What are Kiln Dried Logs?

Kiln dried logs are logs that have been dried in a kiln to remove most of the moisture. The process of kiln drying involves placing the logs in a kiln and heating them to a temperature of around 70 degrees Celsius for several days. This process removes most of the moisture from the logs, leaving them with a moisture content of less than 20%.

Why Choose Kiln Dried Logs?

There are several reasons why kiln dried logs are the best choice for your fireplace. Firstly, because the moisture content of kiln dried logs is so low, they burn much more efficiently than green or seasoned logs. This means that you will get more heat from your logs, and your fire will last longer.

Secondly, because kiln dried logs have such a low moisture content, they produce less smoke and fewer pollutants when they burn. This is not only better for the environment, but it also means that your chimney will stay cleaner for longer.

Finally, because kiln dried logs are so dry, they are much easier to light than green or seasoned logs. This means that you will spend less time trying to get your fire started and more time enjoying the warmth and comfort of your fireplace.

How to Store Kiln Dried Logs

If you want to get the most out of your kiln dried logs, it is important to store them properly. Kiln dried logs should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and any sources of moisture. Ideally, they should be stored in a log store or a purpose-built log shed.

It is also important to make sure that your kiln dried logs are not exposed to damp or wet conditions. If your logs do get wet, they will absorb moisture and will no longer burn as efficiently. This is why it is so important to store your logs in a dry, well-ventilated area.

In Conclusion

At Heartwood, we believe that kiln dried logs are the best choice for your fireplace. They burn more efficiently, produce less smoke and pollutants, and are easier to light than green or seasoned logs. If you want to get the most out of your fireplace, we highly recommend that you give our kiln dried logs a try.
