Kiln Dried Firewood

The Kiln-Dried Firewood Advantages

Why Choose Kiln-Dried Firewood?

Kiln-dried firewood is safer, cleaner, and burns hotter than traditional seasoned wood. Here’s why more Lowcountry homeowners choose ArborNature Firewood:

There is no standard for seasoned firewood. Generally, well seasoned firewood has a moisture content of about 30%, however that varies upward significantly from dealer to dealer, and especially well into firewood season as many dealers start to sell “less seasoned” wood.

  • The firewood goes directly from our state of the art Firewood Processor and Tumbler cleaning process directly into baskets that are inserted into one of our firewood kilns.
  • The moisture extraction is computer monitored and controlled, and removes over 1,000 pounds of water per cord from the firewood.
  • The computer controls when moisture is exhausted from the Kiln to maximize drying, and measures the internal temperature of the wood to ensure compliance with USDA certification requirements.

  • Compliance with the USDA certification requirements insures that bugs, larva and mold are killed in the kiln drying process making the firewood safe to store in your garage, porch, deck or home if you desire.
  • Kiln Dried Firewood never touches the ground after full sized logs are loaded onto our Firewood Processor. The wood goes directly from the splitting process into the kilns, and then is stored inside our warehouse until ready for shipping.
  • Moreover, no Kiln Dried Firewood is shipped more than thirty days after splitting; therefore it is clean, dry and ready to burn when you receive it.

  • Much safer for your chimney – Kiln Dried Firewood burns cleaner with less smoke, ash and creosote buildup in your chimney.
  • Easy to start because the wood is dry – you’ll love that!
  • Higher BTU (heat) output because heat is not being wasted to boil out water – we’ve all heard the hissing sound of burning firewood that was wet.

  • Seasoning firewood to the most desirable moisture content means leaving it out in the open for six to twelve months. In the south, we have a lot more rain and higher humidity than “Up North”.
  • These conditions are ripe for further insect infestations, and growth of mold as the wood seasons. “Up North” where it gets well below freezing for a large part of the winter, many insects are killed or their spread slowed down – that does not happen in our area.
