Kiln-Dried to Perfection

The UK’s finest Ready to Burn ash logs. Lekto’s oak logs are dried in industrial kilns for a very long time. This results in a product that is very easy to light and burns far more efficiently than competing offerings.

The main benefits of Lekto kiln-dried ash logs:

• Supreme ease of lighting and efficient heat output.
• Clean burning characteristics reduce soot/tar buildup in your flue.
• A consistent log length ensures a perfect fit in all log burners, open fires, chimineas, and multi-fuel stoves. 
• Chemical-free and safe to cook on.
• As the kiln-drying process kills off all pests and fungi, our ash logs are 100% safe to store indoors and can be used as decoration.

1. Arrange your wood kindling in a criss-cross formation. Put a firelighter at the centre of the formation.
2. Light the firelighter and wait for the kindling to catch fire.
3. Once the kindling is burning nicely, you can add the first logs. Place them at a vertical angle with enough room for air to pass through between them.
4. Once the logs are burning, adjust the air intake to your desired levels.

Proper long-term storage of kiln-dried ash logs is essential to ensure they maintain their dryness levels and burning characteristics. Here are some tips for storing your kiln-dried logs properly:

Monitor the Moisture Content of Your Logs

Burning wet logs is harmful to both your health and the environment. To make sure that your kiln-dried logs are safe to use after a long period of storage, we recommend using a wood moisture meter. A simple meter can be bought for as little as £25 and it will be more than enough for your household needs. Select several logs from your pile and measure their moisture to make sure your firewood remains under the recommended 20%.

Choose the Right Storage Location

Your kiln-dried logs should always be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area that is protected from the elements. Ideally, this should be a wood shed or a dry, ventilated garage.

Stack Your Logs Properly

Lekto’s logs are delivered to you in durable cardboard packaging that can be stacked on top of one another. However, if you wish to take them out of their packaging to better utilise the limited space you have, it’s important to ensure they are stacked in rows, with each row offset slightly from the one below it. This allows air to circulate around the logs. This helps them keep their dryness levels for as long as possible and prevents moisture buildup.

Ensure Proper Air Circulation

Good airflow is critical for long-term log storage. You need to make sure there is enough space to allow air to circulate freely between the rows of logs. Most users eyeball it, which is a valid way of doing things, but others will use specialised wood spacers.

Keep the Logs Away From the Ground

Kiln-dried logs should be kept off the ground to avoid having them absorb and retain moisture. If you ordered your logs in bulk, stack your logs on top of your pallet. If you haven’t, use bricks, cinder blocks, or whatever else you have access to.

Cardboard eco-boxes: Our logs are delivered in 100% plastic-free cardboard boxes. These can be reused as packaging or makeshift tinder. Alternatively, they can be recycled alongside other cardboard.

Wood pallets: Our wood pallets can be reused or recycled at your local recycling centre.
