Kiln drying reduces the moisture in freshly cut wood under controlled conditions. Drier logs are easier to light and produce more useful heat than wet wood because less energy is spent evaporating water.

What to check before buying

• Moisture information: ask the supplier for the stated moisture content and whether the product carries the Ready to Burn mark.
• Log dimensions: check that the length and split size suit your stove or fireplace.
• Quantity: compare the stated weight or volume, not labels such as “builder's bag” alone.
• Storage: keep the delivery off the ground and protected from rain while allowing ventilation.

Collection or delivery?

Collection can work well for a small first order. For regular use, ask local suppliers about their delivery radius, minimum order, unloading method and fee. If local stock is limited, compare our UK log delivery options.
