmental terms as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth making it carbon neutral. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. Norfolk Woodburners have a number of local wood suppliers that supply wood around the county. A lot of our stoves are made in the UK and are Defra Clean Air Act approved, helping to protect you, your children and the environment that we live in. 

Choosing the right fuel

Logs should be seasoned to give best results when burning in a log burner, woodburner or multifuel stove. Ideally they should be stored for 2 plus years  to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give up to twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your flue. Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods. Norfolk Woodburners sell moisture meters.
