Support & warranty

Problem with your stere?
We’ll sort it out.

Damp firewood, disputed quantity or tricky delivery: we take it from here.

Firewood isn’t an ordinary product: moisture content, wood species, sizing 30/40/50 cm, everything matters for proper heating. We treat every complaint seriously, from checking moisture content to recounting the delivered steres.

2-year warranty
Legal guarantee of conformity

What's covered

  • ✓Moisture content not matching the description (> 20% for kiln-dried firewood)
  • ✓Delivered quantity below ordered volume
  • ✓Different wood species than advertised (oak, beech, hornbeam)
  • ✓Logs out of size or predominantly rotten

Good to know

Wood is a natural product: a few split, debarked or slightly mouldy logs on the surface after storage don’t constitute a defect. Bulking (apparent volume depending on cut) is also normal and documented on every product sheet.

Frequently asked questions

My firewood smokes and lights poorly, what should I do?

Measure the moisture content at the heart of a split log with a meter: above 20%, contact us by email with a photo of the reading. Below that, leave it to dry for 2 weeks under cover before trying again.

It seems I’m missing some firewood from my delivery.

Wood bulks differently depending on the cut (30, 40 or 50 cm): a stere of 30 cm takes up approximately 0.7 m³ stacked. Send us a photo of the delivered stack, we’ll recount with the driver.

Can I return my firewood if I change my mind?

Yes, you have 14 days to cancel, but return costs for the firewood (heavy product) remain your responsibility. The firewood must be returned in its delivery condition.

The wood species delivered doesn't match my order.

If you ordered oak/beech and received poplar or softwood, send us a photo by email. We’ll arrange a cost-free swap with the matching batch.

Easy storage A one-tonne pallet takes up a square metre in my shed, whereas 4 steres would have filled the back of my garden. Very practical and the logs stay dry without any effort.

Finally, clean firewood No more damp logs that smoke and clog the glass. This is pristine – the window stays clear, and so does the flue. The moisture content really makes all the difference.

Immediate heat The calorific value is spot on – heat rises quickly in the room. I have a pellet boiler and the efficiency is excellent since I switched to this product.

Easy storage The pallet fits neatly in a corner of the garage. The bundles of 5 logs are convenient to take out one by one. I appreciate not having to handle dirty wood.

Delivered assembled Received ready to use, no assembly needed. Just take it out of the box and put it down. The asymmetrical shape requires finding the right angle but you get the hang of it quickly.

A few logs slightly too thick Overall very good quality, the wood is kiln-dried and clean. A few logs were slightly thicker and needed splitting for kindling, but I'm happy with the order overall.

Adopted for the conservatory Installed in the conservatory next to the fireplace insert. The mobile design lets me move it when I'm cleaning. The 120 cm height is really handy, no need to bend down.

Long-lasting combustion I can confirm the burning time per log, sometimes even a bit longer if you lower the air inlet. Minor drawback with the 8 cm diameter – a bit tight to fit properly in my fireplace.

Good value for money A simple but well-designed accessory. The sieve really makes a difference to how clean the refill is. The shovel marked slightly on the surface after six months of heavy use, nothing more.

No more dust in the hopper The bottom of the wood pellets bag is always full of powder. With this shovel and its sieve, the dust stays in the shovel and not in the stove. My combustion is noticeably more stable.

Solid and stable Loaded to the brim, it doesn't budge an inch. The steel is a good thickness – nothing flimsy about it. Should last years at this rate.

Quality as promised Kiln-dried firewood, less than 10% moisture content as advertised. Very little ash, very little smoke. The 96 batches are clean and easy to handle. I store in the garage without any issues.

Good product, correct size Used for wood pellets daily. The advertised 50 kg capacity is realistic. I would have liked an even taller version but this one does the job very well.

French manufacturing appreciated Pleased to find compressed wood briquettes made in France from local hardwoods. The quality is there, and so is the combustion. My fireplace has never heated so well. Really impressed.

Works great for the barbecue too I use it to light the fireplace in winter and the barbecue in summer. No flavour transferred to the food – it's pure untreated wood.
