Better fires start with bone dry wood
Title
Oak is the densest log we sell. A touch slower to catch than birch, then a steady, high heat for hours from one or two logs an hour. Light it at seven and you’re still warm at eleven, without getting up. 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 oak, under 18% moisture
Holds a steady, high heat for hours from one or two logs an hour
Burns clean and slow, with less smoke and no tar on the glass
Dense, heavy logs, so a box goes further than lighter woods
