Premium Oak Logs

The moisture content of our logs is meticulously monitored and maintained at less than 20% – the optimal level for burning. This is achieved through our kiln drying process, which, within only 48 hours at 60 degrees, reduces the wood’s moisture content to below the crucial 20% threshold.

What sets our logs apart from the rest is that they originate from our sawmill production, meaning they come from larger, more mature trees, resulting in denser timber. This not only enhances their burning properties but also contributes to their eco-friendliness, as they are produced from scratch right here in Kent.

Kiln-dried Oak Logs

We use a biomass boiler that is fueled with our sawdust to operate the kilns that dry the logs. This method not only provides superior kiln-dried hardwood for your open fire, but it also helps us to further reduce our environmental impact by efficiently recycling our waste products.

In conclusion, our kiln-dried oak logs are not just a high-quality choice for your firewood needs, but also an environmentally responsible one. With our long history in the business and commitment to sustainable practices, we are confident that our firewood will provide you with the warm, comforting fires you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose kiln-dried logs over seasoned logs?

Kiln-dried logs are significantly more efficient than traditional seasoned wood. Because of their ultra-low moisture content, they produce approximately 40% more heat per kilogram, ensuring you get more warmth for every log you burn.

Why is oak considered a superior firewood?

Oak is one of the densest hardwoods available. This high density results in a longer, sustained burn that generates more heat than almost all other hardwoods and softwoods, making it the gold standard for home heating.

Are kiln-dried logs better for the environment?

Yes. Because they are so dry, kiln-dried logs offer a much cleaner burn with significantly less smoke and fewer emissions. This makes them an environmentally safer choice for your home and the atmosphere.

Can I safely store these logs inside my home?

Absolutely. Our kiln-drying process eliminates any bugs, larvae, and mould. This makes our logs much cleaner and safer to store indoors compared to seasoned wood, which can often harbour pests.

Can you guarantee that my order will be 100% oak?

We are the only company we know of in the country that operates our own sawmill exclusively for oak timber. Because oak is the only wood we produce, we can guarantee that every single log you receive is 100% pure oak.
