Seasonal Storage: Keep Logs Dry & Orderly

  • Store logs off the ground and under a cover—rain and damp are a burners’ worst enemy.
  • Use a log store or open-sided shed that allows airflow.
  • Split logs seasonally—smaller pieces dry faster and can season properly.
  • Rotating your stack lets the older wood dry first and reduces mould.

Seasoned vs. Kiln-Dried: Choose What Fits

Type

Pros

Best For

Seasoned Logs

Cost-effective, steady burn

Open fires, homes with regulated wood-burning

Kiln-Dried Logs

Low moisture, high heat, near-zero smoke

Efficient stoves, pizza ovens, clean burning

Both types are dried to under 20% moisture. Let us know if you need help picking the right one for your setup.

Efficient and Safe Burning Tips

  • Build fire with kindling first—get the heat started low and slow.

  • Use smaller logs first; add larger ones once the fire’s established.

  • Avoid overloading—too much wood chokes airflow and causes smoke.

  • Always keep fire guards in place and use fire-resistant hearths.

  • Never burn wood that’s treated, painted, or glued—only natural, clean hardwood.
