Firewood

Firewood is an important product obtained when processing wood on the band sawmill. Producing firewood from slabs and loose offcuts is economically efficient and makes use of every part of the log, minimising waste and making wood processing more sustainable.

Process and types of firewood

Slabs from the band sawmill

Sawing logs on the band sawmill produces slabs – narrow, long pieces of wood that are not suitable for further processing into specific products. These slabs, however, make efficient firewood.

Offcuts from blanks (loose)

Besides slabs, sawing also produces offcuts from the ends of blanks. These offcuts, also known as loose firewood, come in various shapes and sizes and can also be used as firewood.

Buying firewood

Firewood in the form of slabs and loose offcuts can be purchased for various purposes, mainly for heating. This is a good option for customers looking for affordable fuel.

Use of firewood

Firewood, including slabs and loose offcuts, is used in households, stoves, fireplaces and solid fuel boilers. Hardwood species offer excellent calorific value and long burning time.
