Kiln Dried Log Crate – The Best of Oak & Birch
Some fires are easy to start but disappear too quickly. Others settle into a steady burn but take more patience to get going. Our Kiln Dried Log Crate – Oak & Birch brings two popular hardwoods together, giving regular firewood users a versatile supply of logs in one neatly stacked crate.
Birch provides the lively, easy-burning side of the mix, while denser oak is well suited to settling a fire into a steadier burn. Instead of choosing one species or the other, you have both available whenever you light the stove.
And because the logs arrive as a palletised log crate, rather than dozens of individual bags, it is an excellent choice for homes that burn firewood frequently and would rather order a substantial supply at once.
Two Hardwoods, One Very Practical Log Crate
The advantage of an Oak & Birch mix becomes most obvious when you actually build a fire.
Birch is particularly useful when establishing the fire. It catches readily and produces an attractive, lively flame.
Oak is a dense hardwood and provides a useful contrast once the fire is established, making the combination particularly appealing to customers who enjoy the characteristics of both species.
You are not restricted to burning them in any particular order — simply use the mix in whatever way works best for your stove and the fire you want.
For customers considering either kiln dried oak logs or kiln dried birch logs, this crate removes the need to choose between the two.
Choose Your Crate Around Your Storage Space
There are three Oak & Birch log crate sizes, allowing you to balance storage space, firewood usage and how often you want to reorder.
| Crate size | Internal dimensions | Stacked volume | Approx. 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 |
Crate dimensions can vary slightly as the timber expands and contracts naturally with changing conditions.
If you use your stove regularly but have limited storage, the Medium crate offers the easiest starting point.
The Large crate increases the amount of firewood considerably without increasing the footprint of the pallet.
For households with the storage height available and a high level of firewood use, the Extra Large crate provides the largest supply and reduces the frequency with which you need to reorder.

Why Buy Crated Logs Instead of Small Bags?
A crate of kiln dried logs is primarily about convenience at scale.
If you only light an occasional fire, smaller bags can make perfect sense. But repeatedly buying small quantities becomes less convenient once your stove is being used several times a week.
A log crate gives you a substantial reserve of firewood in one delivery, with the logs already neatly stacked inside the crate.
That means fewer repeat orders, less individual packaging and a dedicated store of Ready to Burn firewood available whenever temperatures drop.
It also makes the amount you’re ordering easier to understand: rather than comparing numbers of nets or sacks, you can choose between clearly stated stacked volumes of 0.85m³, 1.37m³ or 1.84m³.
Oak & Birch Crate or Birch-Only Crate?
The choice comes down to how you prefer your firewood to behave.
Choose the Oak & Birch Log Crate if you:
- Want the characteristics of two hardwood species in one order
- Like having readily burning birch alongside denser oak
- Burn logs regularly enough to justify buying a substantial supply
- Want the option of an Extra Large 1.84m³ stacked crate
- Prefer one palletised delivery instead of repeatedly ordering small bags
If easy-burning birch is specifically what you want throughout the entire crate, our Birch Kiln Dried Log Crate is likely to be the better choice.
The two products therefore serve genuinely different customers rather than simply being alternative versions of the same crate.
Ready to Burn When You Need Them
Every crate contains kiln dried logs with a moisture content below 20% and is supplied as Woodsure Ready to Burn firewood.
The crate format also keeps the logs organised after delivery, while the included weatherproof topper provides additional protection to the top of the crate.
As with all firewood, the best long-term storage is somewhere dry and ventilated.

Your Oak & Birch kiln dried log crate is delivered on a pallet using a tail-lift vehicle for kerbside delivery.
