Crate of kiln Dried Hornbeam logs

Our Woodsure Ready to Burn kiln dried Hornbeam logs have a moisture content of 20% or less. These logs have been hand stacked into wooden crates, leaving very few air gaps and therefore giving you more wood than you would get within a bag or tote bag. We estimate that one of these crates is equivalent to 1.57 cubic metres of loose filled wood, or around the equivalent of at least 2.36 standard tote bags.

The kiln dried crates contain only Hornbeam logs. No mixing has taken place with other hardwoods. Hornbeam is a very dense hardwood and gives a much longer burn time that other types of firewood. Hornbeam boasts a calorific value similar to oak, providing intense heat that efficiently warms your space. It produces minimal smoke and leaves little ash residue, making it a good choice for those concerned about air quality and chimney maintenance. Hornbeam burns with a bright, attractive flame, adding a touch of ambiance to your fireplace.

Hornbeam is harder to ignite compared to Birch, so we would advise using kindling and firefighters to get your fire established.

The main advantage of kiln dried logs is that they are ready to burn at any time of year. They don't need to be seasoned before they can be used. Kiln Dried Logs burn hotter and for longer than any other wood rival. By thoroughly drying through a purpose built kiln this wood achieves very low moisture content which in turn produces a higher heat for a longer time. The result for you is a stunning wood fuel which gives you great value for money through higher levels of efficiency.

Prior to being dispatched the crate has a shower-proof cover placed over the top of the crate and is then shrink wrapped to prevent the logs from getting wet.
