There is the age old debate about how much firewood Perth should be costing you. Should it be as much as you are paying? Firewood is expensive only because trees are very precious and firewood has to be manufactured very carefully to ensure that trees are looked after and to ensure that the whole process becomes or is a sustainable one. Firewood should be bought directly from the suppliers which means it should be bought directly from the person who owns the forest and who has workers who cut the firewood, bag it and sell it to you. But this is still a tricky process as you need to know that the right trees are being grown and cut down, that the firewood you buy is what is known as ethical firewood, and that the forests are definitely replaced.
Ask the firewood manufacturer questions
Before you start up a relationship with a firewood specialist and firewood delivery, ask a whole bunch of questions. Ask them where the firewood comes from, what kind of trees are grown, are these trees that are supposed to be used for firewood, are the forests replaced, do they recycle the plastic that they pack the firewood in, and is the entire process sustainable. If they can easily answer your questions, then set up a relationship with them. Let them be your regular firewood supplier, especially if you are happy with the price and with the service.
Firewood can be expensive but it is more expensive if you buy from a third party who cannot answer any of the questions above. While you might be tempted to buy firewood from the corner cafe, we suggest you don’t do this unless you are really stuck. There is plenty of firewood Perth and you just need to find the right and professional and ethical supplier.
