The official body recognised by government for setting standards for wood fuel is Woodsure. Woodsure is the UK’s only woodfuel quality assurance scheme. It certifies suppliers for reliable, high-quality wood fuels.
Woodsure – Ready to Burn
Applies to logs with a maximum moisture content of 20%.
Fuel with a moisture content less than 20% is recommended for modern high performance stoves and generates significantly fewer emissions than burning woodfuel of a higher moisture content (up to 80% less than burning wet wood on an open fire!!).
With the current emphasis on poor air quality, particularly in urban environments, it always pays to burn woodfuel with a moisture content between 8% and 20%.
