What Are Kiln Dried Wood Logs?
Before we can discuss what makes kiln dried wood logs different from other firewood, you need to understand what kiln dried wood logs are. Kiln drying is a process that requires putting the logs into a controlled environment, where the temperature and humidity are regulated. It reduces the moisture content in the wood to below twenty percent, ensuring the logs are Ready to Burn certified in the UK, ensuring efficiency, excellent heat output, and longer and cleaner burning.
It’s All About the Moisture Content
It’s the moisture content that makes kiln dried wood logs different from other types of firewood. The low moisture content is what contributes to an efficient burn. Green or seasoned logs tend to have a high moisture content, often exceeding thirty percent, while kiln dried logs, have a lower moisture content of below twenty percent.
Cleaner Burn
Kiln dried wood logs help you reduce your impact on the environment, offering a cleaner burn with low emissions. Not to mention they produce considerably less smoke when compared to other types of firewood, that makes this type of wood so popular here in the UK, especially in smokeless areas.
Easy to Light
Have you ever tried to heat your home with wet wood? Chances are it was a messy and frustrating experience. Not to mention, once you got it lit, the fire didn’t produce much heat. Eliminate these woes by using kiln dried wood logs. These offer easy and fast ignition, offering you faster heat as you need it.
Consistent Size
You will notice when you first use kiln dried wood logs that they are consistent in shape and size. This makes them practical, when compared to other firewood. They are easier to stack in your fireplace or wood burning stove, they are easier to stack for storage, and they look visually appealing when lying in your wood basket next to your fire.
Less Ash and Residue
Kiln dried logs reduce the amount of clean-up you have after every fire. This is very appealing to home-owners looking for a  low maintenance heating solution in their homes. These logs produce very little ash and creosote, which is majority beneficial. Creosote is what builds up in your chimney or flue and is the leading cause of chimney fires in the UK.
No Pests or Mould
One of the major benefits of kiln dried wood logs when compared to other types of firewood is that they do not house any pests or mould. The kiln drying process takes care of this, meaning you can store your logs indoors with confidence.
