Ready to Burn

Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme - Reducing environmental impact

Air quality and wood fuel has become a hot topic and stove owners are being asked to think about the impact of burning poor quality firewood has on the environment.

A stove is only as good as the wood it burns and so the Ready to Burn stamp of approval will reassure those who purchase firewood/briquettes with its logo that they are dry enough and immediately ready to burn.

What is Ready to Burn?

Woodsure Ltd is the DEFRA appointed Certification Body to administer the Ready to Burn Scheme as recognised in The Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) (England) Regulations 2020.

• Firewood labelled as Ready to Burn has a moisture content of 20% or less.
  
• Ready to Burn logs and briquettes burn more efficiently than unseasoned, green wood and reduce environmental impact.
  
• Ready to Burn wood is not only better for your appliance and chimney but will also reduce maintenance and fuel costs.
  

Domestic Fuels Legislation

The government is phasing out the sale of wet wood sold in small volumes (under 2m3) in England from 1 May 2021. This legislation forms part of the UK commitment in the Clean Air Strategy to reduce emissions of damaging air pollutants by 2020 and 2030.

Why Dry, Clean Wood?

Using dry, Ready to Burn wood, logs & briquettes improves the efficiency of any appliance. It is a simple step to reduce your impact on the environment.

Wet wood creates smoke and particulates that are harmful to your health and the environment. It will also damage your stove and chimney and is an inefficient way to heat your home.
