Algorithmic drying is a data-driven method that controls wood moisture, airflow, and energy use in real time, ensuring consistent quality and predictable output in industrial firewood production. In traditional firewood production, drying has long been treated as a fixed, experience-based process. Set the temperature, wait for the cycle to finish, hope the result is “good… View Article
Environmental Impact of Kiln-Dried Firewood and Other Heating Fuels: What Is the Sustainable Choice?
In recent years, more people have been choosing heating solutions that not only warm their homes but also have a lower negative impact on the environment. Among the available options are kiln-dried firewood, gas, electricity, and heat pumps. But which of these solutions is truly sustainable – and which only appears to be so? Why… View Article
What Moisture Content Should High-Quality Firewood Have? The optimal moisture content of high-quality firewood ranges between 8% and 20%. Within this range, particulate emissions are at their lowest, while heat output reaches its highest efficiency. Scientific and laboratory studies confirm that firewood within this moisture interval delivers more usable energy, produces fewer emissions, and places… View Article
Why Moisture Content Matters Firewood moisture content is a fundamental factor in combustion efficiency, heat output, and stove performance. While it is commonly stated that only dry firewood should be used, it is the specific range of moisture that determines how well firewood performs in heating applications. Freshly cut wood can contain natural moisture levels… View Article
The firewood industry has long been shaped by tradition rather than performance. For decades, firewood was treated as a raw material: cut, stacked, sold, and burned, often without consistent standards or measurable quality indicators. Today, this approach is no longer sufficient. Rising energy efficiency requirements, tighter regulations, and higher expectations from both businesses and consumers… View Article

Why the Firewood Drying Method Matters Kiln-dried firewood is widely recognised for its higher heat output, lower emissions, and reduced maintenance costs for stoves and chimneys. However, a common misconception remains: that kiln drying is less environmentally friendly than air drying. In reality, when analysed from a full production and energy-efficiency perspective, an industrial kiln… View Article
