At T Hunter and Son we pride ourselves in supplying our customers the best products possible at competitive prices.

All our wood supplies are sourced from official wood harvesters contracted to fell renewable man made forests, that are cultivated and re-planted. Most our wood supplied is of the soft wood variety and mainly Spruce , Lodge pole pine or Larch. All soft woods can be used in wood stoves, multi fuel fires and open fires. Hard wood logs are also available
All wood supplied by T Hunter and Son has less than 21% moisture content which is ideal for burning. This is achieved by storing the logged wood inside buildings to allow drying. Remember by burning damp wood the majority of the energy produced is used up drying the log while burning. The moisture then has to go somewhere -- and that’s up your chimney. Which will eventually get covered in tar and heighten the chances of a fire in your chimney. Nobody takes the care like T Hunter and Son to ensure you get dry wood.

Some tips on burning wood
- Its best to season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6 months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood.
- Wood burns best when the moisture content is less than 21 percent. You can purchase a wood moisture meter to test the moisture content of your wood before you burn it.
- Store wood outdoors, stacked neatly off the ground with the top covered.
- Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood that has been split properly.
- Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling or consider having a professional install a natural gas or propane log lighter in your open fireplace.
- Burn hot fires.
- To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood-burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors.
Items You Should Never Burn in Your Appliance
- Never burn household garbage or cardboard. Plastics, foam and the colours ink on magazines, boxes, and wrappers produce harmful chemicals when burned. They may also damage your wood-burning appliance.
- Never burn coated, painted, or pressure-treated wood because it releases toxic chemicals when burned.
- Never burn driftwood of the beach, plywood, particle board, or any wood with glue on or in it. They all release toxic chemicals when burned.
- Never burn wet, rotted, diseased, or mouldy wood.
Safe Wood-burning Practices
- Keep all flammable household items—drapes, furniture, newspapers, and books—far away from your open fire or appliance.
- Start fires only with newspaper and dry kindling. Never start a fire with gasoline, kerosene or a propane torch.
- Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) logs.
- Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove or fireplace insert – they are made for open hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose those made from 100 percent compressed sawdust.
- Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smouldering fire is not a safe or efficient fire.
- Keep the doors of your wood-burning appliance closed unless loading or stoking the live fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
- Regularly remove ashes from your wood-burning appliance into a metal container with a cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on a wood deck or near wood).
- Keep a fire extinguisher handy
