How do I store my wood?

If you’re lucky enough to have a shed or outhouse, this is probably the best option as your logs will stay dry and protected from the elements.

If you’re storing logs outside, it’s best to cover them with a tarpaulin as there’s always a danger of rain, in this country! It’s also a good idea to bring a few into the house before you intend to use them.

There’s an art to stacking logs … we recommend aiming for around a metre high and make sure you allow for plenty of circulation, leaving gaps between the logs. Each layer needs to be facing in the opposite direction. It’s a bit like wooden Jenga!

 

What is the difference between seasoned logs compared to kiln dried wood?

As far as the logs are concerned there is no difference as all our wood carries the Woodsure "Ready to Burn certificate, which means the logs all have under 20% moisture content.

Seasoned logs are when the wood has been cut and stored in our barns , with good natural air flow and warmth for over 18 months and let to dry naturally over time.

Kiln dried is when we place the wood into our kiln and it is forced dried.

Simply put, the difference is that kiln dried logs are dried artificially in an industrial kiln to remove excess moisture whereas seasoned logs dry out naturally in the open air over a longer period of time and you need the space to store them.
