DESCRIPTION

Kiln-Dried Birch Logs

Our kiln-dried Birch logs provide fast, clean heat with a moisture content below 20%. Birch lights easily, produces a bright lively flame and delivers strong heat output, making it ideal for log burners, multi-fuel stoves, fire pits and pizza ovens. The Ready to Burn moisture level ensures consistent, efficient performance in all modern appliances.

Each crate is tightly hand-stacked to reduce air gaps and maximise usable firewood. A full crate is roughly equivalent to 1.8m³ of loose-filled logs, offering excellent value for regular use. Birch is one of the most popular hardwoods due to its quick ignition and attractive flame, and the wood-burning chart shows how it compares with Alder and Oak. Our full crate range also includes alternative species for different burn profiles.

Every crate contains 100% Birch hardwood, with no mixing. Kiln drying results in a cleaner burn, improved stove efficiency and reduced soot build-up compared to higher-moisture logs. Before dispatch, each crate is covered with a shower-resistant top sheet and fully shrink-wrapped for protection during transit. Further details can be found in the delivery information.

QUICK TO IGNITE

Birch bark lights easily, catching fast with a strong flame. A full crate means you’ve always got an easy-starting log on hand.

LIVELY FLAME & BURN

Birch produces tall, bright flames that give off both heat and a traditional firelight glow. It’s perfect for creating warmth and ambience in equal measure.

RELIABLE WINTER STOCK

With a full crate stacked neatly, you’ve got a ready supply to see you through the colder months. Birch burns faster than oak, but the crate volume makes sure you never run short.

NEAT STACKED DELIVERY

Logs arrive kiln-dried and tightly stacked in a wooden crate. Pallet delivery keeps them protected and makes storage simple once unloaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is a crate of birch logs?

A full crate of birch is about the same as 2.5 builders bags of loose logs. The logs are stacked neatly in a wooden crate, which makes them easier to store.

How long will a birch crate last?

It depends how much you burn. For occasional evening fires a crate can last months. If you burn every day, it should still keep you stocked for several weeks.

Is birch good firewood for stoves?

Yes. Birch lights easily and gives a bright, lively flame. It’s perfect for stoves where you want quick heat and a strong flame pattern.

Is birch better than oak for burning?

Birch is better if you want easy lighting and quick heat. Oak is better if you want logs that last for hours. Many people burn birch to get the fire going, then switch to oak.
