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.
