How to Choose the Best Kiln-Dried Logs for Your Home
When it comes to fuelling your stove or fireplace, not all logs are equal. Here’s a quick guide on what to look for and why Lightning Logs is your go-to supplier:
✅ 1. Moisture Content
-
Aim for logs with moisture content below 20% – this ensures a clean, hot, efficient burn.
-
All our logs are kiln-dried and moisture-tested before delivery.
✅ 2. Hardwood vs. Softwood
-
Hardwood logs (like ash, oak, beech) burn longer and hotter – perfect for log burners and indoor fires.
-
Softwoods burn quicker – suitable for kindling or fast heat.
We only supply premium hardwood kiln logs, ensuring heat, longevity, and fewer refills.
✅ 3. Size and Cut
-
Make sure logs fit your burner – our standard logs are cut to 25cm, ideal for most domestic burners.
-
Uniform cuts mean consistent, even burning.
How to Use Your Log Burner Safely and Efficiently
Owning a log burner is a great way to stay warm and cut down on heating bills – but using it correctly is key to safety and performance.
Step 1: Prepare Your Stove
-
Clear old ash
-
Check the air vents and chimney flue
-
Ensure the door seals properly
Step 2: Create a Fire Bed
Use dry kindling (or our kiln-dried softwood) and a natural firelighter – avoid paper or treated wood.
Step 3: Build the Fire (Top-Down Method)
-
Place large logs at the base
-
Medium-sized logs in the middle
-
Kindling and firelighters on top
-
Light from the top – this method burns cleaner and reduces smoke
Step 4: Control the Airflow
-
Start with vents fully open
-
As the fire gets going, reduce airflow gradually
-
Keep flames steady, not roaring – too much flame wastes heat and fuel
♻️ Step 5: Keep It Clean and Maintained
-
Empty ash pans regularly
-
Book annual chimney sweeps
-
Only burn proper kiln-dried logs – never wet wood, treated timber, or household waste
