Andrews FIREWOOD HAVE CERTIFIED MEASURES ON OUR VEHICLES. THIS MEANS WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND CERTIFIED BY CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO HOLD A STATED VOLUME OF 3.6 CUBIC METRE'S (1 CORD). WHEN ONE OF OUR TRUCK'S IS FULLY LOADED IT CAN CARRY 7.2 CUBIC METRE'S (2 CORDS). THIS ENSURES THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS RECEIVE THE AMOUNT ORDERED.

PLEASE NOTE: FIREWOOD SOLD BY VOLUME IS SOLD AS A 'THROWN MEASURE' THIS MEANS THAT THE QUANTITY OF WOOD IS MEASURED AS IF IT WERE THROWN INTO A CONTAINER, AND NOT AS IF IT WERE STACKED.

Fire Lighting

ALWAYS BURN DRY FIREWOOD. Firewood is considered dry if it contains less than 25% moisture. This is the measure used by the "Consumer" Magazine and other industry watch dogs such as the television program "Target". Because this seems to be the accepted industry standard for dryness, we at Andrew's Firewood use this as our yard stick.

Wood Storage

For convenience, we recommend that you store your firewood as close to your house as possible. Long treks to get your wood in wild winter weather is not much fun. Remember that although your firewood will be delivered nice and dry, if it's exposed to the rain or moisture, your wood can soak up water and become unburnable. We therefore recommend that all firewood is stored in a dry, covered area. It is good to store your wood in a purpose built woodshed, in your garage or under your carport.

Environment

The Consumer magazine says that the cheapest and most environmentally sound home-heating option is to use firewood in a modern woodburner.

Contrary to popular belief, if burned properly firewood is an environmentally friendly choice for heating your home.

This is because wood is both a renewable resource and carbon neutral. Compared to fossil fuels like oil, gas or coal, wood hardly emits any net carbon dioxide into the environment.
