The Woodsure quality assurance scheme is for woodfuel producers. Certification checks length, diameter and moisture content. Suppliers must demonstrate through audit and strict fuel testing, this testing reuires that firewoodmust be under 20% moisture content, and all woodfuel must be able to prove the necessary traceability under EU Timber Regulations and is legally sourced.
Woodsure is a not-for-profit organisation, striving to raise the quality of woodfuel in the industry. The Woodsure certification scheme and its logo shows woodfuel users the suppliers and products that they can trust.
The burning of freshly cut or unseasoned wet wood contribute significantly to high levels of particulate emissions. Conversely burning dry wood has significant and demonstrable benefits in greatly reduced emissions, it also significantly reduces the amount of soot and tar build up within a chimney.
