Kiln Dried Ash Logs – The Perfect Balance of Heat & Ease of Use
If you’re looking for a firewood option that offers excellent heat output, easy ignition, and a clean burn, kiln dried ash logs are an outstanding choice.
As a high-quality hardwood, ash provides a steady, long-lasting flame with minimal smoke and residue—making it perfect for wood-burning stoves, open fires, and pizza ovens.
With low moisture content achieved through the kiln drying process, ash logs light effortlessly and produce a consistent, controlled heat that keeps your home warm and cozy.
Unlike softer woods that burn too quickly or inefficiently, ash strikes the perfect balance between burn time and high heat output. Our kiln dried ash logs are Woodsure Approved and Ready to Burn, ensuring they meet the highest standards for eco-friendly firewood and comply with government regulations.
What is Ash?
Ash is a versatile hardwood tree from the Fraxinus genus, commonly found across Europe and North America.
Known for its toughness and elasticity, ash is traditionally used in furniture, tool handles, and sports equipment due to its shock-absorbing properties.
As firewood, ash is one of the best hardwoods because: It burns with a strong, consistent flame and minimal smoke It has a high energy content, producing significant heat output per log It dries quickly compared to other hardwoods, making it ready to burn sooner.
Unlike softer woods such as pine, which burn erratically and require constant replenishing, ash burns evenly and efficiently, providing long-lasting warmth without excessive smoke or tar buildup.
Why are Ash Logs the Best Kiln Dried Logs?
Ash is one of the most sought-after firewoods due to its unique burning characteristics. It is widely regarded as the perfect balance between oak and birch—burning hotter and faster than oak but lasting longer than birch.
Some key benefits of kiln dried ash firewood include:
Easy to Light – Unlike some dense hardwoods that require high initial temperatures, ash logs ignite quickly and easily, making fire-starting effortless.
Long Burn Time – Ash burns steadily and efficiently, ensuring sustained warmth with fewer logs needed.
Minimal Smoke & Residue – With low moisture content, kiln dried ash produces a clean, high-energy burn that minimizes soot, tar, and creosote buildup—safer for your chimney and stove.
Low moisture content - compared with seasoned firewood, kiln dried ash firewood has an average moisture content of less than 20% which means you'll get a consistent high heat output when you burn ash.
We measure the internal moisture content of our logs. Ash logs are perfect for home heating, especially in log burners and open fireplaces, where a reliable, steady bright flame is essential and they are a great alternative seasoned firewood providing exceptional heat.
Is Ash Firewood a Sustainable Fuel Source?
Absolutely! Our kiln dried ash firewood comes from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that every tree harvested is replaced through sustainable forestry practices.
By choosing Woodsure Approved firewood, you’re: Lowering your carbon footprint – Ash is a carbon-neutral fuel, meaning the CO₂ it releases when burned is balanced by the CO₂ absorbed during its lifetime.
Protecting biodiversity – Sustainably managed ash forests provide crucial habitats for wildlife. Choosing an eco-friendly heating option – Kiln dried ash burns cleaner and more efficiently, reducing indoor and outdoor air pollution.
If you want an environmentally responsible fuel option with high efficiency and superior performance, kiln dried ash logs are an excellent choice.
Are Kiln Dried Ash Logs Good Value for Money?
Yes! While some may assume that hardwood firewood is more expensive, when you factor in burn time, heat output, and efficiency, ash logs offer exceptional value.
High Energy Output Per Log
Because ash is a dense hardwood, each log contains more stored energy, ensuring longer-lasting, high-heat burns. This means fewer logs are needed to maintain warmth, saving you money in the long run.
Slow-Burning Efficiency
Softwoods burn fast and require constant topping up, whereas ash logs burn steadily and efficiently. This makes them ideal for long fires in wood-burning stoves, reducing the hassle of frequent refueling.
Minimal Smoke and Ash
Low-quality firewood with high moisture content produces excess smoke and soot, leading to dirty stoves and higher chimney maintenance costs. Kiln dried ash burns cleanly, leaving behind minimal ash, which means less cleaning and maintenance for your fireplace or stove.
Storing
Always store kiln dried logs in a raised log store ensuring your logs do not come into contact with moist ground. We always recommend stacking with air gaps so that your kiln dried ash hardwood logs stay dry during storage. With the proper storage you will continue to get excellent value out of your kiln dried logs long after they have been delivered.
