Celebrating the Year of the Wood Dragon: Tradition Meets Sustainability at reservoir logs

As the Chinese New Year approaches, heralding the Year of the Wood Dragon, reservoir logs invites you to embrace the warmth and vitality of this auspicious time with our premium, kiln-dried hornbeam and alder This year, we draw inspiration from the age-old traditions of the Chinese New Year, merging them with our commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious heating solutions.

The Essence of the Wood Dragon in Our Hearth

The Wood Dragon, symbolizing strength, innovation, and renewal, resonates deeply with our ethos at reservoir logs. As we explore the traditions surrounding the Chinese New Year, we find a special connection with the practice of burning the first incense at temples, a gesture of sincerity and hope for a prosperous year ahead​​. This ritual, emblematic of renewal and spiritual cleansing, mirrors the clean, efficient burn of our hornbeam and alder logs, providing not just physical warmth but a symbol of new beginnings and sustainable living.

• Hornbeam Firewood: Renowned for its slow burn and high energy output, hornbeam is the ideal choice for those seeking efficiency and sustainability. Perfect for gathering your family around the hearth on these special days. Explore hornbeam.
• Alder Firewood: With its quick ignition and consistent burn, alder offers a cleaner, more sustainable way to celebrate the new year. Its light, pleasing aroma adds to the festive atmosphere. Learn more about alder.

Embracing Traditions: Spring Festival Couplets and Firecrackers

In the spirit of the Chinese New Year, homes and temples across China are adorned with Spring Festival couplets, poetic wishes for luck and prosperity written on red paper. This tradition, evolving from the ancient practice of using peach wood boards for protection, now symbolizes bright wishes for the future​​. Like these couplets, the warmth from our firewood carries wishes for a prosperous and cosy year into your home.

The excitement of the New Year is also marked by the burst of firecrackers at midnight, scaring away evil spirits and welcoming good fortune​​. While we light up our fireplaces and wood stoves with reservoir logs' firewood, let's reflect on this vibrant tradition, symbolizing the expulsion of the old and the embrace of the new.
