Kiln Dried Logs – The Importance of low Moisture Content
When choosing wood for burning the most important factor which has a significant effect on the amount of heat produced is the moisture content. Any water in the timber has to boil away before the wood will burn, this significantly reduces the heat output and creates lots of tars and smoke, these tars are corrosive causing potential damage to the flue lining and increasing the risk of a chimney fire. Kiln Dried Logs burn hotter and more efficiently, you will use fewer kiln dried logs to achieve the same heat output as seasoned logs.
Our Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs are dried to a moisture content of below 20% therefore achieving maximum efficiency and heat output and avoiding the need for seasoning and outdoor storage. Our Kiln Dried Logs are produced 100% from British forests and are approved on the Ready to Burn Scheme and the Biomass Supplier List (BSL), they have been tested and approved and fulfil the required standards.

Ready to Burn – Quality Assured
Q) WHAT DOES READY TO BURN MEAN?
A) The purpose of the Ready to Burn certification scheme is to provide a recognised quality standard for woodfuel products. Woodfuel carrying the Ready to Burn logo has been tested and proven to fulfil the required standards. Fuel quality is a vitally important consideration for anyone operating a wood burning stove; poor quality fuel is one of the main causes of faults, chimney fires, air quality issues and breakdowns.
Q) WHY USE READY TO BURN ACCREDITED FUEL?
A) The fuel will have the right moisture content for your boiler/stove to work at optimum efficiency.
It provides a guarantee that the fuel you buy meets recognised standards and fulfils the required specification for your appliance, securing your warranty.
Product labelling is consistent across suppliers, enabling the customer to make an informed choice.
In short, you will have fewer issues with your boiler or stove, your appliance will run more efficiently, with reduced reliance upon back-up systems.
Hardwood v Softwood
Hardwood tends to be more dense and so heavier in weight, generally Hardwood will produce more heat and burn hotter than Softwood. You may need to burn fewer Hardwood Logs but Softwood Logs are easier to light and great if you want a fire with a lower heat output perhaps in Spring and Autumn.
