Better fires start with bone dry wood
Title
Birch bark catches almost on contact and throws a bright, lively flame, which is why it’s our best seller and the easiest log to start with if the stove is new to you. Light with birch, feed with oak if you want the fire to run late. Every log is kiln dried to under 18% moisture and checked with a meter before it leaves us. That’s why it lights first go, burns hot and clean, and doesn’t tar up your glass or flue.
Most stove problems come from burning wood that’s still wet inside.
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 birch, under 18% moisture
Lights in seconds with a bright, lively flame
Burns clean with little smoke and no tar on the glass
Forgiving and easy, the right log if you’re new to a wood burner
