Many people are turning to log burners and open fires as a way to reduce heating bills whilst at the same time being kinder to the environment. Not everybody realises how important it is to store their logs properly. Seasoned logs dry out in a log store to give a cleaner and more efficient burn. For example, wood burning stoves ideally need wood with a moisture content below 25% otherwise they can lose as much as 80% of their efficiency in terms of heat generation. Wood with a high moisture content also gives off much higher levels of smoke pollution which is more damaging to the environment and also reduces the life expectancy of your flue.
