Wood density depends on how tightly packed the fibres of the wood are. In simple terms, its is the mass (weight) of cubic centimetre (g/cm³). Denser woods like oak and ash are heavier and contain more energy per log, so they burn hotter and for longer than lighter, less dense woods such as pine or spruce.

• Longer Burn Time: Dense woods burn more slowly, giving you a longer-lasting fire and sustained warmth.
• Higher Heat Output: With more tightly packed fibres, dense woods have a greater energy content per log and deliver consistent, high heat.
• Cleaner Burn: Dense, dry logs produce less smoke and ash, making them better for the environment and easier to clean up.
• Better Value: Because they burn hotter for longer, dense logs offer more heat for your money.

Density is key, but it isn’t the only factor in firewood quality - moisture content is equally important. Even the densest log won’t burn efficiently if it’s too wet. That’s why all our kiln dried and sun dried logs are dried to below 20% moisture and certified Ready to Burn, guaranteeing a clean, efficient burn every time.

Choosing the right firewood can transform your home heating - making it warmer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly. Why settle for less? At White Horse Energy, our kiln dried oak, ash, birch and premium grade logs are chosen for their superior density and burn quality and expertly dried for optimal performance. Our firewood is designed to give you the ultimate home heating experience - perfect for everything from wood burners to fire pits.
