Burn characteristics
Seasoned hardwood logs provide a steady, reliable heat that is ideal for a range of fire-cooking applications. They burn with moderate intensity and offer a long burn time, allowing for consistent temperature maintenance over several hours. Ash production is generally low to moderate, which helps keep your grill clean and reduces the need for frequent ash removal. When used in a grill or fire pit, these logs maintain a stable ember bed that supports both direct and indirect cooking methods effectively.
Storage
To maintain the quality of seasoned hardwood logs, store them in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct moisture. Keeping the logs off the ground on a raised platform or pallet will prevent dampness and promote air circulation. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or sealed containers as this can trap moisture and lead to mould or rot. Properly stored logs will remain dry and ready to burn efficiently for months.
Safety notes
When handling seasoned hardwood logs, always ensure they are fully dry before use to avoid excessive smoke and flare-ups. Store logs away from any sources of ignition and keep them out of reach of children and pets. When burning, never leave the fire unattended and always have a method to extinguish flames nearby, such as water or a fire extinguisher. Dispose of ashes safely once completely cooled to prevent accidental fires.
