Ready to Burn logs and legal solid fuel

Updated 1 September 2026

In England, small volumes of wood sold for domestic burning should meet Ready to Burn rules (dry enough to limit smoke). Wet wood tars the flue, raises chimney-fire risk, and can void the point of a fresh sweep.

Sweep first if the flue is neglected; then burn dry, approved fuel. Official info: Ready to Burn. Find a registered sweep.
