Moisture Content for Kiln Dried logs is a very emotive subject & sometimes can be really difficult to quantify. When our logs come in we sample test the exterior and sides of the logs with a moisture meter and a random selection we split to read the moisture in the centre. Each crate usually contains a mixture of log sizes (all a maximum of 25cms in length) and often the smaller logs have an extremely low moisture content and the slightly chunkier can be slightly higher on the exterior, so we can only fairly and honestly give you our valued opinion of the moisture content which we believe is 10-20%.
Read Our MOISTURE CONTENT Page For More Information
We do everything we can to ensure our Kiln Dried Logs meet and do not exceed the quoted moisture content but we can never be 100% accurate and can only give you an approximate moisture content.
Our logs are all a maximum of 25cms in length and are a mixture in size - 6-12 cms at widest width which fits most stoves but this is only a guide
In each listing is the approximate Crate & Bag measurements and these measurements are the outer measurements
Seasoned logs have been cut & left out to dry and can take between 1 to 3 years to thoroughly dry out. Kiln Dried Logs are dried in a Kiln which is basically a large oven to extract the moisture in less than 10 days. Our kiln dried logs are cut & split to the required lengths and secured in cages where they enter the kiln, the kiln is then raised to 80 degrees and are monitored to maintain this temperature. The process can not be speeded up by raising the heat above 80 degrees because what then happens is the moisture hides in the capillaries and is trapped.
In general hardwood timber it takes a lot longer to dry naturally and in the UK this could take anything up to 3 years before the logs are suitable for burning. Trying to burn seasoned hardwood that is not totally dry is the worst kind of wood to burn and you simply will not generate much heat at all. With Kiln Dried Logs they are dried in a large kiln to ensure low moisture and are ready to use straight away
