Better fires start with properly dried wood.
Title
Outdoor fires should light easily, burn cleanly and create steady heat without excessive smoke or constant attention. Poorly seasoned logs often do the opposite, smouldering heavily and wasting much of the fire’s energy evaporating excess moisture before proper combustion can begin.
Our kiln-dried hornbeam logs are dried below 20% moisture for a cleaner, more reliable burn that lights easily, burns steadily and produces powerful heat from the very first fire.
Most outdoor fire issues come from using logs with excess moisture.
Typical seasoned firewood
Slower, more frustrating fires that can take longer to properly get going
Excess moisture creates heavier smoke and more smouldering around the firepit
More of the fire’s energy is wasted drying the logs instead of producing usable heat
Kiln-Dried Hornbeam Below 20% Moisture
Lights reliably with a strong, steady flame
Burns cleaner with less unnecessary smoke and smouldering
Produces powerful, long-lasting heat because less energy is wasted on excess moisture
