01/02/2026
If you have purchased firewood recently, or if you are new to the world of log burners and open fires, you will likely have noticed the distinctive Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme red and orange flame logo appearing on packaging. This is the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme mark, and it represents the most significant shift in the UK firewood market in a generation.
The Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme is a vital step forward, ensuring that you, our customers, get the best possible heat and value from your fuel. If you burn logs in England, understanding the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is essential—not just for legal compliance, but for efficiency, safety, and air quality.
The Ready to Burn certification was established by Defra (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) as part of the government’s Clean Air Strategy. It is administered by Woodsure, a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising the quality of wood fuel.
