🔥 Why kiln-dried logs cost more… and why we’re working hard to hold our prices 🔥
You’ve probably seen the headlines over recent weeks about uncertainty affecting fuel prices. With diesel costs rising again and the high energy demand needed to kiln dry logs, our production costs continue to increase.
Despite this, we’re doing everything we can to hold our prices and avoid passing those increases on to our customers.
But it’s worth remembering that not all logs are the same.
🌳 Seasoned (air-dried) logs
• Naturally dried outdoors over many months.
• Moisture content can vary depending on the weather and how they’re stored.
• Often produce more smoke, are harder to light and can give off less heat.
• May not always meet the Ready to Burn moisture standard.
🔥 Our kiln-dried logs
• Dried in a controlled kiln to below 20% moisture, meeting the Woodsure Ready to Burn standard.
• Light quickly and burn hotter.
• Produce significantly less smoke and soot.
• Give a cleaner, more efficient burn, helping reduce chimney deposits.
• More of the wood’s energy goes into producing heat rather than evaporating excess moisture.
Although kiln drying is more expensive, you’re getting a premium product that burns better, lasts longer in use and gives you more usable heat.
As one of the few local Woodsure Ready to Burn accredited suppliers, you can buy from Knightwick Logs with confidence, knowing exactly what you’re getting.
If your log store is looking a little low, we’d love to help.
