What are Kiln-Dried Logs?

Kiln-dried logs are firewood that has undergone a controlled drying process in a commercial kiln. The logs are heated to around 60-70°C for 7-10 hours, reducing the moisture content to an optimal 10-15%. This low moisture level allows kiln-dried wood to ignite easily, burn hotter, and produce less smoke compared to seasoned wood.

The kiln-drying process ensures consistency in the quality of the logs, as we know exactly how long each species of wood will take to dry in the controlled temperature and conditions of the kiln. This results in a guarantee that the moisture levels are consistently below 20%, providing a reliable and efficient burning experience.

Benefits of Kent’s Kiln-Dried Firewood

1. Immediate Use: Kiln-dried logs from Kent Charcoal Firewood are ready to burn right away, eliminating the need for additional drying time.
2. Higher Heat Output: Our kiln-dried logs generate more than twice as much heat as wood with 50% moisture content, thanks to their low 10-15% moisture level. Burning wood around this moisture content level produces significantly more heat than wood with higher moisture content, making it a more energy-efficient and cost-effective choice.
3. Cleaner Burning: Kent’s kiln-dried wood burns cleaner, resulting in less soot and tar buildup in chimneys and on stove glass. It also destroys mould and insects during the drying process, ensuring a safer and more efficient burn. The drier the wood, the less particulate matter it emits, which is beneficial for both you and your log burner.
4. Consistent Quality: The controlled drying process used by Kent Charcoal Firewood ensures a uniform moisture level, providing a reliable and consistent burning experience.
5. Sustainably Sourced: Our firewood is sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly, allowing you to enjoy the warmth of a cosy fire while minimising your environmental impact.

Kiln-Dried vs. Seasoned Firewood

Seasoned logs are dried naturally over some time, which can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. The time taken to season firewood depends on where and how it has been stored, as well as the weather conditions over that period. This can result in some seasoned logs being sold before they have reached the optimal moisture content, leading to a less efficient burning experience.

In contrast, kiln-dried logs from Kent Charcoal Firewood are consistently dried to below 20% moisture content, ensuring a reliable and efficient burn. They are also easier to light and burn hotter and for longer than seasoned logs.

While kiln-dried wood may come at a higher price point, the increased efficiency and reduced maintenance make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a reliable and effective firewood option.
