Why Kiln-Dried Firewood Is the Premium Choice

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.

The Benefits of Low-Moisture Hardwood Logs

Our kiln-dried hardwood logs offer several advantages:

  • Low moisture content
  • Ready-to-burn convenience
  • Easy lighting
  • Consistent burning
  • Good heat output
  • Dense hardwood timber
  • Less smoke than wet wood
  • Convenient storage and handling

Hardwood is generally denser than softwood and can provide more energy per volume at the same moisture content, while tending to burn more steadily.

Ready-to-Burn Kiln-Dried Firewood

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.

Kiln-Dried Hardwood vs Air-Dried Logs

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.

How to Store Kiln-Dried Logs

Once your logs arrive, good storage will help maintain their low moisture content.

Keep kiln-dried firewood:

  • Off the ground
  • Protected from direct rain
  • Under suitable cover
  • In a well-ventilated area
  • Away from direct heat and ignition sources

Dry firewood can absorb moisture if it is left exposed, so appropriate storage is important even when you have purchased kiln-dried logs.
