THE KILN DRYING PROCESS
1) TREE FELLING: From fully sustainable forests, Tree Surgeons will carefully select designated trees to be harvested for Firewood or the Timber Trade.
2) HARVESTING: Once felled the trees are carefully taken to designated areas for part seasoning and transportation.
3) TRANSPORTATION: The fallen trees are then stacked onto specialist lorries for delivery to the processing yard.
4) PROCESSING: Specialist processing machines then cut the logs to size and then split into smaller pieces ready for your wood burner.
5) KILN DRYING: The split logs are then placed into crates and taken to the kiln for drying. The drying time can take from 3 to 7 days.
KILN DRIED HARDWOOD
ASH HARDWOOD
Considered one of the best firewoods. It has a low water content and can be burned green. It is still best when seasoned and will burn at a steady rate.
HEAT OUTPUT: High
BURN TIME: Long
SEASONED TIME: 12-18 Months
BEECH HARDWOOD
Having a high water content when cut down, Beech requires a long time to season. If kiln dried it is one of the best varieties to use on your fire.
