Woodsure, runs the the UK’s woodfuel accreditation scheme known as “Ready to Burn”.
The initiative is is the Ready to Burn certification mark, available to suppliers with logs boasting a moisture content below 20%. Emphasising pre-packed woodfuel, the scheme aims to address concerns about air quality linked to wood stoves, and BBQs and to educate consumers about the importance of burning dry wood.
Recent discussions have highlighted the potential lack of awareness among consumers purchasing retail bags of woodfuel. The focus is on whether they realise that the wood they burn might not be suitable for immediate use. Burning wet wood significantly contributes to particulate emissions, whereas burning dry wood offers substantial benefits, especially in modern stoves designed for this purpose.
Key industry players, including major producers of pre-packed woodfuel, have committed to a scheme that not only clearly identifies ready-to-burn wood at the point of sale but also raises awareness among consumers. This initiative aims to ensure that consumers only burn low moisture, ready-to-burn firewood.

About the ‘Ready to Burn’ Initiative:
The initiative is designed for wood log producers and features a distinct certification category for dry firewood logs. To qualify, producers must demonstrate through audits and fuel testing that woodfuel labeled as ‘Ready to Burn’ meets specific criteria:
1. Labeled as ‘Ready to Burn’
2. Less than 20% moisture content
3. Point of sale information, labelling, and support
Where applicable, retailers receive information on effective storage to maintain firewood quality
Making dry fuel recognisable to consumers and differentiating it from wet wood will not only boost the sale of dry wood but also educate consumers about its benefits.
The Woodsure scheme operates on the principle that raw materials, from tree collection to forestry thinning or post-timber processing, are legally sourced, processed to meet size and moisture requirements, and clearly identified for the end consumer. HETAS, the Stove Industry Alliance, and pre-packed woodfuel producers support the scheme, and a proposed governance body will oversee its implementation.
