Energy Output

Kiln-dried Oak logs are an outstandingly energy-efficient fuel source, with the capacity to produce an average heat output of up to 4.30 kWh/kg. Our kiln-dried wood maintains a moisture content ranging from 10% to 15%, significantly lower than the Government's recommended limit of 25%. Additionally, it generates minimal ash content, leaving less than 1% residue behind.

Energy Comparison - Hardwood vs Softwood

Kiln-dried wood releases a similar amount of energy per kilogram whatever the species - around 4.3 kWh/kg at 10-15% moisture. What differs between species is density: how many kilos fit into the same space. That is why a hardwood crate delivers more heat than a softwood crate of exactly the same size.

The same 1.2 m³ crate, filled with:
• Oak - approx. 480KG, approx. 2,064 kWh
• Birch - approx. 460KG, approx. 1,978 kWh
• Pine - approx. 415KG, approx. 1,784 kWh
• Spruce - approx. 338KG, approx. 1,454 kWh

Like for like, this crate of kiln-dried oak carries around 42% more usable energy than the same crate filled with spruce, and around 4% more than birch. Dry matter densities per COFORD (Irish forestry research): oak 560-600 kg/m³, birch 500-520 kg/m³, pine 440-480 kg/m³, spruce 350-400 kg/m³.

Carefully selected and sustainably sourced, Rathwood Oak Firewood is known for its excellent burning properties and beautiful flame display. Oak is prized for its long, steady burn and strong coaling, making it an ideal choice for heating, cooking, grilling, and creating cosy fires.

The RW Fuels are made from FSC-certified woods from well-managed forests, further emphasising our commitment to environmental sustainability.

The crate pallet packaging provides numerous advantages. It offers a substantial quantity of firewood, ensuring an ample supply for multiple fires without the need for frequent replenishment. The pallet design facilitates easy transportation, storage, and handling of the firewood, making it a convenient and efficient fuel solution for your heating needs.

Our Rathwood Kiln-Dried wood is preferred for firewood as it burns more efficiently compared to wood with higher moisture content. It ignites easily and generates more heat, making it an ideal choice for fire-starting and heating purposes.
