Secret to a warm, soft-glowing fire? Finding the right firewood
Posted by Hartnett Products on
Gathering before a wood fire can be an especially sweet time for family and friends, but the firewood you choose can determine whether you have the soft-glow of a warm fire or a hissing, smoky mess.

Posted by Hartnett Products on
The log splitting season is well and truly here and now is the best time to start sawing up your wood and splitting it into firewood for burning next winter.
