Kiln Dried Log Crate – Ash Hardwood for Serious Firewood Stocking
For people who burn logs regularly, buying firewood a few bags at a time soon becomes inconvenient. This Kiln Dried Log Crate is designed for the opposite approach: a substantial supply of ash hardwood delivered in one palletised order, with three crate sizes to suit everything from regular stove use to serious seasonal stocking.
Every crate contains kiln dried ash logs rather than a mixed hardwood selection, giving you a consistent supply of the same firewood species from one end of the crate to the other.
A Crate Dedicated to Kiln Dried Ash Logs
Ash has long been a popular hardwood for domestic fires, particularly with customers who want dependable firewood for frequent use.
These logs are responsibly sourced from Eastern European woodland, cut to approximately 25cm long and kiln dried to below 20% moisture. The firewood is Woodsure Ready to Burn certified, so it arrives ready for use without further seasoning.
If you specifically want to buy a crate of kiln dried ash logs rather than a mixed hardwood load, this is the product to choose.
Three Ash Log Crate Sizes – Including Extra Large
One of the biggest advantages of this particular product is the amount of choice.
| Crate Size | Internal Dimensions | Stacked Volume | Loose Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
The Medium crate makes sense if you want the advantages of buying an ash log crate but have more limited storage space.
The Large crate steps things up considerably, providing 1.37m³ of stacked firewood and reducing how frequently a regular stove user needs to reorder.
The Extra Large crate is the real stock-up option. At 1.84m³ stacked volume, it is aimed at customers with plenty of suitable storage who would rather take one substantial delivery than keep ordering smaller quantities throughout the season.
Crate dimensions can vary slightly as the timber structure naturally expands and contracts.

Stacked Volume Matters When Comparing Firewood
Firewood volumes can be surprisingly difficult to compare.
Loose-filled bags contain considerable gaps between individual logs. A crate allows the firewood to be stacked much more closely together, which is why we show both the internal loose volume and the actual stacked volume for every size.
For example, the Extra Large ash crate has an internal loose volume of 3.08m³ but contains approximately 1.84m³ of stacked firewood.
If you’re comparing this crate with bulk bags, barrow bags or smaller log products, use our firewood volume comparison chart rather than comparing the headline container sizes alone.
Ash or Birch – Which Log Crate Should You Choose?
Both are hardwood firewood options, but there is no reason every customer should automatically choose the same species.
Our birch log crate is worth considering if you particularly value easy lighting and an attractive, lively flame.
This ash crate is particularly well suited to customers who specifically want an ash-only firewood supply, especially regular burners looking for a larger quantity. It also has the advantage of an Extra Large crate option, giving high-use customers considerably more capacity in a single order.
If you are undecided, comparing the two species and the amount of storage space you have is more useful than simply choosing the cheapest crate.
Designed for Customers Who Burn Firewood Regularly
Buying an ash log crate is quite different from ordering ten small bags.
Small bags make sense for occasional fires, limited storage or customers who only want a small quantity at one time.
A crate makes more sense when you already know you will use the logs. You receive a much larger quantity in one delivery, avoid repeatedly ordering small batches and can build up a proper supply before colder weather arrives.
The wooden crate also keeps the firewood neatly contained when it reaches you, although kiln dried logs should still be stored appropriately and protected from prolonged exposure to wet weather.
Pallet Delivery – Check Your Access Before Ordering
Your crate of kiln dried ash firewood arrives as a palletised delivery using a tail-lift vehicle.
Weekday mainland UK delivery is free for this product and you can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout. Saturday delivery is also available for an additional charge.
Because these are substantial crates of firewood, it is worth checking the full pallet delivery information before ordering if your property has particularly restricted vehicle access.
There is no need to be home to accept the delivery provided the order can be safely left on private property.
Is This Ash Log Crate Right for You?
Choose this product if you want a dedicated supply of kiln dried ash logs, already cut, dried and stacked into a substantial crate rather than supplied as numerous small bags.
Choose the Medium size when storage is the limiting factor.
Move up to the Large crate when you burn regularly and want a more substantial supply.
Choose the Extra Large crate when you have the storage space and your priority is maximising the amount of ash firewood received in a single delivery.
Are these crates 100% ash logs?
The firewood supplied in this product is ash hardwood rather than a mixed hardwood selection.
How much firewood is in an ash log crate?
There are three options: 0.85m³ stacked in the Medium crate, 1.37m³ in the Large crate and 1.84m³ in the Extra Large crate. We publish both stacked and loose volumes so you can make a fair comparison with other firewood products.
Are the ash logs ready to burn?
Yes. The logs are kiln dried to below 20% moisture and are Woodsure Ready to Burn certified.
Which ash crate offers the largest quantity?
The Extra Large is the largest option, holding approximately 1.84m³ of stacked logs within a crate with an internal loose volume of 3.08m³.
What size are the logs?
The logs are approximately 25cm (9¾”) long, with an approximate diameter of 5–15cm (2–6″) at the widest point. Natural variation of around ±10% should be expected.
Do I need to order a whole crate?
Yes. This product is specifically intended for customers wanting to buy ash firewood in crate quantities. If you need a smaller amount, compare our smaller bagged firewood options instead.
Choose your crate size, book your delivery day and have a substantial supply of kiln dried ash firewood delivered directly to your property.
