More than a product,
an everyday experience

A blend of hardwoods designed for performance

Oak, hornbeam, beech and ash: four species recognised for their high calorific value and slow combustion. You get steady heat, beautiful flames and embers that last through the night effortlessly.

This balanced blend prevents flue buildup and limits deposits. Clean combustion, pure and simple.

Drying controlled in a kiln, not by the weather

Our logs spend several days in a kiln at 80°C. The result: stable moisture content under 20%, regardless of the season. No more logs that whistle or struggle to ignite.

You gain in energy efficiency and ease of use, right from the first fire.

A family-run, local operation

Our wood comes from sustainably managed French forests in Gard and the Cévennes. We work directly with local forest owners, respecting regeneration cycles.

You heat your home with a traceable product, without distant intermediaries.

Before you order

Why choose 50 cm logs instead of 33 or 25 cm?

The 50 cm format suits large fireplaces (open fireplaces, large inserts, compatible wood stoves). It delivers longer combustion and cuts down on refuelling throughout the evening.

What's the difference between kiln-dried and air-dried firewood?

Kiln-drying at 80°C guarantees stable moisture content below 20% within days, regardless of weather. Air-drying takes 18 to 24 months and results vary with conditions.

Are these logs suitable for a high-efficiency wood stove?

Yes. The controlled moisture content and hardwood blend meet modern stove requirements: clean combustion, minimal smoke, optimal performance.

How long does a fire last with this blend?

Thanks to the oak and hornbeam, you get long-lasting embers that hold easily 2 to 3 hours. Perfect for maintaining heat without constant monitoring.

Is the wood ready to burn upon delivery?

Yes. Kiln-dried, it's ready to use straight away. A few days' storage in a ventilated shelter is enough to perfect acclimatisation before use.

How should I store my logs after delivery?

In a ventilated shelter, raised off the ground (pallet or battens), protected from rain but not fully enclosed. Air must circulate to keep moisture content low.

Will this wood clog my chimney flue?

No, provided the draught is correct. Dry, hard wood like ours greatly limits creosote buildup, unlike damp or resinous wood.

Clean delivery Pallet well wrapped, uniform 50 cm logs. Tested the same evening: quick ignition and a lovely flame. I'm planning to order again next winter.

Really kiln-dried logs The 50 cm logs light up without difficulty, even with newspaper. The moisture content advertised is well respected, you see the difference right away compared to standard wood.

Good product Well-dried firewood, ready to burn. A few logs were a bit large to split for my stove, but overall the quality is spot on. Good heat output.

Beautiful blaze The ash catches fire very quickly, perfect for starting the evening off. Then the oak takes over for sustained heat. Well-balanced mix, exactly what was needed.

Good overall quality Well dried, clean logs. 50 cm length perfect for my fireplace. Tiny bit of bark that comes away but nothing bothersome, combustion is spot on.

Satisfactory Kiln-dried firewood as described. 50 cm format strictly respected. A few logs slightly warped but burns well. Good alternative to the usual retailers.

Heats very well I've been using this wood in my fireplace insert for two months. The heat is steady and reliable. The logs are uniform – perfect for stacking under the log shed.

Little sooting After several weeks of use, my flue stays clean. It's a sign of truly kiln-dried firewood. Main heating this winter, satisfied with the output.

Top performance With the 80°C kiln-drying promised, I was a bit sceptical. Result: clean combustion, no whistling, fewer reloads than before. My consumption has gone down.

Long-lasting embers The blend of four wood species really makes the difference. Oak embers hold overnight in my wood stove. I restart without trouble in the morning.

Oak well represented You can recognise the oak by its density and how long the embers last. The mix is consistent with what's advertised. Effective supplementary heating, lovely outdoor aroma.
