The importance of using seasoned logs in your wood stove
One of the most important things to remember when using a wood stove is to always use seasoned logs – cutting down trees in the forest and taking them home may seem like a good idea, but will cost more in the long run if you don’t store and season them (and most people don’t have room to do that)
Seasoned logs have been dried out for a period of time, typically six months or more. This drying process allows the logs to burn more efficiently and produce less smoke.
Unseasoned logs, (known as ‘green wood) are not fully dry and therefore will not burn as efficiently. The moisture in the wood releases vapour when burned, and this can include naturally occurring acids which will damage and erode the flue and chimney lining. The smoke produced can also be unpleasant and choking, and the logs won’t light easily or burn well, even outdoors.
Lekto’s seasoned logs will burn efficiently, are cost effective and can be delivered free of charge anywhere in the UK.
