A note from the Forestry Department: Unfortunately, due to some technical issues and the usually wet summer this year, we cannot guarantee our current firewood stock has been seasoned to our usual standards.

While the softwood logs are dry and good to burn, some of the hardwood stock may only be part seasoned, and while they will burn well in an open fire, they may not be dry enough to burn efficiently in a stove.

We apologies for any inconvenience caused.

A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF HEAT ENERGY

Baronscourt firewood is harvested from our own woods, and is naturally well-seasoned and sold in jumbo bags and pallets.

We have qualified for continued membership of the ‘Forestry Stewardship Council’ certification scheme by demonstrating sustainable and responsible management of our 1,150 ha of extensive woodland.

Why you should buy Baronscourt Firewood

• Clean, compact product – easily stored and handled.
• Located from a local, sustainable and fully certified source.
• Wood fuel is a major source of renewable heat energy and when burnt efficiently, produces virtually no smoke.
• Softwood and Hardwood available. (processed firewood can vary in diameter size and is not consistent).
• Sold in bulk in jumbo bags or on pallets.

The Importance of Dry Timber

• Using Spruce as an example, 1 cubic metre of fresh felled timber weighs about 1 tonne, or 1000kg, and contains up to 600kg of moisture.
• Heat energy comes from dry wood only.  Energy is therefore lost as it is used to convert moisture into steam.
• Baronscourt firewood is well seasoned, therefore moisture content is low.

Sustainability

• Baronscourt firewood is an environmentally friendly and a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
• It is a USER FRIENDLY PRODUCT.
• Available in jumbo bags or on pallets only
