Well these bags are all oak offcuts and oddly enough that can be problematic, Oak is very very dense and has a wonderfully high calorific value. so it dont half burn hot, Infact if i loaded the stove the normal way instead of 450 degrees it would soar to 750 degrees, so I mix it with softer woods and other offcuts. So as we are moving into spring and the stove onlky runs from about 5pm til 9 pm the oak should suppliment the other wood for about six to eight weeks.

its a great free supplimentary source as i can also get a cord of cut logs of the council tre cutter lads for £20.
