Crated Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs FAQ's
What are Crated kiln-dried hardwood logs?
Crated kiln dried hardwood logs are premium-quality firewood that has been dried in a kiln to reduce moisture content (typically lower than 20%). This process ensures the logs burn more efficiently, produce less smoke, and generate more heat, making them ideal for wood burners and wood-burning stoves. These kiln dried logs are then hand-stacked in wooden crates which maximises the space - less gaps = more wood for you to burn.
How big are the crates?
Our crates of kiln dried hardwood logs come in two sizes:
- 1 cubic meter which equates to 1.6 cubic meters of loose logs
- 1.2 cubic meters which equates to 2 cubic meters of loose logs
Why should I choose kiln dried hardwood logs over softwood or unseasoned firewood?
Kiln dried logs have a much lower moisture content (typically below 20%) compared to unseasoned or green firewood. This means they ignite easily, burn hotter, and produce less creosote buildup in your wood-burning stove or chimney. They’re also ideal for reducing smoke and emissions, making them an eco-friendly choice.
