Seasoned logs are dried naturally over time rather than in a kiln. The description alone does not guarantee that a load is ready to burn, so compare the supplier's moisture information as well as the species, quantity and log size.

What to check before ordering seasoned logs

• Current moisture content: drying time varies with splitting, stacking, airflow and weather. Ask for the measured moisture information for the product being sold.
• Species: seasoned hardwood and softwood burn differently; check what is included rather than assuming from the word “seasoned”.
• Log length: confirm that the pieces fit your appliance.
• Quantity: compare a stated weight or volume, not informal labels such as “load” or “dumpy bag”.
• Storage: keep delivered logs raised, sheltered from rain and ventilated.

Seasoned or kiln-dried?

Both can be suitable when the logs are dry enough for use. Kiln drying is controlled and can produce more consistent results; naturally seasoned logs can be a practical local option when the supplier gives clear moisture and quantity details. You can also compare kiln-dried logs near you.
