Kiln Dried firewood

The Kiln Dried wood is exactly as the name suggests. It is usually split firewood that runs in an oven loop to heat a 24-48-hour wood in a special indoor and isolated enclosure unit up to 250 degrees.

During the heating process, moisture from the firewood “pulled” is removed from the oven in the form of steam through a ventilation system.

Probes placed in random pieces of firewood are not only considered USDA certified pests and mold-resistant but to ensure that the wood reaches much lower moisture content optimal internal temperatures. makes it hot and clean ready to burn. Our baked dried parquet wood usually has an 8-12% humidity content, which makes the light easier to burn hot and clean. We are constantly working to provide you with the best quality and best quality and best customer service. Our selection of dried parquet wood in the oven does not contain the cleanest burning, insect and mold spray and ensures the hottest and most consistent burn.

Firewood btus

BTU refers to the British Thermal Unit and is a heating unit defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to a Fahrenheit rating. For the firewood products, this means that the higher the BTU, the warmer your burn wood embers.

True seasoned and baked dried wood gives more BTU than normal green wood due to lower moisture content, thus providing a product that is more easily illuminated and more consistent to burn. Regarding cooking or smoking, quality “hard” hard trees such as oak and hickory will ultimately provide you with the highest output of BTuEs that give you the longest and warmest burning embers.

Best Firewood Selection

The best wood product for all of you depends on your needs and goals. After understanding the various types of products and what their benefits and potential weaknesses are, choosing a type of wood is relatively simple.

In general, most of the firewood purchased and consumed in the United States is oak, hickory, poplar, maple, etc.

When people refer to “soft trees”, they typically refer to various pine species. Cooking wood or pine wood stoves or fireplaces is often not the best choice for wood. Due to its high resin content, pinewood will produce a bitter taste in foods that are “less than desirable”, often create more smoke than normal amounts, and ultimately cause an unsafe build-up of creosote (a chimney fire if not controlled trigger ) in a fireplace or chimney.

Oaks

White Oak and Red Oak are a kind of “hard” firewood and are some of the best burning wood available. Due to its dense nature, when properly cooked or dried when baked, they will give high amounts of BTOs, thus producing hot and continuously long-burning embers.

Oak burns extremely efficiently, i.e. produces maximum heat, but its dispersion is slow. We have both white and red oak products, so call us today to learn more and place your order.

Hickory

Hickory is another type of thick “hard” parquet that allows it to burn longer and warmer than some other hard tree species. Hickory provides an aromatic “sweet smoky flavor” to food and has long been a favorite for all varieties of barbecue cooking.

Hickory is a large wood in general for grilling and smoking, as well as fireplaces and campfires.

Mixed Hard Trees

Our mixed wood is the best choice for our best value in general for a high-quality product. It consists mainly of white oak, red oak, and hickory, while it has a mixture of poplar, gum, ash, and maple.

Our mixed parquet wood provides a very smooth, consistent and hot combustion fire because it is properly spiced or dried in the oven.

Special Cooking Wood

We, at ForestFire Firewood, provide various custom cooking boards and can make arrangements on request to meet almost every demand or need. Some of our special products are an oak/hickory blend where we are divided into an even smaller size for all hickory, pecan, cherries, all-white oak and even pizza ovens and small wood hot grills.
