A log store with a 1 m³ capacity can hold approximately 300 standard logs. Therefore, a store with 0.5 m³ of space will hold roughly 150 standard logs, and so on. Of course, any log store that can hold 600 logs is bound to take up a fair amount of space, and this 262 cm wide, 131 cm tall unit needs quite a large area to stand in. It’s therefore best suited to medium/large outdoor spaces, unless you don’t mind having a log store as the primary focus in your garden.

The majority of log stores can be assembled within 1 – 2 hours. A lot of them come with pre-drilled, or at least started-off, screw holes.Ideally, look for stores made from FSC certified wood ; wood that has an FSC label comes from forests that are responsibly managed, something that can help reduce the damaging effects of deforestation.

This way the logs will be dried by the warmth of the sun and ventilation from the draft, but they won’t have rain blown directly on them when the weather is bad. The front is open, so positioning it out of prevailing winds will benefit your logs, but generally the pressure-treated wood construction, along with the feather-board sides, and overhanging roof are well designed to keep precipitation out.Keeping logs dry is no mean feat, especially in certain parts of the UK where the wind and rain can be somewhat relentless. Fortunately, this Large Log Store from The Garden Supplies Centre is a great medium-size log store that won’t let a squall or a flurry permeate its walls. If you’re placing your log store in a windy area, where you think a lot of rain may be blown in if you have a unit with slats, feather-edge panels will be a better, more-protective, bet. Good Ventilation and Weather Protection Brazier is a CPL product as is Homefire and I have read that it is the same as Excel but at the moment I am sitting outside and my neighbour is burning Excel and it stinks like burning plastic whereas the Brazier I am burning doesn't have the same reek to it. So I'm not convinced its the same. Brazier seems to have different sizes ovoids in the bag which looks a bit like a mix of phurnacite and taybrite to me. I'm no expert but its definitely not as good as Homefire in my stoves... There are few things more pleasant than the luxury of warming yourself by a log-burning fire in the depths of winter.
