The Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme: Benefits of Kiln-Dried Hardwood Logs

What is the Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme?

As more of us turn to log burners & fireplaces to heat our homes, we take a look at what it means when you choose to buy Ready To Burn firewood. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is an initiative aimed at ensuring consumers have access to high-quality firewood. It certifies that logs are fully kiln-dried and meet specific moisture content standards, allowing users to enjoy a more efficient and cleaner burning experience. The certification helps you to choose the best wood for your heating requirements.

What Does Being 'Ready to Burn' Mean?

Being labelled as 'ready to burn' signifies that the wood has been dried to a moisture content below 20% - ours is below 18%. This is essential because wood that is too wet not only burns inefficiently but also produces more smoke and increases emissions. The Woodsure program ensures that all certified wood is ready for immediate use, meaning you won’t have to wait for your logs to dry out before using them in your fireplace or wood-burning stove. This convenience is a key benefit that appeals to many stove & fireplace users, especially during colder months when you want to heat your home quickly.

The Benefits of Buying Kiln-Dried Ready to Burn Hardwood Logs

Investing in kiln-dried Ready To Burn firewood comes with four significant benefits:

• Efficiency: Kiln-dried hardwood is drier and produces more heat per log compared to unseasoned or soft wood, allowing for a more economical use.

• Lower Emissions: Ready To Burn logs produce less smoke and fewer harmful emissions, reducing the environmental impact of burning wood. This aligns with sustainable living practices.

• Convenience: With Ready To Burn logs, you can start your fire without the hassle of seasoning wood. This saves time and allows for more spontaneous use of your stove or fireplace.

• Better for Appliances: Using low-moisture-content wood helps maintain your fireplace or stove in a better condition, as it reduces the buildup of creosote in chimneys, which can pose fire hazards.

The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme not only assures you that you are purchasing quality firewood but also provides numerous benefits that enhance your overall heating experience. Opting for kiln-dried hardwood logs certified by this scheme will ensure a cleaner, more efficient burning process, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to maximise their home heating while minimising environmental impact.
