Benefits of Our Kiln Dried Logs

Kiln dried logs and firewood are exceptionally efficient, clean-burning fuel sources due to their low moisture content, typically under 20% (and sometimes averagomg 10%, like Randalls Firewood).

Choosing Randalls kiln dried logs specifically ensures the best performance for your open fire or wood burner. These logs ignite quickly, burn hotter, and produce less creosote buildup, which protects your chimney and improves air quality.

This results in several key benefits:

1. High Heat Output:

Kiln dried logs burn hotter than regular logs, providing a consistent and strong heat ideal for fireplaces, wood burners, and cooking. Choose different logs at different stages of your fire to ensure a long lasting, warm and cosy fire.

2. Easy Ignition and Low Smoke

Reduced moisture means faster ignition and significantly less smoke, making kiln dried firewood better for indoor use as it minimises soot and creosote buildup in chimneys, meaning less risk of chimney fire and less frequent sweeping (although we always recommend annual sweeping).

3. Environmental Friendliness:

Sourced sustainably, kiln dried logs are an eco-friendly choice. Their efficiency reduces the amount of wood needed for the same heat output, lessening the demand on forests. Our firewood comes from sustainably managed, European forest sources.

4. Cost-Effective Heating:

Paying for logs that are dried professionally in a kiln means paying for usable wood, not water weight, ensuring better value as they burn longer and hotter compared to seasoned firewood.

5. Versatility:

Kiln dried firewood is ideal for use in fireplaces, stoves, pizza ovens, and outdoor pits, providing a consistent, reliable burn across multiple applications.

Choosing our kiln dried logs enhances efficiency, cleanliness, and overall value, making it an optimal choice for heating and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why are kiln dried logs better than seasoned logs?

Kiln dried logs have a lower moisture content than seasoned logs, meaning they ignite faster, burn hotter, and produce less smoke. They also generate less residue in chimneys, making them safer for long-term use.

What types of wood are available as kiln dried logs?

We offer a variety of hardwoods such as Beech, Birch, Hornbeam, Maple and Oak. Each wood type provides unique burning characteristics, with some offering longer burn times and others quicker ignition.

Are kiln dried logs eco-friendly?

Yes, our kiln dried logs are sustainably sourced from well-managed forests. Additionally, because they burn more efficiently and produce less smoke, they have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional firewood.

How should I store kiln dried logs?

Store your kiln dried logs in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, ideally under a covered area, to maintain their low moisture content and ensure they remain ready for use.

Can I use kiln dried logs for cooking?

Yes, kiln dried logs are excellent for cooking, especially in wood-fired ovens or BBQs. They burn cleanly, imparting a rich flavour to your food while producing less ash.

What is the moisture content of Randall’s kiln dried logs?

Randall’s kiln dried logs have a moisture content averaging 10%, significantly lower than many other providers. This ensures you’re paying for more usable wood and not excess moisture. Logs with higher moisture content tend to burn inefficiently, leading to less heat output and more smoke. With our low-moisture logs, you enjoy a hotter, cleaner, longer burn.

Reviews

				Recently had a log burner installed and was overwhelmed with the different suppliers of logs online.  I final chose Randalls due to there reasonably close proximity to home but mainly based on others review.  I now join with them, the ordering online was very easy, ordered at 10pm, had a booking call 11am, logs arrived following day.  The crate packing is densely packed, well packaged and plastic wrapped to protect from the rain.  I was suprised by how dry the logs were, much drier that store bought logs.  The smell is incredible and burn time is exceptional.  I have no reservations to purchase from them again in the future. My 2 meter by 1 meter log store is brimming with logs this hopefully gives you an idea of how much wood comes from one crate, also the second image shows the quality and size difference between shop bought and Randells, wow just wow!

				Politeness on the phone, on ordering and asking for an ETA, goods well packed and secure and waterproofed, delivered to where I wanted off the truck, only 1x small gripe a lot more expensive than the other company I was using, but you don't buy a roll's Royce for mini money.

				Brillaint company to deal with. Excellent service and great quality logs. Chris was very helpful from the first enquiry all the way through to the delivery. They don't just drop the pallet on the kerbside but moved it for me down my driveway to where I wanted it. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be using them in the future! The weatherproof cover is a great option when ordering the stacked crates if you don't have storage for the logs.

				2014 we first had Randall’s logs had them ever since. The price is reasonable and the logs are of good quality and you get a good amount for your money. We did try others before finding Randall’s and the logs just burnt away.

Always helpful with delivery of logs too and put them where we ask wouldn’t go

Anywhere else.

				The best woods and service.

Thats why i use it !

I would like crates screwed rather than nailed as this is time consuming to break dawn (because of this considering elsewhere).

				Fabulous Kiln-Dried Firewood, delivered on time, on budget &  to the specified driveway location. Having used Randall’s Firewood previously, for a local log delivery to my Mother’s property, I had no hesitation in ordering a Standard Kiln-Dried Birch & Hornbeam Mixed Standard Crate. Online ordering was simple & straightforward, with an instantaneous  order confirmation & text message updates regarding the delivery date & window. Chris, from Randall’s Firewood, took personal responsibility from order to delivery. I bought the (optional) waterproof log crate cover, which is a really great accessory when storing logs outside. Order with confidence before they sell iout ! 🪵🔥
