Homra Logs

Our logs are grown and harvested locally in Northern Ireland and we kiln-dry them not just to a shallow depth of one or two centimetres but right down to the core. This enables us to guarantee that, throughout the burn, they'll give the hotter, cleaner and longer-lasting output you should expect from genuine premium firewood. People who've run a wood-burning stove for any length of time soon realise what an amazing difference the quality of the fuel - particularly its moisture content - can make to comfort and economy.

Any water in the timber has to evaporate before the wood will combust and this will reduce the net energy released as useful heat - as opposed to steam going up the chimney. Logs that aren't dry will result in a fire that smoulders and creates lots of tars and smoke. These tars can be corrosive, potentially damaging the lining of your flue and increasing the danger of a chimney fire. Wet logs will tend to blacken glass in stoves even if it's been designed to keep clean. Dry logs can have approximately twice the CV of green logs, so always buy it dry - preferably kiln-dry - or buy green logs and take the time to season them yourself.
