Briquettes fuel logs
Maxchips fuel logs burn with a beautiful natural flame in your open fire, multi fuel burners or wood burning stove.
This low-cost, high-energy fuel is FSC certified and 100% sourced from British sawmills from sustainably managed UK forests.
These fuel logs do not spark or spit when burning and leave a tiny amount of ash meaning you empty your ash pan less regularly and your chimney stays cleaner for longer.
With the Woodsure ‘Ready-to-Burn’ accreditation, this product is perfect for chimeneas, firepits, pizza ovens and range cookers.

We also produce and supply wood chip of the desired specification and moisture content for biomass boilers of all sizes.
Our timber is predominantly softwood roundwood sourced from locally managed woodlands.
We have developed strong links with estates and woodland owners and timber contractors to ensure a continuous supply of roundwood for all of our client’s requirements whatever they might be.
Being locally sourced and from virgin timber reduces the risk of contamination and minimises the environmental impact of your fuel.
Our main products are Önorm G30 (ISO P31S) specification chip at 20-25% moisture content, but we can produce a size and moisture grade to suit a customer’s requirements.
MAXCHIPS is BSL registered and certified by the Woodsure quality assurance scheme so you can be sure that our wood chip meets the highest possible quality and sustainability standards.
Once supplied to our production site near Thirsk the roundwood is processed using our lorry mounted Jenz HEM 582 chipper and then dried through either a continuous flow Woodtek drying system or purpose built floor dryer.
