Kiln Dried Logs Ready To Go

In the UK, it is now important that where possible we are only using the most environmentally friendly products when trying to heat our homes (or snuggling around a fire in the garden). This is why, here at D Price & Sons, we only stock the best kiln dried logs in Stoke on Trent. 

Hardwood Kiln Dried Logs

Hardwood Kiln Dried Logs are the nations favourite source of fuel to heat our home in the winter. While real fires and stoves have come back in style over the last 10 years, so has the focus on becoming environmentally friendly. So why are these logs ideal?

Kiln Dried Logs have been dried out using large scale kilns over a period of up to 6 days. This ensures that the logs have a moisture content of less than 20%. This is now required to be suitable for burning under the UK governments new clean air strategy. 

By drying out these logs, you are reducing less moisture into the air when they are being burnt. This moisture contains levels of pollutants and particles that can be considered dangerous in high levels or in poorly ventilated areas. Making your fire not only safe for the environment but also for your family. 

Why Hardwood Logs

While you can safely use kiln dried softwood logs on your fire, there are a number of reasons as to why we choose to use hardwood kiln dried logs in Staffordshire. 

Hardwood logs may appear as the more expensive option upfront. However, in the long run, you may find that it will save you money (and storage!).

Hardwood kiln dried logs burn both hotter and longer than your average softwood kiln dried logs would. Meaning that, on an average wintery evening in your home, you will use less hardwood, than you would softwood. This also means that to give you the same heat, you require fewer hardwood logs at any one given time than you would softwood. 

Added Extras

It's not just your hardwood logs that make the ideal fire. There are a couple of added extras that can help improve the performance of your fire. And they're also available here at D Price & Sons, for free delivery when ordered with your logs!

For starters, you'll need some kindling to help get your fire started. While kiln dried logs are easier to light than damp wood, kindling will help it to catch and spread, giving you a fuller, more even fire once it completely catches. 

To help keep your fire hotter for longer, not to mention help to keep it even, you can also lay a bed of smokeless coal underneath your logs. This coal will help to keep your logs burning evenly while retaining heat to spread throughout your home.
