The moisture content of firewood is important as the more moisture there is in your firewood, the more smoke produced during the burning process. An increase in smoke production can be harmful to both you and your burner.

We kiln dry our firewood for approximately 40 hours depending on the Original Moisture Content. Moisture Content is measured when logs come out of the kiln and checked at regular stages when being bagged. We aim to have the Overall Moisture Content of our firewood logs around 20%, ensuring you get an efficient burn.

All of our firewood is kiln dried. This is an artificial method of quickly drying out the wood to give you the best burning experience possible. It is also an effective method at killing pests and insect, ideal if you plan on storing your firewood indoors.

All of our firewood is kilned using our own wood waste as fuel, ensuring our process is environmentally friendly as possible. We therefore produce and sell a truly Scottish eco-friendly, reliable fuel which provides you with natural warmth and comfort.

All of our firewood products are kiln dried to give you a better burning experience. Seasoned hardwood can carry some harmful pathogens and is known to burn at a lower temperature. Whereas kiln dried firewood kills any harmful bugs and greatly improves moisture content and burns at a higher temperature, giving you a longer, more efficient burn.

At Stewart Timber we have been involved in forestry harvesting since 1968, and for our firewood we use Clydesdale Logs. The logs we use are always from hardwood trees including Beech, Ash, Elm, Sycamore, Birch and Oak.

It is important to us that we source and sell logs from local forrest’s. However in order to keep up with exceptional demand – we also source our small bagged firewood from FSC registered suppliers.

To ensure your firewood is of optimum quality for burning, it is best kept dry. That’s why at Stewart Timber we offer up a range of log stores  in a variety of sizes for all your log storage needs. However, if a log store isn’t for you, the best advice would be to simply keep it in a place where it will be kept dry.
