Sunny Logs is a local family business (women led!) who supply quality firewood within 10 miles of Salisbury. Kiln dried Oak logs, that’s pretty much the best wood fuel you can get!
WE ARE NOW SOLD OUT FOR THIS SEASON…
DELIVERIES WILL RESUME IN EARLY OCTOBER
WE WILL START TAKING BOOKINGS FROM AUGUST 2021
We know the importance of quality logs – We have been active in the wood burning industry for over 10 years; Does “Heart of the Home Ltd.” woodburner installations ring a bell?
We like to keep it simple, and we are proud to present our one and only product “the Sunny Bag”; just a more fancy name for the commonly called a ”Dumpy bag”, ”Ton bag” or “Builders bag”! The Sunny Bag consists of split oak logs, kiln dried (<15% moisture) for a very hot and slow burn and cut into 25cm length. That’s not all – Sunny Logs provide free delivery within 10 miles around Salisbury! Check out the map to see if we operate in your area. We serve up to 15 miles, but there is a £15 delivery charge.

This season we have added the option to come and collect the bag directly at the barn at dedicated times. This can be handy if you live further away and don’t want to pay delivery fee or if you need bag sooner than first available delivery slots 😉
We are aware of many people are looking to save money by buying seasoned wood, but honestly we believe this is false economy to buy anything else than Kiln Dried hardwood! Did you know that a cubic meter of Kiln Dried wood is likely to produce TWICE as much heat as poorly seasoned wood. It would last you almost TWICE as long and therefore far better value for money! And most important, as it burns hot, it emits less particles helping to control air pollution…
Our logs are perfectly dry at <15% we already comply with DEFRA’s Clean Air Strategy which plans to phase out the sale of wet wood (> 20% moisture) from 2021 to tackle air pollution.
Sustainability is important for us. We guarantee that all our wood comes from responsibly sourced state forests which are FSC certified. This means the forest is managed to ensure they meet the highest environmental and social standards. These forests are always replanted and certain animals who live there are protected. Sunny logs are proud to offer a cosy, but also climate smart source of energy, “wood-energy” to help heating your house as an alternative to fossil fuel heating. A tree will absorb and store as much CO2 from the atmosphere to grow as it releases when it burns in your stove. This is a carbon neutral cycle. Sunny Logs also support the woodland trust charity. We believe their work to conserve, protect and restore ancient woodland as well as planting new trees in crucial to ensure the preservation of our forests for future generations.
Less moisture content * is the key to quality firewood and can be burnt immediately. They are also easier to set alight and produce less gas & smoke.
*compared to approximately 30% in seasoned firewood.
40% more energy per log on average as less energy is required to burn off moisture, leaving more energy to be converted into heat.
Kiln dry wood burn hotter, more efficiently and longer so you use less logs to achieve the same heat output as seasoned logs.
Stacked crates also maximises the amount of wood in a given volume, this highly increases the transport efficiency so you don’t pay for gaps (neither for water content).
Kiln dried logs burn at higher temperatures, any water and sap retained in the wood are burned off, thus low in smoke. This will prevent an excess build-up of soot and tar in the flue which are costly to deal with and could cause chimney fires.
Wood responsibly sourced from FSC certified forests are a renewable energy resource. Kiln dried wood emits less smoke, hence less pollutants into the air than seasoned wood. It’s a better way to heat our homes compared to other fossil fuels.
