At Steve Lloyd Timber we produce kiln -dried firewood (both hardwood and softwood)

Kiln-dried firewood is dried in a kiln using heat and airflow, bringing the moisture content down to below 20%—typically around 10-15%. (n.b. naturally seasoned wood has a higher moisture content) This guarantees a clean, high-efficiency burn.

Kiln-Dried Firewood:

  • Ready-to-burn certified: Meets UK government regulations and is ideal for use in wood-burning stoves, especially in smoke-controlled zones.
  • High heat output: Less moisture means more heat per log, reducing the number of logs you need to burn.
  • Long shelf life: When stored properly, kiln-dried logs last longer without risk of mould or decay.

Domestic Use:

For domestic customers we consider kiln-dried firewood is best as it is ready to use right away and produces maximum heat output with minimal smoke.

Wholesale & Bulk Orders:

For wholesale buyers, the decision also involves considerations such as storage, logistics, and customer preferences.

  • Kiln-dried firewood is ideal for businesses that need to comply with local emissions laws or offer premium products to their customers. It’s especially popular with:
    • Hotels and spas
    • Farm shops and garden centres
    • Holiday cottages and glamping sites
