Kiln-Dried Oak Logs
Oak is one of the best types of firewood you can burn. It has a high heat output and creates very few sparks making it a safe option for your home. Oak in general produces very little smoke too, creating a clean environment for you to enjoy.
We put our seasoned oak hardwood and firewood in stillages or in open piles in the sun for as long as we can, which we then finish off in the kiln. This provides a super dry product (i.e. around 15% MC or Moisture Content) with minimum usage of fuel for drying. The kiln is powered by logs too, usually tree surgery waste or wood that is of inferior quality to the sales product.
In general, the advantages to using kiln-dried oak firewood is that there is less smoke, a higher heat output, less ash, less corrosion to metal flues or expensive appliances and less pollution due to better cracking of the wood gases.
