How big is a bag of oak logs?
Oak is one of the heaviest hardwoods, which means each log burns slowly and evenly. A small firebox load will keep glowing for hours, providing a steady base of heat without constant tending.
The density of oak produces a deep, steady warmth that holds for hours. It’s the kind of radiant heat that’s well suited to cold nights where you need more than just a quick flame.
Because oak burns for so long, there’s less need to keep opening the stove or adding more fuel. A couple of well-placed logs will keep the fire ticking over while you get on with your evening.
Packed in a woven sack, the maxi bag is easy to move, stack, and store. It’s a practical way to stock up on dense hardwood without committing to a full crate delivery.
How big is a bag of oak logs?
An oak maxi bag is about the same as a 60-litre sack of logs. It’s smaller than a builders bag, but still holds enough wood for several good fires.
How long does a bag of oak logs last?
Because oak burns slowly, a 60L bag can last a week or more if you’re just using the fire in the evenings. If you burn every day, expect a few days from one bag.
Can I burn oak logs in a stove or fireplace?
Yes — kiln-dried oak logs are safe for all stoves, open fires, fire pits and chimineas. They’re especially good in stoves where steady heat is needed.
Is oak better than birch logs?
Yes for long burns, no for quick flames. Oak takes longer to light but lasts much longer. Birch lights quickly and gives a big flame, but burns through faster.

A log bag (60L) is small enough to move and store easily. A builders or dumpy bag is close to a cubic metre and much heavier to handle.
Is oak the best firewood?
