FAQs

What makes these logs 'kiln-dried'?

Kiln-dried means the logs have been seasoned in a controlled oven (kiln) to reduce their moisture content to below 20%. This process ensures they are dry, efficient, and burn cleanly.

Are these logs suitable for all wood-burning stoves?

Yes, these logs are suitable for most multi-fuel and wood-burning stoves, as well as other appliances like chimineas, fire pits, and pizza ovens. Always refer to your appliance manufacturer's guidelines.

How long will a bag of logs last?

The burn time varies depending on the appliance, how the logs are arranged, and the airflow settings. However, kiln-dried hardwood logs provide a high heat output and long burn time compared to unseasoned wood.

Where are the logs sourced from?

The logs are sourced from mixed hardwood grown in the UK and are certified by FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) and Grown in Britain, ensuring sustainable forestry practices.

How should I store the logs?

Store the bags in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct heat or moisture. Keeping them off the ground can also help prevent dampness.

What does Woodsure accreditation mean?

Woodsure is a quality assurance scheme for firewood. Accreditation means the logs have met strict standards for dryness and quality, ensuring you are purchasing a reliable and efficient fuel.

Can I use these logs for cooking in a pizza oven?

Yes, the high heat output and clean burn of these kiln-dried hardwood logs make them excellent for use in pizza ovens, helping to achieve high temperatures quickly and efficiently.

Troubleshooting

Logs are difficult to light

Ensure you are using appropriate kindling and firelighters. Check that the logs are not damp; if stored incorrectly, they may have absorbed moisture. Ensure adequate airflow to the appliance.

Fire is burning too quickly

Partially close the air vents on your appliance to reduce the oxygen supply. Add larger logs to sustain the burn. Ensure you are not overloading the appliance.

Excessive smoke from the chimney

Check that the chimney flue is clear and not blocked. Ensure the logs are fully dry (kiln-dried logs should produce minimal smoke). Verify that the appliance air vents are correctly set for the stage of the burn.

Low heat output

Ensure the logs are dry and properly seasoned. Check for any obstructions in the air vents. Add more logs and ensure good airflow. Clean out ash buildup from the grate or firebox.

Setup:

No specific setup is required for the logs themselves. Ensure your appliance is correctly installed and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions. When ready to use, place 2-3 logs in your appliance, leaving space for air circulation. Use appropriate fire starters (e.g., firelighters, kindling) to ignite the logs.

Care & Storage:

  • Storage: Store the bags in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Avoid storing directly on damp ground. Keeping them in their original packaging helps maintain dryness.
  • Handling: Handle bags with care to avoid tearing.
  • Burning: Burn responsibly and ensure compliance with local air quality regulations.
