Why Kiln Dried?
Low Moisture Content
Kiln dried wood has a very low moisture content, of 20% or less. This makes it easier to ignite and produces a hotter, more efficient burn compared to green or seasoned wood.
Clean Burn
Kiln dried wood burns more cleanly, producing less smoke, soot, and tar build up in chimneys. This reduces the risk of chimney fires and makes it better for indoor use.
Sustainable
Kiln-drying is often considered environmentally friendly because the process can be powered by renewable energy sources, and the wood produces fewer pollutants when burned.
Less Ash and Residue
The cleaner burn of kiln-dried wood results in less ash and residue, making clean up easier and more manageable.
Consistent Quality
The controlled drying process ensures that each piece of kiln dried wood is uniform in moisture content and quality, providing a consistent burn experience.
Energy Efficient
Because it burns more efficiently, kiln dried wood produces more heat per log. This makes it an excellent choice for heating your home or maintaining a consistent fire for cooking.
Ready to Use
Kiln dried wood is immediately ready for use, with no need for further drying or seasoning, making this a convenient form of firewood.
Safer for Indoor Use
By producing less smoke and having a cleaner burn, kiln dried wood is particularly suitable for indoor fireplaces and stoves.
