Kiln-dried hardwood logs are certainly the best fuel to use in your Wood Burning appliance or Open Fire. Our premium quality Kiln-dried Hardwood Logs have
been dried in a purpose built wood drying kiln to reduce their moisture content to between 15% - 20% maximum. These high quality Kiln-dried Firewood logs

have been split and cut to a length of 25cm making them the ideal size for burning in your
Wood Burning Stove, Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Chiminea and Open Fire.

The logs we sell are all hardwood – either Ash or Birch. Ash is a slightly denser fuel so will burn slightly longer, while Birch logs burn with a silvery flame.
