A review claims wood was wet

All deliver free. It may take more than one load for the amount we need. Dryness is really important. From a quick look at our burner manual I think it recommends soft wood have a year of seasoning, hard wood 2 years. City Firewood seems to emphasise that its wood is well seasoned.

If anyone can endorse any of these suppliers or has any other favourite suppliers that would be great.

The partly covered concrete path behind the common room looks fine for storage - with a tarpaulin.
