Firewood for sale
Firewood, an essential survival tool, has not lost any of it's popularity and it certainly has kept most of it's important uses.
We no longer need to make a fire to keep the wild animals at bay during the night, but we can certainly enjoy the benefits of a roaring fire in the fireplace during the cold winter evenings. And there's a lot to be said for a piece of meat which has been cooked to perfection on a wood burning braai.
The best firewood in Johannesburg needs to be dry, easy to light, make good coals - even better when it is delivered conveniently for free!
Wood that is intended for burning in a fireplace should burn long and hot. This means that the wood needs to be dry enough to burn without filling the room with smoke, yet it still needs to contain enough moisture to prevent the logs from going up in flames and burning out after a very brief period. The best quality firewood in Johannesburg is from www.firewood.joburg , which is where many suppliers get their stock from. We will deliver directly to you, saving you time and money.
The best firewood for the fireplace in Johannesburg are Red Saligna and Blue Gum, both of these trees grow well in the South African climate and there are ample plantations available. Sustainable harvesting methods are key in ensuring that the wood supply remains abundant.
Things to look out for to cut your wood costs.
Burning wood in a fireplace as a means of heating will surely help you cut down on those electricity bills that running an electric heater brings with it.
Speak to your wood supplier if you are buying firewood from him for the first time and confirm how much wood will be delivered and what their description in the advertisement really means.
You can save even further by buying your wood wisely.
- Wood should not have too much moisture as it won't burn as readily or as hot as well seasoned wood. Wood should have between 20 and 25 percent moisture.
- Beat two pieces of wood from the same pile together and you should almost get a ringing sound out of the wood. If all you get is just a dull thud then the moisture levels are too high.
- You can tell that firewood has been well seasoned if the ends of the log have visible cracks.
- Firewood bought at a convenience store or on the side of the road will last you only a night or two before it needs to be replaced and it almost certainly will cost comparitively more than if you had bought a load of wood.
