Why Choose Kiln Dried Logs for your Business or Home
Kiln dried logs go through a controlled drying process, that reduces the moisture content to less than twenty percent. This ensures your fire lights quicker and easier, while burning hotter for longer. These logs tend to be more efficient and you will find you use less logs to reach your desired temperature.
If you start a fire using ten kiln dried logs with a low moisture content of less than twenty percent, it will produce the same heat you would get when burning thirty three unseasoned logs with a moisture content of around sixty percent. Why? Well it all comes down to the moisture content. With a high moisture content, the fire uses it’s energy to dry the wood, where with a low moisture content, the fire releases heat, as the wood is already dry.
For businesses, a major benefit to using kiln dried logs is that they light easily, and they burn longer. This means you spend less time stoking and maintaining your fire, giving you more time to focus on your customers.
The lightweight of the kiln dried logs also means you can carry more logs in your log basket, making fewer trips to your storage area and the fireplace or wood burning stove. These logs are dry and clean, so you can store them indoors, away from moisture and the elements, including pests. You have better control over your fire by using less logs.
Let’s not forget the clean burn. When you use kiln dried logs, you produce less smoke, ash, and creosote. They also release less particulates into the air, improving air quality. This is important in a business environment, where your customers may have allergies or asthma that is triggered by the smoke and ash produced by your fire.
Producing less creosote, also makes these logs much safer for use in your business. Creosote build-up in your chimney is one of the leading causes of chimney fires in the UK.
For businesses that use a fire to heat the area, such as pubs or restaurants, kiln dried logs are an excellent choice. Yes, they are slightly more expensive than seasoned logs, but you use less logs per fire, making them a cost-effective option.
Conclusion
By drying the logs in a kiln, it speeds up the drying process by controlling the temperature, humidity, and air flow. It reduces the moisture to less than twenty percent, which is recommended by most wood stove manufacturers for an optimum burn.
