When it comes to firewood, not all logs are created equal. Many homeowners assume that seasoned wood—the kind left outdoors to air-dry for months—is the standard choice for backyard fire pits, fireplaces, or wood stoves. But there’s a better option: kiln-dried firewood. At Campfire Woodfuel, we kiln-dry all of our firewood, and here’s why that makes a huge difference. Don’t just take our word for it. See what our customers have to say.
What Is Seasoned Firewood?
Seasoned wood is wood that’s been cut, split, and left to dry naturally outdoors. Depending on the type of wood, the climate, and how it’s stored, it can take 6–12 months for the moisture content to drop low enough to burn. Even after all that time, seasoned wood often still holds too much water, especially if it’s been exposed to rain or humidity.
Common problems with seasoned firewood:
Takes longer to ignite
Produces more smoke and soot
Burns unevenly and less efficiently
Can harbor pests, mold, and fungi
What Is Kiln-Dried Firewood?
Kiln-dried wood goes through a controlled drying process in a high-temperature kiln. This process removes excess moisture in just a few days, rather than waiting months. The result is clean, consistent, and high-quality firewood with a much lower moisture content (typically below 20%).
The kiln-drying process ensures:
Faster, easier lighting
A hotter, more efficient burn
Dramatically less smoke and creosote buildup
Benefits of Kiln-Dried Firewood Over Seasoned
1. Easy to Light
Kiln-dried firewood ignites quickly, making it perfect for starting a fire without hassle. No newspaper mountains or lighter fluid required.
2. Cleaner, Hotter Burn
Because it has less moisture, kiln-dried wood burns hotter and longer. You’ll enjoy a steady, efficient fire that gives off more heat with fewer logs.
3. Minimal Smoke
Moisture-heavy seasoned wood creates thick smoke that can be irritating and harmful. Kiln-dried wood produces significantly less smoke, keeping the air cleaner for your family and neighbors.
4. Pest-Free and Mold-Free
The high heat of the kiln kills off insects, larvae, mold, and fungus that can live in seasoned wood. That means you can store kiln-dried firewood indoors or in your garage without worrying about bringing pests inside.
5. Year-Round Reliability
No matter the season or the weather, kiln-dried firewood is always ready to burn. You don’t have to wait months or worry if your logs have been sitting in damp conditions.
