DESCRIPTION

Kiln-Dried Oak Logs

Our kiln-dried Oak logs deliver long-lasting, steady heat with a moisture content below 20%. Oak is a dense hardwood that burns slower than Birch or Alder, producing excellent heat retention and strong embers, making it ideal for longer burns in log burners, multi-fuel stoves, open fires and pizza ovens. The Ready to Burn moisture level ensures efficient, clean 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 strong value for regular and high-use burners. Oak is favoured for its long burn time and consistent heat output, and the wood-burning chart provides a clear comparison with Birch and Alder. Our full crate range includes alternative species depending on your preferred burn characteristics.

Every crate contains 100% Oak hardwood, with no mixing. Kiln drying ensures a hotter, 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.

Bulk Hardwood For Long & Steady Heat

BUILT FOR SLOW BURNING

Oak is one of the densest hardwoods, meaning every log burns for a long time. A crate gives you enough fuel for steady, reliable heat across the season.

STRONG RADIANT WARMTH

Once established, oak delivers a deep, lasting heat that fills a room. It’s the kind of fire you can rely on through the colder months without constant tending.

FEWER TRIPS TO RESTOCK

A single crate holds a large supply of fuel, cutting down on repeat orders. With oak’s slow burn, it stretches even further, making the crate one of the most efficient ways to buy.

NEAT STACK READY TO BURN

Logs are tightly packed in a wooden crate, easy to move with pallet delivery and simple to store. No loose nets or bags — just a full, clean supply of hardwood in one delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is a crate of oak logs?

A full crate of oak logs is roughly the same as 2.5 builders bags of loose logs. The logs are neatly stacked inside a wooden crate for easier storage.

How long will an oak crate last?

It depends how often you burn, but for regular evening use a full crate can last for several months. Oak burns slower than other woods, so the supply stretches further.

Is oak the best firewood for long burns?

Yes — oak is one of the longest-burning hardwoods. It gives steady heat for hours, making it better for overnight or long-use fires compared to birch or softwood.

How does an oak crate compare to a birch crate?

Oak burns slower and hotter, while birch lights more easily but burns faster. If you want quick flames and atmosphere, birch is great; if you want steady, lasting heat, oak is better.

How is a firewood crate delivered?

Crates are delivered on a pallet with a tail-lift truck. They’re placed kerbside or on a driveway, making them easier to move and stack than multiple loose bags.

How should I store a crate of logs?

Keep the crate in a dry, ventilated spot. If it’s stored outside, cover the top to keep rain off but leave the sides open so the logs can breathe.
