Edinburgh Wood Fuel: Now Certified with HETAS and Woodsure Ready to Burn Certification

We are thrilled to share that we have gained the prestigious HETAS and Woodsure Ready to Burn certification. This certification validates our commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable, and environmentally friendly wood fuel to our valued customers in Edinburgh and beyond.

So what does this mean?

The DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) Ready to Burn certification scheme is run by Woodsure. Woodsure is a non-profit organisation striving to raise the quality of wood fuel in the industry. For the past four years, Woodsure has been leading the way in championing the use of less polluting dry wood which is verified by its independent inspectors as having a moisture content of 20% less, meaning it burns with less smoke than wetter wood.

Our customers can be confident that the wood fuel being sold is ready for immediate use and has a moisture content of less than 20% making it more efficient and less polluting than wet wood.

Woodsure set out that

“The new legislation is all about helping to reduce particulate emissions and improve air quality. Certified wood fuels will give you more heat from each piece of Ready to Burn wood fuel burnt. They burn more efficiently than unseasoned, green wood and reduce the environmental impact of burning. Using proven dry wood is also better for your appliance and chimney and will help reduce maintenance and fuel costs.

“The Ready to Burn certification scheme makes it easier than ever for people to identify fuels that meet legal requirements, so they can have complete confidence in what they’re buying.”
