Wood Types

​Kiln Dried Hardwood Ash Logs

Ash logs are reckoned by many to be the best wood for burning. This is because it produces a long lasting high heat output, along with an excellent flame pattern.

​Kiln Dried Hardwood Birch Logs

Birch is an excellent firewood and like Ash, can be burnt unseasoned. Our kiln dried Birch logs result in a very clean burn and an excellent heat output. Birch logs can burn fast, so we recommend to mix with slower burning wood. 
​Kiln Dried Hardwood Oak Logs

Oak logs must be seasoned for a minimum of two years. Our kiln dried Oak logs will guarantee low moisture content. They burn fairly slowly providing a good steady flame and producing an excellent long lasting heat.

​Hardwood / Softwood?

​When buying logs, it is common for the seller to let you know whether they are from hardwood or softwood tree species. The general difference is that hardwoods (deciduous, broadleaved tree species) tend to be denser than softwoods (evergreen, coniferous species). 
Denser wood tends to burn for a longer period of time meaning fewer ‘top ups’ are required to keep a log stove burning for a given length of time. If you buy wood by volume, you will receive more kilowatt hours (kWh) of heat from a cubic metre (m3) of hardwood than softwood (at the same moisture content).

​Producing Maximum Heat

When burning logs it is important to understand there are two crucial factors that have an effect on the heat they will produce. These factors are moisture content and density. The moisture content of a piece of wood is a measure of the relative weight of water and weight of solid wood. 

The moisture content of wood has by far the greatest effect on calorific value (heat output). Any water in the timber has to boil away before the wood will burn, and this will reduce the net energy released as useful heat (as opposed to steam up the chimney). If you can get them to light at all, logs that aren’t dry will result in a fire that smoulders and creates lots of tars and smoke. These tars can be corrosive, potentially damaging the lining of the flue and increasing the danger of a chimney fire.  

As the graph shows, the less water content in a log, the greater the heat that log will produce.
​Our Kiln dry logs contain less than 18% moisture content!
