Not all logs are created equal, and when it comes to getting the best heat, longest burn time, and most satisfying flames, hardwood logs are where the magic happens.
Hardwood comes from trees that shed their leaves each year, such as oak, ash, and birch. These logs are naturally dense, meaning they burn slower, hotter, and more efficiently than softwoods.
Below are some of the most popular hardwood logs and what makes each one a great option.
Oak
Oak is widely regarded as one of the best firewoods available. Its natural density allows it to burn slowly and steadily, providing strong, long-lasting heat with minimal smoke. Oak can keep a fire going for hours, making it perfect for long evenings by the fire or colder winter nights.
Not only does oak deliver warmth, but it also produces a consistent, visually appealing flame. All our oak logs are kiln-dried and Ready to Burn approved, so you can be confident in their quality and performance.
Key benefits:
Long burn time
High heat output
Minimal smoke
Best for: Cold nights, extended burns, log burners
Ash
Ash is one of the most versatile and reliable hardwoods. It burns steadily, producing consistent heat and bright, attractive flames. Its predictable burn pattern makes it ideal for log burners and open fires.
Kiln-dried and Ready to Burn approved, these ash logs deliver a clean, efficient burn with minimal smoke and maximum heat output from the moment they are lit.
