Oak Logs - Economical Longer Burn Hardwood
£245.00 – £410.00
Oak, sometimes considered the gold standard, has long been a popular choice of firewood and is understandably the ‘go to’ wood choice when keeping an open fire or stove lit for many hours. The oak tree is a slow-growing, dense, hardwood species which makes it a slow, long-burning firewood; perfect when you’re leaving the fire burning for longer periods.
Oak, in particular, takes a long time to dry (season naturally) and due to high demand is often sold before it’s ready to burn resulting in poor performance and harmful pollution - something we all want to avoid. Yorlogs Oak firewood is specially kiln-dried to remove the natural moisture in the wood (and there’s a lot of it) which means you’ll get a perfect flame, all the heat from the log, minimal waste and crucially, low emissions.
Worth noting that some users will find Oak harder to light and slower to reach high heat. Heat output can also be lower depending on stove and management and so in that regard Oak isn’t automatically the best choice or value for every user. That said, if you are looking for the longest burn time to keep the fire lit with least input then you can’t go wrong with Yorlogs Kiln Dried Oak. Also, consider mixing with another less dense hardwood such as Alder or Birch for the best of everything.
Summary: King of the long burn but slower to max heat output.

Stacked Volume vs Loose Volume:
Logs are often sold loose in bags or in loads off the back of a tipper vehicle and you pay for the rough volume delivered. Our crates of stacked logs minimise the 'free' space between logs by a huge factor which means that our crates are even better value than you might think at first glance. The equivalent loose volume of logs is listed alongside the stacked volume for comparison purposes. We use the industry-standard equation as well as real-life experience to calculate the equivalent loose volume of logs.

Delivering our quality kiln dried logs to you without hassle is really important to us. We use a professional delivery service and the logs are carefully packed in custom crates to ensure it all reaches you in top condition.
In most cases we can drop the logs at a place of your choosing with or without you being there. With that said it's important to understand that there are some limitations to the service due to the sheer weight and size of the products.
How it worksWhen you place your order online before 2 pm during the week we'll get it moving the same day. We'll prep the order and send it out using one of the nationwide pallet delivery networks. A lorry up to 18 ton in size will arrive with your logs on the designated day between 9 am and 6 pm. It will be unloaded using a tail lift and pallet pump truck.
Yorlogs can only guarantee kerbside delivery on the service as it's impossible to know everyone's individual property situation but in most cases, the driver will be willing to drop the crate in your preferred spot. As you can imagine, these loaded crates of logs are very heavy, so while getting them as close as possible to your wood store is our aim, it is ultimately dependent on the driver's judgement at the time based on several factors such as; the distance, the ground being flat and the quality of the road surface. Pallet trucks don't do gravel!
Delivery timeStandard delivery to most mainland UK Postcodes is 2-3 working days and is free of charge.
If the cold is biting (as we say, you're 'nithered') and you need your logs in a hurry, just place your order online before 2 pm selecting our express delivery option and Yorlogs will deliver it the next working day to most UK postcodes (see exclusions).
Limitations/RequirementsWe'd love to get Yorlogs to every home but we can only deliver if the terrain and space is suitable.
Space required for vehicle: 3mtrs (10ft) width and 5mtrs (17ft) height. Please consider branches from trees and narrow lanes etc
If the vehicle can't access your driveway and there isn't an adequately dropped kerb (there is an excessive lip) from your driveway to the road the driver may have to leave the crate kerbside. (Typical dropped kerbs are usually fine).
The vehicle must be able to unload on level ground without a slope, this is due to health and safety reasons because of the weight of the crate.
The route for the pallet truck must be free of obstacles and the ground firm and solid.
If your order has to be returned because there is unsuitable access or terrain as outlined here and you refuse to accept delivery at the nearest safe point of placement (e.g. kerbside) then unfortunately you will be responsible for the original cost of shipping and the cost of returning your order, which is something everyone is obviously keen to avoid.
