Love Logs

Heather and Paul founded Love Logs in August 2020 after they bought firewood online for their new pizza oven. The buying and delivery experience was awful; they weren’t convinced we were going to get the right product and they were horrified at the amount of plastic packaging.

When they finally arrived, the logs were the wrong size for the oven, so Paul spent every weekend splitting logs so they could use their new pizza oven. 

They'd moved into a house with a log burner a few months earlier and already struggled with buying bulk loads of firewood, all of which were hard work and none of which were a consistent quality 

Used to buying anything they wanted online, they couldn’t believe that nobody offered fast, free, high quality log delivery without any plastic packaging.

While further researching the industry they were gobsmacked to discover that more than 50% of the firewood and 95% of charcoal sold in the UK is imported, driven thousands of miles from Eastern Europe or brought on a ship from South America, when we have a thriving forestry industry right here in the UK. Madness!

They knew we could do it better, so they quit their jobs, taught themselves how to build and run an online business and set out on a mission to drive change in the antiquated firewood industry.

Sustainability, quality and convenience are what Love Logs stands for. 

Over the last three years, Heather and Paul have been blown away by how many people have been prepared to pay a little bit more for a top quality, sustainable product. Some of their proudest achievements so far are:

  • Planted more than 50,000 trees 
  • Received over 1,600 5-star reviews
  • Heated over 100,000 cosy nights in
  • Baked more than 500,000 pizzas
  • Fuelled over 50,000 BBQs

More established firewood companies have followed their lead by offering their own plastic free options and talking more about sustainability, with one even copying our tree planting pledge.

Rather than being afraid of competition, Heather and Paul love being the driving force behind this industry-wide change and want to encourage more companies to go even further.
