Imported kiln dry logs ?

[Woodworks]

Forget the wallies that sell crap firewood, they help keep the rest of us busy!

Crazy. Had a customer say to me, "why can I only burn kiln dried logs"

That's what the bloody stove installer said to her.....how utterly ridiculous.

 

From the other side of the fence we do prefer our users to use Kiln dried and usually ( but not always alas) they have an acceptable moisture level. I get called to look at stoves that wont burn or wont pull 2 or 3 times a month, usually its wet wood, occasionally to large a pieces of wood, sometimes both. I have never been called to look at a stove burning kiln dried products.

 

Remember the 45-25 generation by and large have no experience of building fires, cannot tell species of wood apart and have no idea what so ever how to tell if wood is dry and ready to burn. Most buy the cheapest crap they can get hold of the moan to the stove supplied when it does not burn.

I was wondering if anyone knew what's the situation is from a disease spread point of view in regards to importing firewood logs? E.g. Ash die back etc. Does kiln drying it stop the risk? Is this monitored etc??

[axehaircut]

With further thought I suppose only certain types of tree can be export-imported that are not kiln dried? Ash etc is non runner. Did I just answer my own question😳

Hi John,

 

We produce and export kd logs to UK for 5 years already, approx 30 loads per month goes directly to UK and Ireland.

Prices vary from 180 to 205 EUR for 2RM crate including delivery, it depends on where you are located in UK.

Hope that helps.

We've just took a delivery of kiln dried, imported wood from 'The real firewood company'...

 

Prices....

 

(Due to Brexit and the pound to euro exchange rate etc), we've paid 20% more on this load, this time....
