Choosing Firewood

Not all firewood burns the same. Different woods offer different burn times, heat levels, and ease of use, so picking the right type will help you get the most out of your fire. Here’s our quick guide to choosing the best logs for your home.

Why kiln-dried?

Kiln-dried logs have a lower moisture content (below 20%), making them easier to light, cleaner to burn, and more efficient than seasoned or wet wood.

They’re also better for your stove or fireplace, reducing soot and chimney build-up.

Types of Wood

Birch
Birch lights quickly and burns bright, giving off lots of heat. It doesn’t last as long as oak or ash, but it’s perfect for kindling, quick fires, or mixing with slower-burning logs.

Oak
Oak is a dense, slow-burning hardwood that produces steady, high heat. It’s ideal for wood-burning stoves or long evenings when you want a fire that lasts without constant refuelling.

Ash
Ash is a dependable all-rounder. It’s easy to light, burns with a steady heat, and works well in both open fires and stoves, making it a popular choice for everyday use.

Choosing Your Firewood

Firewood for Log Burners
Kiln-dried hardwoods like oak and ash are perfect for log burners. They burn slowly, give off steady heat, and make the most of your stove’s efficiency, keeping your home warm for longer.
Logs for Open Fires
For open fires, ash and birch are ideal. Ash provides a steady flame, while birch lights quickly and produces a bright, cheerful fire, perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere.
Logs for Pizza Ovens
Birch and ash work brilliantly in pizza ovens. They light fast, burn hot, and give consistent heat, helping you reach cooking temperatures quickly without overwhelming smoke.
Logs for Fire Pits
For outdoor fire pits, birch gives a lively flame while oak provides longer-lasting heat. A mix of both means you can enjoy bright flames at the start and glowing embers late into the evening.
