The Benefits Of Kiln Dried Firewood At Scottish Wood

Whilst we may be in the middle of summer, it’s never too early to start planning for the

colder months, and ensuring that you have a reliable and eBicient source of firewood

becomes essential. Kiln dried firewood is an increasingly popular choice for many

households, and for good reason. At Scottish Wood, we are committed to providing

high-quality kiln dried firewood that not only keeps your home warm but as with the sale

of our timber, purchasing our Firewood also supports important conservation and

community projects through our mother charity, Dynamic Woods.



Kiln dried firewood is wood that has been dried in a kiln to reduce its moisture content

to around 20% or less. This process involves placing the wood in a kiln, where it is

heated to remove moisture. The result is a product that burns more eBiciently and

cleanly than traditional seasoned firewood.


Benefits of Kiln Dried Firewood


Higher Energy EBiciency- Kiln dried firewood has a lower moisture content compared to

traditionally seasoned wood, which means it burns hotter and produces more heat. This

makes it a more eBicient fuel source, allowing you to get the most out of each log.


Cleaner Burn- With less moisture in the wood, kiln dried firewood produces less smoke

and creosote. This not only keeps your chimney cleaner but also reduces the risk of

chimney fires. A cleaner burn also means fewer emissions, making it a more

environmentally friendly option.


Easier to Light- The low moisture content of kiln dried firewood makes it easier to ignite.

You won’t need to use excessive amounts of kindling or fire starters, making the process

of starting a fire simpler and quicker.


Longer Shelf Life- Kiln dried firewood has a longer shelf life because it is less likely to rot

or become infested with insects. This makes it a more convenient and reliable option for

long-term storage.


Consistent Quality- The kiln drying process ensures a consistent moisture level across

all logs, providing a uniform burning experience. This consistency means you can rely on

kiln dried firewood to deliver the same high-quality performance every time.
