Our Top 10 Tips for Keeping Warm This Winter

Use Premium, Kiln-Dried Logs

• Premium kiln-dried logs have a lower moisture content, so they burn hotter and longer than green or unseasoned wood. This helps you get more heat per log and reduces how often you need to stoke the fire.

Invest in Quality Insulation

• Keep the warmth in by ensuring your home is well-insulated. Good insulation in your walls, attic, and floors can significantly reduce heat loss and keep your home cozy.

Seal Drafty Areas

• Drafts around windows and doors let cold air in. Use draft excluders or weather stripping to seal these gaps and help maintain a warm environment.

Use Thermal Curtains

• Heavy or thermal curtains help keep heat from escaping through windows. Close them in the evenings for an extra layer of insulation.

Burn Dry Wood Only

• Avoid burning wet or green wood, which produces less heat and more smoke. Ready-to-burn logs, like ours, offer optimal heat efficiency and are environmentally friendly.

Layer Up Indoors

• Wearing extra layers inside helps retain body heat, which can lower your heating costs. Cozy jumpers, socks, and blankets work wonders.

Use a Fireguard or Reflector

• If you have an open fireplace, use a fireguard or heat reflector to direct more warmth into the room and increase heating efficiency.

Keep Your Chimney Clean

• Regularly cleaning your chimney improves your fire’s efficiency, reduces smoke, and enhances safety by preventing creosote buildup.

Close Off Unused Rooms

• Keeping doors closed in unused rooms helps concentrate warmth in the main living areas, making heating more efficient.

Stock Up on Firewood Early

• Cold spells often increase demand for quality firewood. Stock up on our kiln-dried logs early to stay prepared for the coldest days of winter.
