How Different Hardwood Logs Burn
Each hardwood species has different burning qualities – here’s what to expect from some of the woods we supply:
- Oak: Very dense, burns slowly with high heat. Ideal for long-lasting heat output.
- Ash: Burns well, even when not fully seasoned. Offers strong, even heat and easy ignition.
- Birch: Fast burner with a bright flame. Best used with slower-burning logs like oak or ash.
- Apple & Cherry: Sweet-smelling fruitwoods that burn clean with good heat. Great for indoor fires.
- Plum & Pear: Similar to apple wood with a pleasant scent and solid heat.
- Holly: Burns hot and fast when seasoned. Useful for quick heat or to start a fire.
We carefully mix our firewood to give the best of both worlds – quick ignition and lasting warmth.

Top Tips for Using Your Wood Burner Efficiently
- Use dry, seasoned hardwood: Burning unseasoned or wet wood creates excess smoke, soot, and less heat. All our firewood is dry and ready to burn.
- Start with kindling and fast-burning wood: Use our free kindling and quick-ignition logs like birch or apple to establish a hot base.
- Don’t overload the stove: Overfilling restricts air flow and causes poor combustion. Keep it balanced and let air circulate.
- Keep your flue and chimney clean: A yearly sweep prevents creosote buildup, improves efficiency and keeps your home safe.
- Use a stove thermometer: These help you maintain the right burning temperature – typically 110°C–250°C.
Burning Responsibly – For the Environment
At Green Onion Landscaping, we encourage responsible wood burning. Here’s how to keep your fire efficient and eco-friendly:
- Burn only Ready to Burn certified, seasoned hardwood logs (like ours).
- Avoid burning treated wood, MDF, or household rubbish – they release toxic fumes.
- Use a DEFRA-approved stove if you live in a smoke control area.
- Keep your appliance regularly serviced and flue swept to maintain clean burning.

Know your firewood
Wood types and how they burn
Note that all woods burn better when seasoned. Some hardwood or soft wood logs burn better when split rather than as whole hard wood logs. In general the better woods for burning that you are most likely to come by (including non-native species) are:
Seasoned hardwood logs
Apple and pear seasoned hardwood logs - Burn slowly and steadily with little flame but good heat. The scent is sweet and pleasing.
Ash seasoned hardwood logs – The best burning wood providing plenty of heat (will also burn green but you should not need to do this).
Beech and hornbeam logs – Good when well seasoned, and excellent for Christmas time.
Birch – Good heat and a bright flame – burns quickly.
Blackthorn and hawthorn – very good, burns slowly but with good heat.
Cherry seasoned hardwood logs – burns slowly with good heat and a pleasant scent; they smell like flowers in bloom. My favorite and we often have these in stock.
Chestnut logs - very scarce.
Cypress logs – burns well but fast when seasoned and may spit.
Elm logs - burns like smoldering flax. No flame to be seen.
Hawthorn logs - Good to last if you cut them in the Autumn.
Hazel – Good, but hazel has so many other uses hopefully you won’t have to burn it!
Holly logs – Good when well seasoned. You can also burn them when they’re green. Holly logs will burn like wax.
Horse Chestnut wood – Good flame and heating power but spits a lot.
Larch wood – Fairly good for heat but crackles and spits.
Maple wood – Good.
Oak logs - Slow and very hot burning Premium wood fuel, oak logs have a massive heat output that is better than ash, and especially birch. If you want a good heart to your fire then oak will provide this, the smell of oak burning in homes is beautiful and brings winter warmth and heavenly, homely smells.
Pinewood – Burns well with a bright flame but crackles and spits.
Poplar wood – soft and light wood with a low density. It burns fast with high heat. Poplar wood is a good early or late season firewood when temperatures are moderate. Poplar is an excellent wood to mix in with other hard firewood logs, it starts fires well and is great for keeping fires going. Poplar wood is used to make match sticks.
Scotch logs - It is a crime for anyone to sell.
Willow logs – Very good, in fact, there is growing interest in biomass production of coppiced willow as a fuel.
Yew logs – Heats well.
