Benefits of Oak Compared to Other Hardwoods
Oak offers numerous fantastic benefits for burning, when compared to other firewood’s:
Longer Burn
Oak has exceptionally dense wood fibres with a chunky shape, making it burn at a much slower rate than other hardwoods. One of our oak kiln dried logs can burn for more than two hours, which means you are refuelling you fire less often, saving yourself valuable money and time. We recommend starting your fire using our natural kindling, give the lame some time to get going, and your oak fire will take hours before burning out, offering you with a longer burn, while ensuring your home is toasty and warm.
Excellent Heat Output
Oak has a very high British Thermal Unit (BTU) per cord, which means it generates a lot of heat when burning, creating continuous warmth in your home. It is an efficient fuel, offering you a staggering amount of energy for what you pay. It is an affordable heating option, as it will heat your home generously without having to keep adding fuel to the fire.
