Why Choose Kiln Dried Oak Logs?

Oak is one of the most recognised firewood species in the UK. Its dense structure makes it particularly useful once a fire is established, helping to create dependable heat and a steadier burn than many faster-burning woods.

Moisture content is equally important. Kiln drying reduces the moisture within the logs to below 20%, helping the wood:

• Ignite more readily than wet or inadequately seasoned firewood
• Reach an efficient burning temperature more quickly
• Produce less unnecessary smoke when burned correctly
• Provide more useful heat from the fuel
• Arrive ready for use without requiring further seasoning

Oak may take slightly more patience to establish than a readily burning wood such as birch. This is one reason mixed-hardwood combinations work so well: birch or ash can help establish the fire, while denser oak is useful for maintaining a steadier burn once a suitable flame and ember bed have developed.

Oak & Birch Kiln Dried Log Crates

The Oak & Birch Kiln Dried Log Crate combines two hardwoods with complementary burning characteristics.

Birch catches readily and produces an attractive, lively flame. Denser oak provides a useful contrast once the fire is established, making the combination particularly appealing to regular stove users who enjoy the characteristics of both species.

The Oak & Birch crate is available in three sizes:

Crate size	Internal dimensions	Stacked volume	Approximate loose-volume equivalent
Medium	115 × 108 × 69cm	0.85m³	1.42m³
Large	115 × 108 × 111cm	1.37m³	2.29m³
Extra Large	115 × 108 × 149cm	1.84m³	3.08m³

All three options have approximately the same footprint, with the height increasing according to the amount of firewood supplied.

The Medium crate may suit regular users with more limited storage. The Large and Extra Large options provide a more substantial supply for households that burn firewood frequently during colder weather.

Ash & Oak Kiln Dried Log Crates

The Medium Ash & Oak Log Crate combines readily burning ash with dense oak.

Ash is a dependable all-round firewood that generally establishes more readily than oak. Once the fire is burning well, oak can help maintain a steadier and more sustained fire.

The Medium crate contains approximately 0.85m³ of stacked firewood, equivalent to around 1.42m³ when described as loose volume. It can suit regular wood burners who want a substantial hardwood supply without committing to the height of a Large or Extra Large crate.

Availability can vary, so check the product grid above for the current stock status.

What Will Your Oak Log Crate Contain?

The products currently displayed on this page contain oak within a mixed-hardwood supply rather than being oak-only crates.

The individual product specifications include:

• Species: Oak & Birch or Ash & Oak
• Origin: Responsibly sourced from Eastern European woodland
• Typical log length: Approximately 25cm or 9¾”, with a ±10% tolerance
• Typical log diameter: Approximately 5–15cm at the widest point, with a ±10% tolerance
• Moisture content: Below 20%
• Certification: Woodsure Ready to Burn
• Packaging: Logs neatly stacked inside a wooden crate
• Delivery format: Palletised delivery
• Included: Weatherproof crate topper

Crate dimensions and individual log sizes can vary slightly because timber and natural firewood are not manufactured to exact uniform measurements.

Check the individual product listing before ordering, particularly if species mix, log dimensions, storage space or crate size is important to you.

Kiln Dried Oak Logs for Wood Burners and Stoves

Properly kiln dried oak firewood can be used in suitable wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel appliances and open fires.

The approximately 25cm log length fits many standard UK domestic appliances, but stove dimensions vary. Always check the maximum permitted log dimensions and fuel type specified by your appliance manufacturer. Our log size guide can help you compare the options available across the FirewoodFund range.

When lighting the fire, begin with dry kindling and suitable firelighters. Add smaller pieces of firewood first and allow a stable flame and ember bed to form before introducing denser oak logs.

Oak is not guaranteed to burn for a fixed length of time. The result depends on:

• The size and design of your appliance
• Airflow settings
• Chimney draw
• The amount of fuel loaded
• Log diameter
• The condition of the ember bed
• How frequently the appliance is refuelled

Used correctly, oak’s density makes it a popular choice for people who want a gradual and dependable fire once the appliance is operating efficiently.

What Makes Our Oak Firewood Different?

FirewoodFund’s current oak range is designed around mixed-hardwood crates rather than an oak-only product.

This gives you the characteristics of two different hardwood species within the same order:

• Oak provides dense firewood suited to maintaining an established fire.
• Birch catches readily and creates an attractive, lively flame.
• Ash offers a useful balance of relatively easy ignition and steady burning.

The crate format also gives regular users a substantial quantity of neatly stacked kiln dried hardwood logs in one palletised delivery.

If receiving only one named species is important to you, check the product description carefully before ordering. FirewoodFund also offers dedicated ash and birch products elsewhere within the range.

Is a Crate of Oak Logs Right for You?

A crate of kiln dried oak firewood generally makes the most sense when you:

• Use your stove or fire regularly
• Want to reduce how frequently you reorder
• Have sufficient dry and ventilated storage
• Prefer logs supplied neatly stacked
• Want to choose from clearly stated stacked volumes
• Have suitable access for a palletised delivery

If you only light occasional fires or have limited storage, smaller bags or boxes may be easier to move and store.

You can use our firewood volume comparison chart to compare crates with bulk bags, barrow bags and smaller packaged products.

Oak Firewood Delivery to Your Home

The oak hardwood crates displayed above qualify for free bookable weekday delivery to most UK mainland addresses. You can choose from the available delivery dates during checkout, while Saturday delivery is available for an additional charge.

Each crate is delivered on a pallet using a tail-lift vehicle. The pallet is then moved using a manual pallet truck where safe access and suitable ground conditions allow.

Pallet delivery is generally kerbside. Pallet trucks cannot normally move a loaded crate across:

• Gravel
• Grass
• Soft ground
• Steps or raised kerbs
• Steep slopes
• Severely uneven surfaces

Final placement cannot be guaranteed because it depends on vehicle access, ground conditions and the driver’s safety assessment.

Please read the full kiln dried log delivery information before ordering, particularly if your address has a narrow road, restricted access or an unsuitable unloading surface.

How to Store Kiln Dried Oak Logs

Plan your storage before selecting a crate size. Kiln dried firewood should be protected from prolonged rain and persistent damp after delivery.

Store your logs:

• Raised away from wet ground
• Beneath a suitable roof or top cover
• With ventilation around the sides
• Away from standing water
• In a secure and stable stack

The included weatherproof crate topper provides additional protection to the top of the crate, but it is not a substitute for suitable long-term storage.

Avoid completely sealing the logs in plastic because trapped condensation can expose the firewood to moisture. A covered, well-ventilated log store, shed or suitable garage is generally the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions – Oak Logs

Are oak logs good for burning?

Yes. Oak is a dense hardwood that is well suited to maintaining a steady and sustained fire once a suitable flame and ember bed have developed.

When properly kiln dried below 20% moisture, oak burns more efficiently and with less unnecessary smoke than green or inadequately seasoned wood. It can take slightly longer to establish than more readily burning species such as birch, which is why Oak & Birch can be a particularly practical combination.

Learn more about selecting suitable firewood for your appliance.

Can you burn oak in a log burner?

Yes. Properly dried oak can be burned in a suitable log burner or wood-burning stove.

Oak’s density makes it useful for maintaining an established fire, although it may take longer to ignite than birch or ash. Start with dry kindling and smaller pieces of firewood, then add oak once a stable flame and ember bed have formed.

Always check that the log dimensions and fuel type are suitable for your particular appliance.

How much are oak logs worth?

The price of oak logs depends on their moisture content, quantity, origin, dimensions, packaging and whether the product contains only oak or a mixture of hardwood species.

When comparing oak logs for sale, consider the actual stacked volume of firewood, delivery costs and product specification rather than relying solely on the headline price.

The current prices for FirewoodFund’s Oak & Birch and Ash & Oak products are displayed in the product grid above.

How much does an oak log weigh?

There is no single fixed weight for an oak log. Weight varies according to its length, diameter, density and moisture content.

Freshly cut green oak contains considerably more moisture and can weigh much more than the same piece after drying. Even within one kiln dried crate, natural variation in shape and diameter means individual logs will not all weigh the same.

FirewoodFund’s crate products are therefore described by stacked cubic volume rather than by a guaranteed number or weight of individual logs.

How to identify oak logs?

Oak logs commonly have rough, deeply ridged bark and a coarse, open grain. The cut ends may show visible growth rings and lighter rays extending from the centre.

Colour and appearance can vary according to the particular oak species, age of the wood, drying process and storage conditions. Because the products on this page contain mixed hardwood, refer to the individual product specification rather than attempting to identify every piece by appearance alone.

How to split oak logs?

Oak is dense and fibrous, so splitting larger pieces requires suitable equipment, a stable working area and appropriate safety precautions.

Use a purpose-made splitting axe, maul or hydraulic log splitter and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Aim along the grain or towards an existing crack, and never attempt to split timber on an unstable surface.

The FirewoodFund logs supplied in the products above arrive already cut and split for firewood use.

What do oak logs look like?

Oak logs commonly have medium-to-dark bark with a rough and ridged texture. The split wood has a visible grain and may develop small cracks across the cut ends as it dries.

Appearance naturally varies between individual logs. The Oak & Birch and Ash & Oak crates shown above contain two hardwood species, so not every piece will have exactly the same colour, bark or grain pattern.

Where to buy oak logs?

Oak logs can be purchased from specialist firewood suppliers, local merchants and online retailers.

When comparing suppliers, check the moisture content, species, product volume, log dimensions, delivery charge and whether the product contains only oak or a mixed-hardwood selection.

FirewoodFund allows you to buy kiln dried oak logs online as part of an Oak & Birch or Ash & Oak crate, with delivery available to most UK mainland addresses.

Are the products on this page made entirely from oak?

No. FirewoodFund currently supplies oak within Oak & Birch and Ash & Oak mixed-hardwood crates.

Each product contains genuine kiln dried oak, but neither should be described as an oak-only crate. The exact species mix is stated on the individual product page.

Are these kiln dried oak logs Ready to Burn?

Yes. The products displayed on this page are kiln dried below 20% moisture and supplied as Woodsure Ready to Burn certified firewood.

They do not require further seasoning, although they must be stored correctly after delivery to protect them from rain and persistent damp.

What size are the oak logs?

The logs are typically around 25cm or 9¾” long and approximately 5–15cm in diameter at the widest point. A ±10% tolerance applies because natural firewood cannot be cut into completely uniform pieces.

Check the dimensions against your appliance before ordering.

Which oak log crate size should I choose?

Consider how frequently you use your fire and how much dry storage space you have available.

The Medium crate contains approximately 0.85m³ stacked, the Large approximately 1.37m³ and the Extra Large approximately 1.84m³. Available sizes vary between the Oak & Birch and Ash & Oak products.

Can I choose when my oak logs are delivered?

Yes. You can select from the available weekday delivery dates during checkout. Saturday delivery is available for an additional charge.

Deliveries normally take place between 9am and 6pm, although an exact arrival time cannot be guaranteed.

Is delivery free?

Free weekday pallet delivery is included for the crate products shown above to most UK mainland addresses.

Additional charges apply for Saturday delivery and may apply to non-mainland or remote destinations. Check the delivery information before ordering.

Can kiln dried oak logs be stored outside?

Yes, provided they are kept off the ground, protected from direct rain and allowed to ventilate.

A roofed log store with open or slatted sides is ideal. Avoid completely wrapping the crate in plastic because this can trap condensation and expose the logs to moisture.

How long do kiln dried oak logs burn?

A fixed burn time cannot be guaranteed. It depends on the size of the log, airflow, appliance efficiency, chimney draw, fuel load and how the fire is operated.

Oak is a dense hardwood and is generally selected for a gradual, steady fire once a suitable ember bed has been established.
