Split logs are the traditional wood fuel that have been used for centuries in open fires and more recently in stoves. Firewood supplies are available locally in most rural areas. For successful burning, the moisture content should be below 25% so it is advisable to have covered storage facilities for at least one year's worth of fuel to allow for seasoning.

Fuel demand will depend on the size and thermal efficiency of the heated building. As a rough indication,
a small cottage might use 8m3 of seasoned stacked logs per year, a 3 to 4 bedroom semi-detached house around 12m3 and a detached farmhouse about 16m3.
