Looking for ready to burn firewood in Wakefield? Earnshaws supplies low-moisture kiln-dried hardwood logs from our Midgley centre, conveniently positioned between Wakefield, Huddersfield and Barnsley and close to the M1.
Our kiln-dried hardwood logs can have a moisture content as low as 16%, making them a convenient ready-to-burn option for suitable wood-burning stoves, log burners and open fires.
We deliver dry, ready-to-burn firewood across Wakefield and surrounding towns and villages, as well as towards Barnsley and Penistone.
The key factor is moisture content.
Firewood with too much moisture is harder to light and burns less efficiently because some of the heat produced is used to evaporate water from the wood. Dry firewood generally provides better combustion and produces less smoke.
In England, the Ready to Burn scheme covers firewood sold in units of 2m³ or less. Certified wood must have a moisture content of 20% or less.
Earnshaws’ kiln-dried hardwood logs can reach 16% moisture content, providing a low-moisture option for customers looking for ready-to-burn firewood.
Our kiln-dried hardwood logs are dried in a controlled process before sale, removing moisture from the timber and producing a low-moisture firewood product.
This makes them particularly convenient for customers who don’t want to wait for naturally seasoned logs to dry.
Benefits include:
Choosing properly dry firewood can make a noticeable difference to how a fire burns.
Wet wood contains water that must be evaporated during combustion. This consumes energy and can result in more smoke and poorer combustion.
Dry firewood can provide:
For the cleanest and most effective combustion, use appropriately dry firewood and follow your stove manufacturer’s instructions.
Earnshaws also supplies partially seasoned air-dried hardwood and softwood logs.
Unlike kiln-dried logs, these logs have been naturally seasoned and may require additional drying before they are ready to burn.
We recommend storing them in a purpose-designed log store with good airflow. Depending on the timber and its moisture content, further seasoning can take around 12 to 18 months.
If you’re unsure whether your logs are ready to burn, check them with a wood moisture meter. A reading of 20% or below is the target for properly dry firewood.
