What types of kiln-dried logs are available for purchase?

Here at Thomson Wood Fuel Ltd, we supply three types of kiln dried logs to our UK customer base. These hardwood kiln dried logs are all Ready to Burn certified for immediate use in the UK, with a moisture content of less than twenty percent, along with a choice of packaging options.

Oak Kiln Dried Logs

Oak is the most popular firewood used for heating in the UK, due to its outstanding heat output and long burn time.

Oak has a very high BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating of twenty four to thirty million BTUs per cord, making it one of the best hardwoods when it comes to heating your home. As for the burn time, oak provides a steady and slow burn, while offering consistent heat output. This is ideal for colder nights, helping you maintain a warm and comfortable home for you and your family.

Birch Kiln Dried Logs

Birch is not as dense as oak, meaning it burns faster. It also doesn’t produce the same high heat consistently as you get with oak. With a BTU rating of 26.8, birch does offer it’s own benefits. It is often chosen by homeowners, because it is so easy to light, making it a good choice in homes when you want to get your home heating quickly and effectively. Don’t get us wrong, our birch kiln dried logs do offer good heat output and a decent burn duration.

Ash Kiln Dried Logs

Ash has a lower BTU than oak at 23.6, but it tends to burn hotter, though it doesn’t last as long. Ash is ideal for home heating, offering more heat per log. Due to its high heat, it is able to keep your home warm even on the coldest nights. Ash kiln dried logs have a low moisture content, offering an efficient burn, producing less smoke and minimal residue.

Ready to Burn Certified – The Woodsure Scheme

All the kiln dried logs we offer for purchase are Ready to Burn certified under the Woodsture Ready To Burn Scheme, the appointed body for Defra, that administers firewood sales in the UK.

The scheme was developed to monitor and phase out unseasoned and wet firewood for indoor and outdoor burning, due to wet wood causing poor air quality, unsustainable emissions, and increasing the risk of fire hazards.

It is believed that wet wood is the leading cause of air pollution in the United Kingdom. As homeowners start seeing the benefits of kiln dried logs, they improve their energy efficiency. This is done by ensuring any kiln dried logs you purchase are certified by the Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme.

What This Means for Us

In order to certify as Ready to Burn, the wood fuels we provide for purchase are guaranteed to have a moisture level of less than twenty percent, demonstrating this through audits and other moisture level checks.

We have to keep a record of all our point of sale information, while providing our customers with valuable information concerning the safety and use of our kiln dried logs and briquettes, including how to store them effectively to reduce the risk of them absorbing moisture.
