Why Choose Kiln-Dried Firewood?

The most important consideration when buying firewood is how dry it is. Wet or insufficiently seasoned wood uses some of the energy produced by combustion to evaporate its moisture, reducing the efficiency of the fire. Government guidance recommends burning wood with a moisture content of 20% or less. Dry wood produces less smoke and provides better heat efficiency.

Kiln drying accelerates the drying process in a controlled environment, producing consistently dry firewood that can be ready to burn when supplied and stored correctly.

This makes kiln-dried logs particularly convenient for customers who want to order firewood and use it straight away.

Why Kiln-Dried Hardwood Is Earnshaws' Premium Firewood

We regard our kiln-dried hardwood logs as the premium product in our firewood range because they combine the qualities customers are looking for in high-quality firewood:

  • Low moisture content
  • Ready-to-burn convenience
  • Consistent drying
  • Dense hardwood timber
  • Reliable heat output
  • Easy lighting
  • Less smoke than wet or inadequately seasoned wood
  • Suitable for a wide range of modern wood-burning appliances

Hardwood is generally denser than softwood and, at the same moisture content, contains more energy by volume and tends to burn more steadily.

For customers who want a premium firewood product with minimal preparation, kiln-dried hardwood is a natural choice.

Ready-to-Burn Kiln-Dried Logs

Our kiln-dried hardwood logs can have a moisture content as low as 16%, below the 20% moisture level used for the UK’s Ready to Burn standard.

For smaller quantities of domestic firewood sold in England, Ready to Burn certification requires wood to have a moisture content of 20% or less.

Keeping logs dry after delivery is important because even properly dried firewood can absorb moisture if it is exposed to rain or stored incorrectly.

Kiln-Dried Hardwood vs Air-Dried Firewood

Earnshaws also supplies air-dried hardwood and softwood logs, so customers can choose the firewood that best suits their requirements.

Air-dried logs are naturally seasoned over time. They can be an economical choice for customers who have suitable storage and can allow the timber to continue drying where necessary.

Kiln-dried logs offer greater convenience because the drying process is controlled and they can be supplied at a low moisture content ready for use.

If you want ready-to-burn firewood without waiting for logs to season, kiln-dried hardwood is our premium option.

Kiln-dried hardwood logs can be used in suitable:

  • Wood-burning stoves
