“Ready to burn” refers primarily to the moisture content of the wood rather than simply the way it has been dried.
Wood that contains too much moisture is less efficient to burn because energy is used to evaporate the water contained in the timber. Properly dry firewood burns more efficiently and produces less smoke than wet wood.
In England, the Ready to Burn scheme applies to firewood sold in units of 2m³ or less. Certified firewood must have a moisture content of 20% or less.

Dry firewood is important for getting good performance from a wood-burning appliance.
When wet or insufficiently seasoned wood is burned, some of the energy produced by the fire is used to evaporate the moisture in the logs. This can reduce useful heat output and increase smoke and emissions.

The government’s Burn Better guidance recommends using dry wood with a moisture content of 20% or less.
Not necessarily.
Earnshaws also supplies partially seasoned, air-dried hardwood and softwood logs. These are naturally dried rather than kiln-dried and may require further seasoning before they are dry enough to burn efficiently.
We recommend storing partially seasoned logs in a suitable, well-ventilated log store and allowing them to dry further. Depending on the timber and its starting moisture content, this may take around 12 to 18 months.
If you’re unsure whether your logs are ready to burn, use a suitable wood moisture meter to check the moisture content. Aim for a moisture content of 20% or below.
