Looking for premium kiln-dried firewood in Wakefield? Earnshaws supplies high-quality kiln-dried hardwood logs for delivery across Wakefield and surrounding towns and villages.
Our kiln-dried hardwood is the premium option in our firewood range, offering a low-moisture, ready-to-burn fuel for suitable wood-burning stoves, log burners and open fires.
With moisture content as low as 16%, our kiln-dried logs are convenient to use and provide a consistent supply of dry hardwood fuel.
Good firewood starts with good drying. Burning wood with excessive moisture means energy is used to evaporate water rather than producing useful heat. UK government guidance recommends that domestic firewood has a moisture content of 20% or less. Dry wood burns more efficiently and produces less smoke than wet wood.
Kiln drying allows the moisture content of timber to be reduced in a controlled environment rather than relying entirely on natural seasoning.
The result is a convenient premium firewood product that can be ready to burn when supplied and stored correctly.
Our kiln-dried hardwood logs offer several advantages:
Hardwood is generally denser than softwood and can provide more energy per volume at the same moisture content, while tending to burn more steadily.
Our kiln-dried hardwood logs can have a moisture content as low as 16%.
For domestic wood sold in quantities under 2m³ in England, the Ready to Burn scheme requires a moisture content of 20% or less.
This makes properly dried firewood particularly attractive if you want to buy logs and use them without waiting for a long natural seasoning period.
Earnshaws also supplies air-dried hardwood and softwood firewood.
Air-dried logs are naturally seasoned and can be an economical option where customers have suitable storage and time to allow the timber to dry further if necessary.
Kiln-dried logs provide greater convenience because they have been dried using a controlled process and are supplied at a much lower moisture content.
For customers looking for premium, ready-to-burn hardwood firewood, kiln-dried logs are our premium choice.
Our kiln-dried hardwood logs are suitable for a range of appliances and fires where wood burning is permitted, including:
Always follow your appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
Using dry firewood can improve combustion efficiency and reduce smoke compared with burning wet wood.
