Why Kiln-Dried Firewood?

• Insect-Free          •         Cleaner Burning          •        Higher BTUs         •        Easy To Light


Insects inhabit firewood to use as either shelter, a breeding ground or as a source of food.  Hundreds of different
kinds of insects, such as ants, beetles and termites, can reside in green or seasoned wood.  Kiln drying wood kills
insects and the larvae that live inside wood. We guarantee that our kiln dried firewood is ready to burn when delivered
to you. We dry our firewood in kilns especially built to dry firewood. The kiln dried firewood is dried to an average of
15-20% moisture content. After kiln drying the wood is stored under cover in a cooling shed until it is delivered. Kiln-
drying insures you insect free, cleaner burning firewood produces higher BTUs with less creosote buildup and it is
available year round.


Kiln dried firewood is put in a heated chamber for a period of time which extracts moisture from the wood, so that it is
consistently dry. The result is a easy to start, and good burning wood, which does not smoke like wet wood does.


In addition, the heat treating process of drying the firewood, kills all insects, and keeps the wood bright and fresh
looking. Firewood that is kiln dried has natural stress cracks in the wood which is a tell-tale sign that the wood is
indeed dry.


While you may pay a little extra for kiln dried wood, you get a guaranteed dry product, without insects. The US Forest
Products Lab compiled data which indicated that kiln dried firewood has up to one million BTU more heat energy per
cord than green firewood. This increases the heating value by 25%, so you get a longer lasting fire, and less trips to
the woodpile.
