we had a customer used to put his logs in a wheelbarrow of water for 2-3 days before he burned them. had another who tried kiln dried they cost 30-40% more to buy and he couldn't see any difference in heat and they also burned too fast so refuses to buy them again.

Yes, that seems the case.

 

It appears that some retailers who signed up for the higher tariff of 8.8p/kWh before 1st July 2014 can make kiln drying work, even though there will inevitably be those who complain that it burns too quickly.
