  Barbecuing can be a lot of fun, but choosing the right kind of fuel is crucial to its success. Charcoal is the most commonly used fuel for cooking over open fires in the United Kingdom. As charcoal is simply carbon in its purest form, it is a much more natural fuel than briquettes, and contains no chemical additives. Though it burns for a shorter time than briquettes, it produces more heat, and a nicer aroma and flavour, improving the quality of your grilled food significantly.  Charcoal grilling is a true test for any experienced cook. It can be an exciting challenge with some seriously great tasting rewards, from lighting and changing fuel, to managing airflow and controlling flare-ups. But, before you light your charcoal and start grilling, you must first answer one crucial question: What grade of charcoal should you be using?   In a quandary about choosing the right type of charcoal?   As there are many products for you to choose from, deciding which form of fu...

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...
