Hotmax wood briquettes are a clean, high-heat fuel made from recycled wood particles. The wood is dried to below 20% moisture and compacted into dense briquettes, so they light easily without kindling and burn hot. They suit open fires and wood burners.
Because they’re made from a recycled wood by-product and need no kindling, they’re a practical, environmentally minded alternative to ordinary logs, and they store neatly in their bag. This is the 20kg bag, £14.00 a bag with less to pay per bag the more you order.

This is a bulk 0.80m3 dumpy bag of kiln-dried hardwood logs, the quantity to buy if you burn a fair amount through the winter. The logs suit open fires, multi-fuel and wood-burning stoves, pizza ovens and other wood-burning appliances.
Kiln-drying brings the moisture right down, so the logs light easily and burn cleanly and hot, with far less smoke than damp or unseasoned wood. As kiln-dried hardwood they meet the Ready to Burn standard of 20% moisture or below. They’re a mix of ash, oak and birch, around 22 to 26cm long.
The bag is delivered on the vehicle and tipped from the side onto your drive, so you’ll need space for it to land. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.

This large net of kindling wood is the easy way to get a fire going. Kindling is the small, dry sticks you light first, building up to your logs or coal, and a good netful gets your fire off to a roaring start every time.

Angus & Oink’s Montreal Steak & Burger Rub is a bold seasoning built for steak. It’s a savoury blend that buzzes with dill and garlic, with notes of sweet pickle and a peppery finish from oregano, coriander and caraway. It lifts a good steak without masking it.
It’s just as good on burgers, especially smash burgers on a flat plate or in a cast-iron pan, where it forms a tasty, well-seasoned crust. The 220g tub is gluten free, vegetarian and vegan, and it contains celery, so check the full ingredients if you have allergies.

These oak sleepers are straight-cut, new, untreated hardwood for landscaping. Oak is heavier and more hard-wearing than softwood, so it’s the durable, premium choice for sleepers that need to last and look the part. They’re available in various sizes.
A word on use: these are sold for landscaping use only. As untreated oak, they suit raised beds, edging, steps and garden features where a solid, natural hardwood is wanted. Oak is dense and weighty, so it stays put, and it weathers to a handsome silvery grey over time.

Angus & Oink’s Piri Piri Rub brings the smoky, spicy, citrus-edged flavour of a Piri Piri fakeaway to your own grill. It’s a blend of quality smoked paprika, chilli and black pepper with a hint of citrus, the sort of seasoning that turns a plain chicken into something worth talking about.
It’s a favourite on spatchcock chicken: make a paste with a little olive oil and lemon juice, coat the bird and leave it overnight, then cook it slowly on the grill until the skin crisps. It also works as a rub or marinade for meat, fish, shrimp and vegetables, and even stirred into hummus. The 200g tub is gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, and it contains celery, so check the full ingredients if you have allergies.

These planed and bevelled brown treated sleepers are a tidier, more finished sleeper, also known as planed all round, or PAR. The faces are planed smooth and the square edges are bevelled into a gentle sloping edge, which gives a cleaner look and takes off the sharp corners.
That bevelled edge is why they’re a popular choice for play areas, schools and parks, as well as smart garden landscaping where the timber is on show. Each sleeper measures 2400mm x 200 x 100mm, and the brown treatment suits outdoor use.

To use them, tuck one or two under your kindling, coal or charcoal and light. They catch quickly and burn long enough to get the fuel above them going, which saves the frustration of a fire that won’t take first time.

These are reclaimed grade A Polish oak hardwood sleepers, recycled railway sleepers in good, sound condition. Grade A means the timber is solid and free from rot, well suited to stacking, building retaining walls and a wide range of garden and landscaping jobs.
Each sleeper measures 2600 x 250 x 150mm and weighs around 55kg. That’s the same length and section as our grade A+ German oak sleeper but a lighter bottle of timber, which makes these a little easier to handle while still giving you a proper hardwood sleeper for the money.
Being reclaimed, each one carries the marks of its working life. Expect bolt holes and metal bracing where the track fixings were, and the odd bit of damage or slight wane. For most garden projects that character is part of the appeal. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
