All I have is a phone number and he lives in Prees and runs a farm. I did check Good wood in Prees and he does a load for £160 for small logs and £150 for 10" logs.
I will check that link as I need more than one load to fill log stores -Thanks
PS - I rang that link and they are a large log company with a few other places - They have free delivery if you live within 15miles from them.
Large bag (looks like a small builders bag) is £115 -2x is £110 each - so when the load I have ordered comes I will order one from these and see what the difference is. I used to go to Telford for logs and thought £15 was robbery. Good old days.

Here you go - £170 worth of logs which I have had to split as some were much to big for my small stove. By time I have split the rest this will not fill my smallest log store. I think it's 1.5 cubic meters. - Thank god for electric log splitter.
Seems an ok price and it looks kiln dried (good colour), but looks quite a mix of stuff there? Most of it looks hardwood but a few barks look conifer like.Here you go - £170 worth of logs which I have had to split as some were much to big for my small stove.

Where abouts Shropshire are you and how far from the A49? I'm getting almost double that from a place south of me for a bit more money - £210-240 - Pontrilas sawmills. I ask for 'dried hardwood or block offcuts'. Delivery tends to be free (wrapped on a pallet) as I'm within their local area, but they're a massive sawmill business. No real web presence so they likely just work trade but they have a massive fleet of lorries you see everywhere in forestry. 01981 240444 - say that you're private and looking for firewood. Even the stuff that's been sat in my garage for 3-4 months is still showing <20% moisture.
Certainly Wood is a popular place near me too, but always found them expensive compared to the timber guys we used to use (before Pontrilas).
We started burning again this week, trying not to burn the ash I brought back 3 weeks ago as I tried to bring big logs then for storing... I know it'll burn but it's over 40% so better to store it
