Firewood comparison

Kiln dried vs seasoned logs

Both can provide excellent warmth when properly dried. The main differences are how moisture is removed, consistency and the way each option fits your fire-lighting routine.

What are kiln dried logs?

Kiln dried logs are placed in a controlled drying environment where warm air removes moisture. Our kiln dried hardwood is around 15% moisture, making it easy to light and helping it burn efficiently.

What are seasoned logs?

Seasoned logs are dried naturally over time. Our seasoned firewood is left for over a year, allowing moisture to leave the wood gradually.

Which lights more easily?

Lower-moisture firewood generally lights more readily. Kiln dried logs offer especially consistent moisture, while properly seasoned logs should also light and burn well.

Hardwood, softwood and burn time

Dense hardwood commonly burns steadily, while softwood tends to catch quickly and produce a livelier flame. A mixed bag offers a useful balance for many households.

Which should I buy?

Choose kiln dried hardwood for especially consistent low moisture. Choose seasoned hardwood for traditional steady heat, mixed logs for versatility, or seasoned softwood for easy lighting and lively flames.
