As the colder months set in, there’s nothing better than the warmth of a real fire. Whether it’s a wood-burning stove, an open fireplace, or a pizza oven, quality firewood makes all the difference, in heat, efficiency, and even safety.
At McAuley’s, we supply premium kiln-dried and seasoned firewood across Northern Ireland, all sustainably sourced from our own tree surgery and woodland management operations. But why does local, kiln-dried firewood matter so much? Let’s break it down.
1. Locally Sourced Means Lower Impact
Buying firewood locally in Northern Ireland doesn’t just support nearby businesses — it also reduces transport emissions and environmental impact. Every bag or load we supply is produced right here from responsibly managed sites, meaning your firewood hasn’t travelled hundreds of miles to reach you.
By choosing McAuley’s, you’re helping support sustainable woodland management and reducing waste — as all our logs come as a by-product of professional tree surgery work.
2. Why Kiln-Dried Firewood Burns Better
If you’ve ever struggled to light a fire or found your logs hissing and smoking, chances are the wood wasn’t properly dried. Our kiln-dried firewood has a moisture content below 20%, which means:
It lights easily and burns hotter.
You’ll use fewer logs to achieve the same heat.
There’s less soot and smoke, keeping your stove or flue cleaner.
It’s simply the most efficient and cost-effective firewood for home heating.
3. Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fire
Different woods burn differently. Our mixed hardwood loads include ash, oak, and beech — all known for long burn times and steady heat. For those who prefer a quicker-burning option, softwood logs are available too — great for kindling or short fires.
Whatever your setup, our team can advise on the best wood type for your stove, fire pit, or pizza oven.
4. Delivery and Collection Options
We offer free delivery within 25 miles of our yards, with flexible load sizes to suit every home or business. If you’re further afield, collection is available directly from our yard by appointment — a great option for those stocking up for winter.
5. Sustainable Warmth, Season After Season
Every log we sell helps close the loop between our tree surgery, woodland management, and firewood supply. It’s a sustainable cycle that makes full use of each tree, reduces waste, and provides affordable heating for homes across Northern Ireland.
So this winter, keep it local — choose McAuley’s Firewood for efficient, sustainable, and affordable warmth.
