Why Beech Builders Bags Are a Premium Choice
- Exceptional Heat Output
Beech boasts a high BTU rating (approx. 27.5), meaning hotter fires and better fuel efficiency compared to softer woods.
- Long Burn Time
Dense and slow-burning—ideal for overnight heat or extended use in log burners and stoves.
- Easy to Light & Use
Despite its density, kiln drying makes beech logs easy to ignite and maintain a steady flame.
- Clean Combustion
Low moisture (under 20%) = minimal smoke, reduced creosote, and cleaner stove glass.
- Sustainable & Certified
Responsibly sourced from British woodlands, FSC® certified, and Woodsure Ready to Burn.
- Bulk Convenience
Builders bags offer excellent value for high-volume users—neatly packed, stackable, and easy to store.
- Versatile Use
Perfect for wood burners, multi-fuel stoves, pizza ovens, chimineas, and fire pits.

Frequently asked questions about firewood
1. What’s the difference between kiln dried and seasoned logs?
Kiln dried logs are dried in controlled conditions to below 20% moisture, making them cleaner-burning and more efficient than traditionally seasoned logs.
2. Which wood species are best for burning?
Hardwoods like ash, birch, oak, and beech burn hotter and longer. Softwoods ignite easily but burn faster—better for kindling or mild heat.
3. How dry should firewood be?
According to Defra’s Ready to Burn standard, firewood should have less than 20% moisture. Kiln dried logs often go below 10% for optimal performance.
4. Can I store kiln dried logs outside?
Yes, as long as they’re covered and ventilated. A log store or shed works well to prevent damp and mould.
5. How much firewood do I need for winter?
- Light use: ~1–1.5m³
- Moderate use: ~2–3m³
- Heavy use: ~4–6m³
Bulk buying often offers better value.
6. Are kiln dried logs eco-friendly?
Yes—especially when sustainably sourced. They burn more efficiently, reducing emissions and creosote buildup.
7. Can I burn firewood in a pizza oven or BBQ hut?
Absolutely. Kiln dried hardwoods like oak and beech are ideal for high-heat cooking applications.
8. What’s the best way to start a fire with logs?
Use kiln dried kindling and firelighters in a top-down method for clean ignition and airflow.
Why our wood is different from local suppliers
More often than not the local made firewood is either fresh or seasoned wood. Fresh wood can hold up to 60% moisture (water) depending on the time of year and seasoned can mean anything from 60% moisture down. For wood to be seasoned to a moisture of 20% or less can take anything up to 3 years kept in a dry building. All of our logs are dried in specialised kilns and are all less than 20% in moisture content, usually around 15%
Wet wood or wood containing a high moisture does not burn properly or even at all, is very difficult to light, does not burn very hot and can soot or tar wood burners or flues, causing very expensive repairs and chimney fires. Wet or very damp wood also causes dark smoke and extra pollution to the atmosphere. Wood burning heating systems can be very expensive to buy. The only wood guaranteed to burn correctly is kiln dried hardwood.
