Open fires have become a luxury in homes throughout the world, including here in the United Kingdom. Lavish fire pits in the back garden have become common place. They are aesthetically pleasing, and can be used for heating and cooking. When it comes to outdoor open fires, there is one main consideration, what wood will you choose?
This is where our kiln dried logs come into play. With their low moisture content and excellent burning efficiency, our logs are the perfect wood to choose for your open fires.
What is Kiln Dried Wood?
Kiln dried wood is wood that has gone through a specific drying process. Drying takes place in a kiln, which controls the humidity, temperature, and air flow. This process reduces the moisture content in the wood evenly to below twenty percent, making it ready for immediate use. In fact, our kiln dried logs are all Ready to Burn certified for immediate use in the UK.
The moisture of your wood plays a vital role in the safety and efficiency of your burning. When the wood is wet, you produce excessive smoke, and it is difficult to light. Kiln dried logs, on the other hand, have a reduced moisture content, this means it is safer, more efficient, and produces less smoke. This means you can use an open fire, even in smokeless zones across the United Kingdom.
