Wood density refers to how tightly packed the fibres of the wood are. It’s essentially the weight of the wood per unit volume, usually measured in grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³). Denser woods, such as oak and ash, are heavier and contain more energy per log. This means they burn hotter and for longer compared to lighter, less dense woods like pine or spruce.

• Longer Burn Time: Dense logs burn slower, giving you a steady, longer-lasting fire.
• Higher Heat Output: With more tightly packed fibers, dense woods store more energy, delivering consistent, high heat.
• Cleaner Burn: Denser, dry logs produce less smoke and ash.
• Better Value: Dense logs burn hotter for longer, offering more heat for your money.

While density matters, moisture content is just as important. Even the densest log won’t burn well if it’s too wet. That’s why all firewood is meticulously dried to below 20% moisture and certified Ready to Burn. This guarantees that it lights easily, burns efficiently and produces minimal smoke and ash.
