What is Kiln Dried Firewood?
Those who have experienced firewood that is ‘kiln dried’ understand it as the finest grade of finished firewood energy. This wood has been treated in a dehumidifying heating apparatus called a ‘kiln’. A firewood kiln dries wet wood (green, seasoned) to dry wood (kiln dried) allowing it to burn hotter, brighter, cleaner and longer. Hardwood Bros kiln dried carries a USDA/APHIS certification qualifying them all as disease, pest mold, and mildew free. Best of all our kiln dried is so clean and easy to light… it really is the perfect fire experience.
Is kiln-dried firewood better than seasoned firewood?
Of course. Kiln-dried firewood burns 35% more efficiently than “green” or “seasoned” wood allowing you to burn less wood and get more fire. The kiln treatment process breaks the composition of the firewood material protecting them from moisture penetration… forever.
A major benefit of kiln-dried firewood is that the drying process kills all disease and pests.
What kind of wood do you use in your kiln-dried firewood?
Hardwoods ONLY.
Northeast hardwood species blend; Ash, beech, hickory, maple, cherry
Where does your kiln-dried firewood come from?
Our ability to produce industry leading KD firewood relies on diligence and perfection in every stage of our process. From forest to burning apparatus, our standards exceed that of any regional competitor. The procurement process begins in the Northeastern forest where small diameter logs are inspected by foresters then harvested by loggers to be moved to our manufacturing facilities. Native arbor is all northeast hardwoods in different species including; ash, beech, hickory, maple, cherry
Small diameter logs are then processed and cut to 16” length and then triple split to achieve ideal width dimensions.
Split hardwoods are then moved into our kilns where they endure a 48 hour forced hot air treatment (longest heat treatment in industry) wicking the moisture content down to our guaranteed 8%-18% through the core. All wood is tested with moisture readers.
Firewood is then again handsorted where all substandard waste material is discarded.
The aforementioned process allows us to produce the cleanest, driest, hottest burning firewood in industry.
