Kiln Dried Logs

What Are Kiln Dried Logs?

Kiln dried logs are firewood that’s gone through a special drying process in a controlled environment called a kiln.

Before they get kiln-treated

Logs that are straight from the forest, have a high moisture content. This can make them harder to light, burn unevenly, and release more smoke, which isn’t ideal for your home, workplace or the environment.

The Kiln Drying Process

Kilns use heat and airflow to remove the excess moisture from the wood, typically bringing it down to a moisture content of around 20% or less. This process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

The Benefits Of Kiln Dried Logs

Easier to light

Dry wood catches fire quicker and burns more consistently, making it much easier to get your fire going.

Efficient Burning

Kiln dried logs burn hotter which in turn gives you more warmth. Also, these logs produce less smoke and soot, which means less mess for you and a cleaner chimney. It’s also better for air quality.

Longer Storage Life

Properly dried logs can be stored for longer periods without rotting or deteriorating, so you can stock up for the winter season during the rest of the year.

Are Kiln Dried Logs Worth It?

It depends on your priorities and budget. They’re generally more expensive than regular firewood, but they offer several advantages in terms of convenience, efficiency, and cleanliness. If you want a hassle-free fireplace experience and value a good hot fire, kiln-dried logs are the best choice.

This firewood is also very versatile and are ideal for various heating applications, including wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor fire pits.
