Why More Irish Households Are Choosing Kiln Dried Firewood for Winter
As the evenings get colder and winter approaches, many households are starting to think about how they will keep their homes warm over the months ahead with firewood.
For homeowners with an open fire, wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove, one option continues to be popular: kiln dried firewood.
Firewood is a traditional way of heating the home, but today’s kiln-dried logs offer a convenient, ready-to-burn option that makes preparing your fire simple. At Stafford Fuels, we supply quality kiln dried firewood, kindling and wood fuel to help you get your fire going and keep your home warm.
Why Choose Kiln Dried?
Not all firewood is the same. One of the biggest advantages of kiln dried logs is their lower moisture content.
Our kiln dried firewood contains less than 20% moisture, helping the logs light easily and burn with high combustion efficiency. They also produce very little ash and offer a high heat output, making them a practical choice for your home fire.
For anyone searching for the best firewood for a wood-burning stove or kiln dried logs for an open fire, choosing properly dried firewood is an important part of getting the most from your fuel.
Kiln Dried Logs Are Ready to Burn
One of the reasons kiln dried firewood is becoming increasingly popular is convenience.
Our logs are supplied ready chopped, so there is no preparation required before using them. Simply store your firewood somewhere dry and it is ready when you need it.
That makes kiln dried logs particularly convenient for busy households looking to keep a supply of firewood at home throughout the colder months.
Firewood for Wood-Burning Stoves and Open Fires
Whether you have a traditional open fire or a modern wood-burning stove, having quality firewood to hand means you’re ready when the temperature drops.
Stafford’s kiln dried softwood logs are suitable for both open fires and closed appliances, including heaters, boilers and multi-fuel stoves, subject to your appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
We also supply kiln dried hardwood logs and larger crates of Ash/Oak firewood, giving you options depending on your home and how much fuel you need.
Why Stock Up on Firewood Before Winter?
Waiting until the first really cold evening to order your firewood isn’t always the best approach.
As winter approaches, having a good supply of fuel at home means you’re ready to light the fire whenever you need it.
Buying your firewood online and planning ahead can also make life easier. Rather than making a last-minute trip for bags of logs, you can have your fuel delivered directly to you.
At Stafford Fuels, we offer a range of firewood, kindling, wood briquettes and solid fuels, making it easy to stock up for the colder months.
Firewood, Kindling and Briquettes: A Complete Fire
Firewood doesn’t have to be used on its own.
Many households keep kiln dried kindling to help get the fire started before adding their logs or other suitable solid fuel.
Our kiln dried kindling has a moisture content of less than 20%, making it easy to light and ideal for getting your fire off to a roaring start.
We also supply WillowWarm briquettes and eFLAME natural wood briquettes, giving customers additional options for their open fire, stove or other suitable appliance.
Choosing the Right Firewood for Your Home
When buying firewood, there are a few things worth considering:
1. Is it kiln dried?
Look for properly dried firewood with a suitable moisture content.
2. Is it suitable for your appliance?
Always check your stove or appliance manufacturer’s instructions before choosing a fuel.
3. How much firewood do you need?
If you use your fire regularly throughout winter, buying a larger quantity can be a convenient way to keep a good supply at home.
4. Can you store it somewhere dry?
Firewood should always be stored in a dry location to help maintain its quality.
