FOREST TO FIRE
The Journey of Our Firewood
At Walker’s Logs, we take pride in delivering high quality, sustainably sourced firewood, perfect for creating warm and welcoming fires. Our process is carefully managed from start to finish.
Here’s how we turn raw timber into the premium firewood our customers know and love.
1.
Using sustainably managed woodlands, the trees are assessed by an expert who choses which ones to fell. The trees are then felled and cut into lengths, usually 8′ or 10′.
2.
A tractor and trailer with a crane will then pick these lengths up and stack them at the side of a track or road.
3.
A lorry with a crane will then come and pick up a load, usually weighing around 26 Tonnes, and deliver it to the Walker’s Logs yard.
4.
We then grade the timber into different sizes to meet our processing machines specifications. The trees are then cut, split and conveyed by our processing machines into large metal cages.
5.
The cages are then forklifted into a kiln dryer, where we reduce the moisture down to below 20%.
6.
Once the kiln cycle is complete, the wood is then either packaged or delivered loose straight to our customers.
7.
The final step of our process is a hassle free, roaring, toasty fire for our customers!
