20L Carry Bag Kiln dried Birch logs

There are advantages to burning kiln dried hardwood logs compared to burning green or wet wood:

• Higher heat output – Since the moisture content has been substantially reduced through kiln drying, more of the energy released goes into heating rather than evaporating residual water in the wood. Kiln dried wood can provide up to 50% more usable heat energy.

• Cleaner burning – With less moisture, there is less creosote build up in chimneys and stove pipes. This reduces the risk of chimney fires.

• Easier ignition – Without as much moisture, kiln dried logs light quicker and require less kindling to get a fire going. This makes starting and maintaining a fire easier.

• Less smoke – The combustion is more efficient with drier wood, so there is less smouldering and smoke released into the room.

• Consistent sizing – Kiln drying often includes splitting and sizing the logs to a consistent thickness. This can allow for better stacking and air flow.

• Less bugs – The high heat of kiln drying kills any insects or larvae in the wood. This prevents bugs from being brought into the home.

• Less mess – With less moisture, there is less dripping of sap or creosote while the wood is stored and burned.

So in summary, burning kiln dried wood provides more heat, cleaner burning, and easier fire starting while reducing smoke and mess. This can make for a better overall wood burning experience.
