Green Olive apple smokin’ chips give a mild, sweet, fruity smoke that’s perfect for pork and poultry. Apple is one of the gentler smoking woods, so it adds flavour without overpowering lighter meats, which makes these an easy choice if you’re new to smoking.
Chips are the format for shorter cooks. They catch and release their smoke quickly, so they suit sausages, chicken pieces, chops and other faster grilling, where you want a hit of smoke in a shorter window. Scatter a handful onto the coals or into a smoker box.

Green Olive apple smokin’ chunks give a mild, fruity smoke that suits pork, poultry, vegetables and fish. Apple is one of the gentler smoking woods, so it adds flavour without overpowering, which makes it a friendly, all-round choice on the BBQ or in the smoker.
Chunks are the format for longer, low-and-slow cooking. At 3 to 10cm, the pieces smoulder and give off smoke over a longer stretch than chips, so they suit bigger cuts that spend a while on the grill. Add a few to the coals or a smoker box alongside your charcoal.

Green Olive long burn charcoal briquettes are made for steady, drawn-out BBQ cooking. Pressed from sawdust taken from sustainable hardwoods into pillow-shaped briquettes of around 30 to 70mm, they give a long, consistent heat, typically 3 to 4 hours, so you’re not topping up the coals mid-cook.
Briquettes are the choice when you want an even temperature over a longer session, which makes them ideal for low-and-slow cooking and for feeding a crowd. They suit most BBQs.

Green Olive Professional lumpwood charcoal is a 10kg bag of proper big-piece charcoal, made from sustainable hardwood such as oak and beech. The pieces are large, ranging from around 5 to 30cm, and that size is the point: bigger lumps burn hotter and longer than the small, broken-up charcoal you get in a cheap bag.
That makes it suitable for professional events as well as home BBQs, so it’s a good choice whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just want a better, more reliable fire in the back garden. The hotter, longer burn means fewer top-ups and more consistent heat across a cook.

Green Olive Whiskey Oak Barrel smokin’ chunks add a deep, smoky flavour with a touch of whiskey-oak character to food cooked on the BBQ or in a smoker. They suit red meats, meaty fish and hearty vegetables, the bolder ingredients that can take a strong smoke.

These green softwood incised sleepers are a sturdy, good-value choice for landscaping: raised beds, retaining walls, edging and general garden builds. Each one measures 2400mm long by 200 x 100mm, a solid section that stacks and fixes well.
The incised part matters. Small cuts are made across the timber so the preservative soaks in deeper, which helps the wood resist rot and last longer outdoors. These are treated with Tanalith E, a green preservative treatment that makes them suitable for ground-contact use.
Softwood sleepers are light enough to handle and easy to cut and shape on site, so they suit DIY and professional projects alike. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
These green softwood sleepers are new green-treated timber for raised beds, edging, steps and general garden landscaping. Light and easy to handle, they cut and shape readily, which makes them a flexible building block for all sorts of projects.
They’re treated with Tanalith E, which makes them suitable for ground-contact use, so they hold up where untreated timber would rot. The green treatment weathers over time, turning brown and then a silvery grey unless you paint or stain it, which many people are happy to let happen for a natural look.
They come in various sizes, so you can match the sleeper to the job. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888 to check sizes and prices.

Harvey’s block salt is the recognised block salt for Harvey and other block-fed water softeners. It’s pure block salt with no additives, made in England, and supplied as a pack of two 4kg blocks, each about the size of a house brick, with a carry handle.
It’s simple to use. The block sits in about a centimetre of water in the salt tank and dissolves slowly from the bottom. Once it’s down to roughly a third of its size, you put another block on top, so there’s always salt in the machine.
There’s a minimum order of 10 packs, and the per-pack price falls the more you order, as low as £4.90 a pack. Harvey’s has recently re-branded its packaging, so your bags may look different from before.

Harvey’s Mini Curve block salt is made specifically for the Harvey mini curve water softener. The blocks are curved to fit that machine, so it’s important to know this isn’t interchangeable with standard block salt: it only suits the mini curve softener.
Each block is 2.15kg and curved, supplied as a pack of two with a carry handle. It’s pure block salt with no additives, made in England. In use, the block sits in about a centimetre of water in the tank and dissolves slowly from the bottom, and you top up by adding another block.

HeatLogs are compressed sawdust logs that give a lot of heat from a clean, tidy fuel. This pack of 12 suits open fires and multi-fuel stoves, and they’re versatile enough to use outdoors in summer in a chimenea or fire basket too.
They’re made from a sawmill by-product: sawdust that’s dried and compacted under high pressure and heat. The wood’s own natural lignin binds the log together, so there are no adhesives or chemicals added, just compressed wood. They burn with long-lasting, high radiant heat and very little ash, with no sparks or spitting, and they make an excellent mixer alongside ordinary wood logs.

Homefire is a leading British smokeless fuel for open fires and multi-fuel stoves, and it’s authorised for use in smoke control areas. That matters locally: Reading has been a smoke control area since December 2024, so the fuel you burn needs to be on the authorised list, and Homefire is.
Made in Britain and produced to the Ready to Burn standard, it gives a long, clean burn with far less smoke and ash than traditional house coal. This is the 20kg bag, a practical quantity for everyday heating through the colder months.
A single bag is £19.00, with the per-bag price falling to as low as £18.25 when you order more. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
