Seasoned Hardwood Logs

SHARE

Seasoned logs are harvested wood with the moisture content reduced to 20% in order to increase their combustion potential. In order to make sure that the reduced moisture content is preserved, storage needs to be in a covered ventilated area. Seasoned logs can be of hardwood or softwood but the heat output of hardwood by volume is roughly twice that of softwood.
