Product Information

The time taken to kiln dry logs can vary depending on the drying system used, but typically it will take about 7-10 days in a chamber which runs at around 60 – 70 °C. At Certainly Wood we have a very unique drying system which runs at much higher temperatures with fans to circulate the hot air. Our kilns can dry wood in approx. 50-hour cycles and each time, we put 18 tonnes into a kiln and take 12 tonnes out – therefore removing 6 tonnes (6,000 litres) of water! Are k iln dried logs worth it? However, there is a lot of imported kiln dried logs on the market and much of it is of good quality and Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ approved. However, whilst the likes of silver birch or alder provide a very nice even and consistent sample of logs and burn very nicely, they will burn 20-25% faster than mixed hardwood British logs such as oak ash and beech because the wood is less dense and more like softwood. That is a massive difference in terms of the amount of wood you will burn, so be careful when you select what you buy. It might seem cheaper on the face of it, but you will end up buying more logs for the same amount of heat output, therefore costing you more. Does kiln dried wood burn faster?

Are kiln dried logs worth it? This is the largest amount of kiln dried logs for home delivery and is much more volume than the large bulk bag which contains the equivalent of 58 small bags. This is a large pallet so needs to have excellent delivery access – smooth level surface for unloading. If not, we would recommend the bulk bags or the 50 bag pallet. The advantage of the small bags is ease of carrying into storage which must be dry, and also convenient for carrying into the house. For this size of pallet we would recommend 8 boxes of kindling and 2 boxes of 50 Flamers natural firelighters. If the pot hole or required tarmac is going to be deeper than 30mm, it is advised you lay it in 2 stages, ensure the first layer is compact tightly before laying a second layer on top.

Storage

This is a handy sized pallet and much more compact for delivery than the larger 80 bag pallet of kiln dried logs. The advantage of the small bags is ease of carrying into storage which must be dry, and also convenient for carrying into the house. For this size of bag we would recommend 6 boxes of kindling and 2 boxes of 50 Flamers natural firelighters.

Naturally, we will say British sourced every time as we DO NOT import any logs and we believe British should be supported for the obvious reasons of:This cookie is used by Issuu analytic system to gather information regarding visitor activity on Issuu products. One bag will usually cover 0.4m2 at 30mm depth. Use a heavy flat object to help compact the cold lay macadam. Ensuring British woodlands are properly managed by taking regular thinnings for firewood and therefore improving overall health and wellbeing of the flora and fauna of that woodland. Kiln dried logs provide you with the ultimate burn quality with maximum heat output. The kiln drying process in our wood fired kilns remove most of the water for you, down to below an average of 20% moisture content. Burning kiln dried logs will ensure your stove glass is kept clean and will prevent a build-up of soot or tar in your chimney or flue and because you get so much heat output, you will actually need less kiln dried logs, than if you were to buy seasoned logs, thus providing you with great value for money. Kiln dried logs also provide you with a consistent product that you can rely on every time, unlike ‘seasoned logs’ which can be inconsistent in terms of their moisture content due to the natural and varied drying process. The standard length of 25cm kiln dried logs is recommended by stove manufacturers to fit 99% of wood burning or multi-fuel stoves. What are kiln dried logs? Yes, very much so, but they will almost always be more expensive because they are ready to burn and the majority of the water is already removed for you. Being so dry, hopefully below 20% moisture content it will mean you will get far more heat output and therefore if burning in an efficient stove it will mean you will use far less wood. So, it's actually far better value for money. The other benefit is that you should never have to overpay your chimney sweep to spend time removing tar from your chimney or flue! How do your store kiln dried logs?

This is perfect 'top-up' sized pallet and much more compact for delivery. It contains 30 bags (0.84m3 loose filled volume), slightly more than the 0.8m³ bulk bag equivalent which is 24 small bags. The advantage of the small bags is ease of carrying into storage which must be dry, and also convenient for carrying into the house. For this size of bag we would recommend 3 boxes of kindling and 1 box of 50 Flamers natural firelighters. This is firewood that has been force dried in kilns rather than dried naturally or more commonly known as ‘seasoning’ over a period of time. The aim is to get the logs to below 20% moisture content which is what they need to be for the optimum burn. Please avoid using this item outside when the temperature is below 50c or if there has been recent heavy rain. Once the cold lay macadam is laid, it is advised that a little dust or dry sand is brushed over the top to help prevent fresh material lifting whilst it sets. In a wood burning stove, kiln dried logs burn much more slowly and cleanly and provide a huge amount of heat – nothing can be more efficient. In a modern Ecodesign stove the importance of logs below 20% becomes even more evident. A common question and the answer is yes, but only if burnt on an open fire which has no air control, but it is still recommended to burn kiln dried logs on open fires to avoid tarring up the chimney. Those that think mixing wet logs with kiln dried is good to slow the burn then this is completely false economy as not only will you reduce the heat output, therefore needing more logs, but also you will tar the chimney.
