How big is a bag of birch logs?
Birch bark is naturally oily and catches flame almost instantly. Even with a single firelighter, the logs take quickly, making it one of the simplest hardwoods to get started.
Birch produces a tall, dancing flame that looks as good as it feels. The vivid burn creates a classic firelight atmosphere, ideal for cosy evenings or social fires outdoors.
Kiln-dried birch burns hot and clean, giving off less smoke and leaving behind only a light ash. That means clearer stove glass and less chimney maintenance over time.
