Kiln dried logs are typically the preferred choice for those looking to heat their home with a wood fuel. It can be very difficult to find seasoned logs that are low in moisture, due in no small part to our British climate. Kiln dried logs have a very low moisture content which makes them perfect for burning. Seasoned logs usually have a moisture content of between 25-50% which can increase further when suppliers run out of stock of "dried'' seasoned logs. By comparison kiln dried logs have a moisture content of below 15%, sometimes even as low as 7-15% making them highly suitable for burning. The calorific value of kiln dried logs is between 4500-5000 kWh/tonne, which is particularly impressive when compared to standard seasoned logs, which have a calorific value of only 2300-3500 kWh/tonne. A higher calorific value produces a greater heat output. You can think of it like this - just one kiln dried log can give the same heat output as two standard seasoned lo...

There’s nothing like coming home to a warm, crackling wood fire on a cold winter’s day. You may not be aware, but not all wood burns the same way.

Wood that is dried in a kiln makes for quality firewood, with a moisture content of less than 20%. How are kiln dried logs made? The process of kiln drying involves warm air being circulated all around the wood inside of a kiln chamber for maximum drying. This process helps to evaporate the moisture con...
