Firewood FAQs

Hardwood Firewood Logs FAQs

Which hardwoods are best for firewood?

Some top hardwood choices for use as firewood include: oak, ash, beech, and birch. Oak and ash reach highest temperatures and burn for the longest time, whereas birch is easy to ignite.

 

What is the difference between hardwood and softwood?

The main differences between hardwood and softwood include:

  • Heat output: Hardwood is denser so has more energy to burn, resulting in higher temperatures.
  • Burn time: Hardwood burns for longer. Softwood is best for starting the initial flame.
  • Smoke production: Hardwood produces less smoke.
  • Flame characteristics: Hardwood creates a lower, steady flame, whereas softwood creates lively, bright, crackly flames.
  • Cost: Hardwood is more expensive than softwood but burns more efficiently so is more cost-effective for long-burning fires.

 

What is kiln dried firewood?

Kiln dried firewood is wood that is dried in a kiln (a type of oven). It’s a way of quickly and thoroughly drying wood to achieve low moisture content and to kill of bugs/mould.

 

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and across the central belt of Scotland.

 

How much does delivery cost?

You can collect for free from our Cumbernauld site. For addresses within 30 miles of our site, we offer free delivery, with a minimum of 2 bags for orders between 20 and 30 miles. Beyond this, you can contact us for a quote.

 

Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs

What is kiln dried hardwood?

Kiln dried hardwood is wood that has been dried out in a kiln (a type of oven). Kiln drying is preferred to other drying methods because it produces wood with consistent lower moisture content, which leads to less smoke and more efficient burning, giving you more for your money. It also kills off pests and mould making it safer to store indoors.

 

Can kiln dried wood get wet?

Yes, kiln dried wood can get wet if not stored properly. You should protect your kiln dried wood to prevent it getting wet as this will reduce its efficiency! Here at Stewart Timber, we sell a range of log stores to keep your firewood safe from the elements.

 

How to tell if wood is kiln dried?

You can spot kiln dried wood as it is often uniform in colour, has low moisture content, and has minimal cracking/warping.

 

Does kiln dried wood rot?

If stored properly, kiln dried wood is resistant to fungal decay. Its low moisture content means it’s not as attractive a home for bacteria and bugs.

 

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and across the central belt of Scotland.

 

How much does delivery cost?

You can collect for free from our Cumbernauld site. For addresses within 30 miles of our site, we offer free delivery, with a minimum of 2 bags for orders between 20 and 30 miles. Beyond this, you can contact us for a quote.

Firewood FAQ

Why is moisture content important in firewood?

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.

 

What does “kiln dried” mean?

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.

 

Why is kiln dried better than seasoned firewood?

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.

 

What species of hardwood do you use for your logs?

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.

 

How should I store the logs once I have them?

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.
