How do I store firewood at home?
Firewood logs are best stored in a well-aerated environment. Ideally, firewood should be kept outdoors under a waterproof roof and suitably stacked in a log store or holder.
How do you dry kiln dried logs?
As a biomass-approved supplier (BSL), our wood waste is used to fuel our biomass boiler, which heats our kiln drying ovens. This process meets “clean air standards” and is an incredibly sustainable way to dry firewood. After cutting the wood, it is placed into large metal crates and loaded into the ovens, where warm air slowly circulates around them for around 4 days to withdraw moisture. As a result, we consistently achieve moisture levels below 20% to ensure the best firewood for a long-lasting burn.
What volume of firewood do I need?
This depends on the size of the area you wish to ignite and what type of wood you want to use. If you need help deciding, speak to our experts, and we can help you choose the ideal heat logs for your home.
Is burning fire logs bad for the environment?
Burning firewood is highly eco-friendly. In fact, it’s classed as a renewable energy source as the carbon emitted is reabsorbed by newly planted trees. In addition, green Olive Firewood naturally sources fire logs from sustainable forests with a transparent replanting process. Plus, our firewood is dense and dry, enabling a slow and efficient burn.
What is the best firewood for a wood-burning stove?
Always build a fire from smaller pieces of lighter woods to denser, larger pieces. We recommend starting any fire using our natural firelighters & Kindling wood sticks the add some softwood Dry Logs. Once you have a good flame and high heat add some Kiln Dried Hardwood for an efficient burn – this is an excellent choice for wood-burning stoves. For an extended burn time and higher heat output, slowly introduce our Premium Heat Firewood which comes as a mix such as Oak, Beech and Hornbeam or our signature Olive Wood.
