Alder Firewood is an economical and versatile heating fuel, offering fast ignition, efficient burning, and a pleasant sweet aroma. With a calorific value of approximately 17.5 million BTU per cubic metre, carefully dried alder logs provide a clean and comfortable fire with minimal smoke and ash when properly seasoned.

Thanks to its lower density, alder burns faster than denser hardwoods, making it particularly suitable for spring and autumn heating, morning fires, fireplaces, and open fires. It is also easy to split and seasons relatively quickly, making it a convenient choice for households looking for accessible and affordable firewood.

• Fast Burning – Ideal when quick, effective heat is required.
• Easy to Split – Straight grain and lower density make processing simple.
• Quick Seasoning – Can typically season faster than denser hardwoods.
• Pleasant Aroma – Produces a naturally sweet and inviting fragrance when burned.
• Low Smoke & Ash – Properly seasoned logs provide a cleaner-burning fire.
• Economical Choice – Offers a practical balance between heating performance and affordability.

Alder firewood can also be combined with denser hardwoods to achieve a balance of quick heat and longer-lasting combustion. For best performance, store the logs in a dry, well-ventilated area and ensure they are properly seasoned before burning.
