Product Description
Larch stands apart in the softwood family. Denser than pine or spruce, yet quicker to light than hardwood, our British larch logs offer the perfect balance for modern fire management. They're the thinking person's choice for controlled, efficient heating throughout your Oxfordshire home.
Why Larch Makes Sense
Not every fire needs to burn all night. Sometimes you want quick warmth for a couple of hours on a chilly autumn evening. Perhaps you're firing up the pizza oven for weekend entertaining, or creating atmosphere around the fire pit. That's where our larch logs excel – responsive, controllable heat exactly when you need it. Each delivery contains approximately 275 precisely cut logs, kiln dried to below 20% moisture. This ensures they light easily with just kindling and catch quickly, reaching optimal burning temperature in minutes rather than the half-hour hardwood might take.
The Versatile Performer
Our customers love larch logs for their flexibility:
- Morning warm-ups – Quick heat while the coffee brews
- Pizza ovens – Reaches high temperatures fast, perfect for authentic cooking
- Fire pits – Bright, lively flames for garden gatherings
- Shoulder season heating – Ideal for spring and autumn when you don't need all-day heat
- Mixed burning – Combine with hardwood for the perfect fire profile
Natural Fire-Starting Properties
The resinous nature of larch means these logs catch easily and burn with distinctive bright flames. You'll notice the pleasant, slightly sweet aroma – nothing overwhelming, just a gentle reminder you're burning quality British timber. The natural resins also mean less kindling required, saving you time and effort.
Sustainable British Forestry
Our larch comes exclusively from UK forests where it's grown as a commercial crop. Fast-growing and hardy, larch actually improves British woodland biodiversity when properly managed. By choosing British larch over imported softwood, you're reducing transport emissions whilst supporting local forestry employment.
Professional Tips for Larch
While larch burns hotter initially than hardwood, it also burns faster. We recommend: - Using larch to establish your fire, then adding hardwood for longevity - Keeping logs slightly smaller for pizza ovens and fire pits - Storing under cover – whilst kiln dried, larch can absorb moisture quicker than hardwood - Having both larch and hardwood available for maximum flexibility
Excellent Value, Reliable Service
At £125 per cubic metre, our larch logs offer exceptional value for money. They're perfect for those who want quality firewood without the premium hardwood price. As always, we deliver promptly across Oxfordshire, with approximately one cubic metre of logs tipped exactly where you need them.
