Kiln Dried Hardwood Fire Logs

Our kiln dried hardwood fire logs are dried to below 20% moisture which lets them light quickly and burn hot without the smoke and tar that damp wood leaves behind. We stock, oak, ash and birch hardwoods chosen for a long, steady burn, so a stove or open fire holds its heat for longer between refills. They come in everything from handy nets to bulk crates, whether you need a box for the weekend or a winter's worth in one delivery.

Kiln Dried Logs Burn Better

Freshly cut wood contains a lot of moisture and burning it wastes most of the fire's energy boiling that moisture off. That leads to a sluggish fire, a smoky room and a flue that furs up with tar. Drying the logs to sub-20% moisture changes all of that, because the heat goes into warming the room instead of drying the wood, so the fire lights easily and burns clean.

Oak, ash and birch are denser than softwood, which means more energy packed into every log and a longer burn from each log.

Oak, Ash and Birch Firewood Logs

Each species has its own strengths.

  • Oak – dense and burns longer making it ideal for winter heating.

  • Ash – lights readily, clean flame, rarely spits; great for open fires.

  • Birch – easy to light with a bright flame; warms a room fast and suits pizza ovens.

All three are available across the full range of pack sizes, from single nets and 20kg boxes to bulk crates for regular use.

FAQ

What are kiln-dried hardwood logs?

Kiln-dried hardwood logs are dense logs such as oak, ash and birch that have been dried in a kiln to below 20% moisture. The low moisture is what lets them burn hotter and cleaner than wood that has only been left to season outdoors.

Why choose kiln-dried logs over seasoned wood?

Kiln-dried logs are drier and more consistent than air-seasoned wood, which is often still too wet to burn well. Because there is less moisture to boil off, they light more easily, give out more heat and produce less smoke and tar in the chimney.

Which hardwood logs burn the longest?

Oak burns the longest of the three, as it's the densest and slowest to burn. It's the best choice for a long, steady heat, while birch gives quicker heat and ash sits comfortably between the two.

Are kiln-dried hardwood logs good for pizza ovens?

Yes, kiln-dried hardwood is ideal for pizza ovens because it burns cleanly and reaches high cooking temperatures. Birch and ash are popular choices, lighting quickly and giving a bright, steady flame.

How should I store kiln-dried logs?

Kiln-dried logs should be kept somewhere dry and airy, off the ground and under cover. Stored properly they hold their low moisture content, so they stay ready to burn whenever you need them.
