WHY KILN DRIED LOGS
Why Buy Walker’s Logs?
Just ordered your first wood-burning stove? Before you light your first fire, it is important to know what type of firewood to use, because not all logs are created equally.
Freshly cut wood can contain up to 60% moisture, which makes it hard to light, smoky, and inefficient. You might have heard of seasoned wood – this is wood left to dry naturally, often not for long enough! Drying depends on the weather, storage, and wood type, therefore, it can be inconsistent. More moisture means less heat, more smoke, more soot, and a dirtier stove or fireplace.
The Kiln Dried Logs Experts
At Walker’s Logs, we have spent over 20 years perfecting our kiln drying process. After cutting, our logs go into large kilns for just 3-4 days, where controlled heat and airflow remove moisture quickly and evenly. We pay attention to all the little things that can affect the end result, meaning our logs come out of the kilns, consistently dry and ready to burn.
