BEETLE NEWS - INTRODUCING OUR BUG FREE GUARANTEE
As you may have already heard, the recent invasion of the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Beetle (PSHB) in South Africa has caused concern. The PSHB Beetle can attack several species of trees, particularly those with compromised immune systems such as Box Elder, Maple, Avocado and many fruit trees. Whilst not impossible, it is very rare for the PSHB to attack the Eucalyptus (Blue gum) and Black Wattle trees as they contain a very high percentage of water which is not an ideal environment for this beetle to breed. The FIre Man only uses Blue Gum and Black Wattle for firewood production. Both species are alien, extremely water-greedy, invasive trees, that were earmarked by the SA Department of Agriculture in 2010 for removal where found up to 20 meters either side of any natural running water. However, even if the dead tree had been infested during its life, our production process ensures that any bugs are dead before bagging. The seasoning process of our logs is between 10-12 months. Logs are cut from the dead trees and left to “solarize” in open fields (left to the natural elements of wind, rain and sun through the seasons thus naturally removing moisture content to below 17% in our case – the optimal level for efficient combustion and vastly depleting any dangerous emissions towards air pollution). According to academic papers, the PSHB beetle can survive 6-8 weeks on dead logs, but certainly no longer. Given that our log processing takes place for over 40 weeks and far away from any living trees, any bugs that might escape the solarization process would die before finding a suitable host to reproduce.
TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR LOGS BUG FREE THIS WINTER

Seasoned wood can provide a cozy environment for insects and small rodents to nest. We provide our no questions asked guarantee that no bugs will be delivered with your logs. Should you find anything other than logs within 72 hours of your delivery, we will collect the entire batch, replace it or refund you without question!

** Ideally store your wood out of their bags in a dry covered area such as a garage or store room

** Spray the area around your stacked logs with an insect repellant
once a week

** Ensure your drains are clean as many bugs love a dirty drain

THE FIRE MAN'S FIREWOOD GUARANTEES FOR YOUR PEACE OF
MIND AND KINDER TO OUR ENVIRONMENT.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READY & SAFE TO BURN GUARANTEE
Every log we deliver will come with our Ready & Safe to Burn guarantee meaning our logs have been seasoned (moisture removed through the natural elements of wind, rain, sun and aeration) to below 17% moisture content. Between 14-19% moisture content is the industry-recommended parameter to provide efficient, easy lighting and economical combustion. Not only inefficient and terribly frustrating, but burning wet wood in a fireplace may also be dangerous to your health. Wet wood produces more smoke than dry wood, which releases more pollutants and small potentially dangerous particles into the air. Burning wet wood in a fireplace can also cause creosote buildup in your chimney, which may create a fire hazard over time.

Always ask any alternative suppliers for accurate moisture content levels before buying.

Our DRY firewood logs are now ready for delivery.

Stock up for winter now and beat the price increase on
8th April 2024. Prices will increase by 10%.

Thank you for choosing The Fire Man to keep your fires burning.

We are truly grateful for your continued support and loyalty.

We regret that an 10% price increase will be applied on all of our products at midnight, 8th April 2024.

We know there’s competition out there claiming to offer cheaper for the same, but we urge you, when comparing prices, that you really are comparing like-for-like.

Here are some important factors to consider:

1.Size of logs - our average standard size log is 28-32cms x 12-16cms

2. Moisture content - This is VITAL if you wish to use the logs this season. We do not sell anything less than 17% moisture content. Anything over 20% simply will not burn. Burning wet wood is also extremely harmful to our environment creating the release of dangerous particles which can cause lung issues, and carbon dioxide and methane to the air, two pollutants that contribute significantly to climate change.

3.Seasoning time - ​how long have the logs been seasoned? i.e left to the elements anything less than 14 months of seasoning will still be more difficult to light and will not produce the kilo-joules of heat required for warmth

4.When volume is offered in number of logs,​ be sure to count what arrives and the size of the logs. 1000 thin pieces will burn very quickly.

5.If advertised as a 'bakkie load', check what size the bakkie is!

6.When quoted for wood, check if the price includes delivery and stacking?
