Homefire Ready to Burn Scheme

Ready to Burn Firewood

Key benefits of the Ready to Burn scheme

  • Ready to Burn wood has been dried sufficiently (less than 20% moisture content) so when burnt, the amount of smoke is significantly reduced by up to 85% compared to non-dried wood.
  • Reduction in smoke is better for the environment and is a significant step to cleaner air.
  • With the introduction of smoke control areas across the UK, people should choose Ready to Burn wood and burn in a modern appliance so that they are staying within government air pollution regulations.

Ready to Burn Firewood

What is the Ready to Burn scheme?

The Ready to Burn scheme, which is backed by the government, is designed to promote the burning of dry firewood.

To be classed as Ready to Burn, firewood must have a moisture content of below 20%.

This is important because burning Ready to Burn firewood results in up to 75% less smoke emissions compared to burning wet wood.  With poor air quality contributing to the premature deaths of 40,000 people every year (WHO, 2011), switching to Ready to Burn Firewood can have a positive effect on the environment and your health.

Ready to Burn firewood is also better for your appliance as wet wood can lead to a blackening of the stove glass and a build up of soot in your chimney.

So now when you see the orange Ready to Burn logo on wood fuel packaging you know you are getting a quality wood fuel product with low moisture, low smoke emissions and improved heating performance.

As one of the major firewood suppliers in the UK, we are keen to raise awareness amongst our customers to burn responsibly, reduce pollution and only buy low moisture, high quality, Ready to Burn firewood.
