Description
Kiln dried Birch & Alder logs are a great choice for customers wanting to and easy to light and use fuel for their wood burner or chiminea.
Why Are Birch & Alder Logs Good For Burning?
The hardwoods Birch & Black Alder are similar softer hardwoods, meaning they are easy to light, get to temperature quickly and produce a high heat flame. Alder also produces a pleasant sweet aroma when burning. They are perfect for those looking for simplicity and ease when burning fire wood.
So how do you tell the difference between birch and alder? Birch has a silver/white bark and is a lighter wood in both weight and colour. While the black alder has a darker bark and an orange tint to the wood.
All firewood sold by Fitzpatrick Fuels is air dried before being split and put into a kiln.
It is kiln-dried for an average of seven days, with excess water drawn out to leave a moisture content rating of less than 20 per cent.
Are kiln dried logs environmentally-friendly?
Sourced responsibly, Fitzpatrick Fuels’ range of kiln dried firewood is approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – an international, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the sustainable management of forests.
How to use:
As always, before lighting a new fire, be sure that your stove has been cleaned from last use. Having too must ash residue in the stove restricts airflow, and makes it harder for you to light the fire.
To start, place a handful of kindling in the stove and add a couple of firelighters. Light the firelighters with a long match or lighter. From here, add another handful of kindling on top of the firelighters.
Once your kindling is burning with a flame, add 2 – 3 logs to the fire. Once the logs have caught fire, reduce the amount of airflow directed into the fire, this will make the logs burn for longer.
Add more logs as necessary.
