Check out our Frequently Asked Questions below for commonly asked questions
We have a year-round supply of firewood available which is seasoned for a minimum of 3 years plus kept undercover to ensure you can utilise straight away. Using naturally felled timber from our property at Mullumbimby Creek plus cuts from hardwood timber posts from our fencing jobs ensures we can keep overheads low to pass on savings to our customers. Our firewood is a either a mixture of slow and hot burning hardwoods to assist with ease of lighting and keeping your fire burning for a longer duration with minimum smoke and ample heat. OR hardwood only to ensure hot burns with longer burns.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How heavy are the bags?
Each of our firewood bags weigh between approximately 19kg and 21kg. They are therefore marked as 20kg using the Average Quantity System which allows for a shortfall no greater than 5%.
How can you keep your prices so low compared to other suppliers?
We are fortunate not to have many of the overheads of other suppliers. We utilise our own well seasoned felled timber off our own property at Mullumbimby Creek to avoid bringing timber from other areas therefore lessening not only costs yet also the kilometres traveled with costly transport. We are also a small family farming enterprise using our own labour to source, block then split the timber for firewood prior to packaging or delivering. We also use cuts left over from our hardwood timber fencing jobs.
What type of timbers do you use?
Bransons Rural Services use a variety of timber mainly box, Iron bark, blackbutt, tallow wood, yellow stringbark and salmon gum. We trial each new tree with a small fire in the yard and a beer or sometimes even two…
Why do you mix the types of timbers?
Every type of timber has a different quality whether it is long burning, ‘hot’ burning, easy to light etc. For this reason our feedback from hundreds of satisfied customers has been that they prefer a mixture of timbers to really build a kicker of a fire whether it is indoors or outdoors.
Can I get just one type of timber?
Due to the way our timber is loaded into our shed out of the weather to ensure year long supply – it would be time consuming to sift through for one type only for bulk loads. When we sell bagged timber it is often hardwood only – check the description or contact us to confirm.
How do I know how much a cubic metre of firewood will be?
To calculate the volume, multiply the length by the width by the height of the stack (in metres): -volume in m3 = (width) m x (height) m x (length) m. Picture a metre ruler measuring a cube with all dimensions even one metre lengths.
Will you stack the loose load of firewood when you deliver?
We have a super fancy tipper tray on our delivery Chevy which will unload your firewood with ease to your preferred accessible location. We can also help stack your delivery at an extra cost of $30 per load (subject to availability and location)
Can we keep the bags?
You are more than welcome to keep and reuse the bags our firewood is packed into.
Do you sell timber blocks to use to split firewood ?
Yes, upon request we can supply suitable hardwood blocks suited to elevation of your split timber to axe yourself. The use of a timber block rather than splitting directly on the ground has several advantages. The first and most important one is increased safety. By using a raised timber block to split it means the final resting place of the axe is further from your feet. It also decreases the likelihood of blunting your axe by hitting dirt and rocks by trying to split on the ground. Splitting timber on a dirt surface will also be an inefficient use of your axe-persons energy as most of the force will be dispersed through the ground rather than the timber making it harder to split.
We can also supply timber blocks for splitting plus seating or garden decor etc.
I’m struggling to get my fire lit in our fireplace – any tips on lighting a fire in a fireplace?
Have you had your chimney checked and cleaned recently? The main reason that your fire may be challenging to light is due to lack of adequate airflow. To have a good fire a lot of air is required. There is already a large volume of air flowing up your chimney, and there must be a sufficient air supply in the house also to ensure adequate oxygen is available for your fire. Many more modern homes are fully insulated and weather sealed to make it more energy efficient. This can often cause the fireplace to be smokey, sluggish or difficult to start. Many people often use pine cones or pine tree needles for fire starting which is awesome yet can cause to resin build up in flues and chimneys – see above re lack of oxygen.
