Best Wood for Log Burners: Top Picks for Efficient Heating

10 Days ago

Wood-burning appliances provide significant heat and beautiful flames and can save you money on utility bills. However, knowing the best solid fuel to purchase is essential for efficient heating.

 

HouseFuel presents the best wood choice for log burners to heat your home effectively and keep costs down.


Why Choose Kiln-Dried Firewood?


Log burners are an increasingly popular option for heating the home because of the long-term savings that can be made and the possibility that your home will increase in value.


Kiln-dried logs are the best choice for authentic firewood that has been adequately seasoned to produce excellent efficiency. Our kiln-drying process removes most of the moisture within the logs (which can contain at least 45% moisture when first cut) to ensure they have below 20% moisture afterwards and are, therefore, safe and ready to burn.


It is important to be mindful, and educated to the risks that unseasoned wood poses to the safety of people in the fire's vicinity. It's more likely that PM2.5 (Particulate Matter) can be breathed in and contribute to respiratory conditions. Also, because more smoke will be emitted when this wood is burned, it has adverse outcomes for the environment.


Kiln-dried wood is long-lasting, slumbering well overnight to provide a consistent heat and ambience; the versatility of this product is why many decide to purchase kiln-dried wood, but they burn wonderfully well in a log burner, among other appliances.

Heat Logs are another brilliant choice for substantial heat and low smoke output, but they're unlikely to be the best choice for log burners because they reach higher temperatures than kiln-dried wood. We suggest you always opt for kiln-dried wood in a log burner and leave the Heat Logs for open fires or a multi-fuel stove.


When you purchase in bulk, you'll run out of kiln-dried firewood far less than in smaller quantities, saving you money per kilogram and the hassle of frequent reordering. Bear in mind the additional storage space you'll require for a more significant number of logs and how they should be stored so they don't absorb moisture. Otherwise, smaller quantities of logs can be purchased for convenience and quick use. 


Possessing Ready To Burn certified wood means you are free to burn the logs wherever you are located; restrictions in some areas via Smoke Control Area legislation means locals need to remain aware of their smoke emissions, something you will not need to be concerned about with HouseFuel's kiln-dried wood.


Log burners have air vents, ash pans, a flue, and extraction pipes to rid your home of the little excess pollutants kiln-dried logs produce, making this an excellent appliance when paired with kiln-dried firewood.
