Why bolstering your wood supply in the winter months is a great idea

As the short, cold nights are here to stay for the next few months, one of the seasonal joys of this time of year is a roaring indoor fireplace. At Homefire, we have a broad selection of firewood products that are perfect for keeping your family warm. Here are some of the reasons why you should continually bolster your firewood supply this winter to ensure you don’t run out when you need it the most. 

You wont run out during peak demand

When the nights draw in, and the cold weather is here to stay, families throughout the country turn to roaring open fireplaces to bring warmth and cosiness to their homes. From autumn through to spring, firewood suppliers are in peak season, and some undoubtedly run short of supplies. 

Fireplace

Given that lots of families set a fire several times a week during the winter months, the last thing you want is to run out of fuel. Adding firewood to your store throughout autumn and winter is a good idea, so you can always turn to your supply as and when you need it. 

  

Buying in bulk offers savings

If you have somewhere to safely secure your firewood at home, buying firewood in bulk is a smart move for more reasons than one. It’s usually cheaper to buy in bulk, and doing so means you’re unlikely to run out during the winter months when you’re regularly lighting your fireplace. It’s also less hassle, as you don’t need to worry about whether or not you’ve got enough wood to set your fire. You can rest assured that the crate of kiln-dried firewood that you had delivered will last you through the winter.
 

You can enjoy a roaring fireplace throughout the winter 

We’ve alluded to this already, but regularly bolstering your wood supply in the winter months enables you to enjoy a roaring fireplace throughout the winter.

Few things are as wholesome as settling down in front of an open fireplace with loved ones as you tune into your favourite movie or play a game of Monopoly. 

What’s more, if you invite friends over for some mulled wine on a cold, crisp evening, you can light the fire pit in the back garden and enjoy an impromptu night under the stars - what’s not to love about that? 

 

You will have some ready for the spring and summer 

Some people aren’t keen on buying firewood throughout the winter in case they don’t use it all. But as the weather improves and you no longer feel the need to use your indoor fireplace, it’s time to jet wash your outside space and prepare your firepit for spring and summer. 

The same is true of your BBQ, which you will need to dust down and prepare for the changing of the seasons. In other words, if you’ve regularly bolstered your supply of firewood throughout the winter, it will be ready for use outdoors in the spring and summer months when you begin entertaining your friends and family members in the garden. 

If you’re looking to add to your stock of firewood as winter sets in, we have you covered. Our heat logs and instant light fire logs are perfect for anyone looking to set a home fire in no time at all, without the fuss traditionally associated with lighting a fire. 

You might also consider a large handy bag of kiln-dried firewood, which has been dried to a moisture content of 20% or less. So, save yourself some time by ordering your firewood online this winter, and don’t worry about running out as you go to set your fireplace to warm your loved ones.
