Description

A ton bag of logs in the UK typically refers to a large, durable bag filled with firewood, often used for burning in fireplaces, wood stoves, or outdoor fire pits. The logs are usually hardwoods like oak, ash, or birch, as these woods burn more efficiently and produce less smoke.

Here’s a detailed description:

• Size: The ton bag itself is usually made of a strong woven polypropylene material, often with reinforced handles, allowing it to hold around 1 tonne (or 1,000 kg) of logs. The bag is large, often measuring approximately 1 meter (3.3 feet) in height and 1 meter in width, but this can vary slightly.
• Logs: The logs inside are typically cut to a standard size of 25 cm (10 inches) in length, though some variations may be larger or smaller depending on the supplier’s specifications. The logs may be split into manageable pieces that are easy to stack and store.
• Wood Type: Most bags contain seasoned hardwoods, which have been dried for at least 6-12 months. These logs burn hotter and more efficiently than softwood, which is why hardwood logs are preferred for heating and long-lasting fires.
• Use: These bags of logs are commonly sold as a convenient way to purchase firewood. People in the UK often use them for home heating during the colder months or for use in outdoor wood-burning stoves and fire pits. Many suppliers offer free delivery, especially in rural areas, making it easy to have a stockpile of firewood ready for the season.
• Appearance: The logs in the ton bag vary in appearance depending on the wood type. They might have rough, textured bark or smooth, polished-looking surfaces depending on whether they have been split or left whole. The bag itself is generally a neutral color, like beige or grey, and sometimes features a label or company name printed on it.

These bags of logs are popular because they offer a practical, ready-to-use solution for those who need firewood, and they make storing and transporting large amounts of logs easier than dealing with loose wood.
