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 below 10%, like Randalls Firewood).
Opting for our kiln dried logs and firewood specifically ensures top performance. 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 kiln dried logs 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 kiln dried logs or firewood enhances efficiency, cleanliness, and overall value, making it an optimal choice for heating and cooking.

Birch Logs
One of our most popular varieties of kiln dried logs is birch. Birch is a hardwood that is known for its clean burn and long-lasting heat output. Our Birch Kiln Dried Logs are sourced from sustainable forests, and are carefully kiln dried to ensure maximum heat output and minimal smoke.

With their dense composition, Oak logs create a hot and long burn, making them ideal for keeping your home warm and cosy during colder months. However, it’s important to note that Oak logs need to be used when the fire has reached a high temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are kiln dried logs?
Kiln dried logs are firewood that has been dried in a kiln to reduce their moisture content to less than 20%. This process makes them burn more efficiently, produce less smoke, and create less creosote buildup, making them ideal for use in wood burners, fireplaces, and ovens.
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 below 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.
