The benefits of Kiln Dried

Simply: "Proper Housewarming"

Kiln dried logs prepared our way ignite better, burn brighter, give off more heat, smoke less, and are ideal for all sorts of fires.
They are better for your wood burner too. Yet they're still perfectly normal looking logs, not re-manufactured like fuel blocks. Kiln dried logs contain less moisture and that is why they burn better and why they are considered the ultimate sort of firewood to get. Dry logs are also a legal requirement since 2021, with a maximum of 20%. We are members of the Hetas Woodsure recognised quality scheme and you can rest assured we work to highest standards. We start with seasoned or part seasoned wood from our stocks, which will have been stored in a windy place for some time to dry out, and we finish drying your logs even further, typically to about 15% moisture. The heat for this process in our kilns comes from renewable energy sources like the sawdust we made from chopping up the wood. No fossil fuels are used. Kiln dried logs from us light easily, burn more efficiently, and will give you more heat. This is because your fire doesn't have to steam off all that water before the wood catches alight so it is giving more efficient combustion. You might not have to stoke up so often or pile on so many logs at a time either to get the warmth you want. And your chimneys shouldn't get so sooty either. |
For best enjoyment remember to store your kiln dried logs away from the weather otherwise in rain and damp air the moisture will creep up again.
