How Logs Are Produced
The wood you burn in your pizza oven or restaurant log burner are processed to be used as firewood. Freshly cut wood is allow to dry, reducing the moisture content. This can be done naturally (seasoned), or artificially (kiln dried).

Seasoned Logs
Seasoned logs are those that are allowed to dry naturally once cut. This relies on sunlight and air to reduce the moisture content. This can take anywhere up to two years to achieve. Seasoned wood is often drier on the edges and retains moisture in the centre.
This type of drying process relies on sunlight to extract any moisture for the logs. The time this takes is determined by the wood type and environment.
Kiln Dried Logs
Kiln dried logs are artificially dried in a purpose build kiln. The kiln is a large oven, which is used to dry and heat the wood to set a temperature. The logs dry within days, with a very low moisture content of less than twenty percent. This makes these logs ideal for burning in pizza ovens and log burners, along with open fire places, BBQs, and smokers.
