If you’ve been searching for kiln dried logs for sale near me, you’re in the right place. At Peak Logs, we supply high-quality, sustainably sourced firewood that burns hotter, cleaner, and more efficiently — perfect for October evenings in Buxton and across the Peak District.

Why Choose Kiln Dried Logs?
- Hotter burn: The low moisture content means more energy is converted into heat rather than steam, giving you a strong, consistent flame.
- Less mess: Kiln drying removes excess moisture, reducing soot and residue build-up in your chimney or stove.
- Eco-friendly: Our logs are sourced from sustainably managed woodland such as the Chatsworth Estate, helping you enjoy a warm home with a smaller carbon footprint.
- Convenient delivery: Free delivery within 18 miles of Buxton on orders over £65 — ideal for local homeowners getting ready for winter.
October Heating Tips To Maximise Your Firewood
1. Pre-warm your room
Before lighting your fire, close windows and draw curtains to retain heat. Use your stove fan (if you have one) to circulate warm air evenly around the room.
2. Store logs correctly
Even kiln dried logs need to be stored properly. Keep them in a dry, ventilated log store — ideally off the ground and covered from rain. This helps preserve their low moisture content and ensures a reliable, easy-to-light fire every time.
3. Mix log types for the perfect burn
Combine softwood and hardwood logs for optimal performance. Softwood logs ignite quickly and give an intense heat, while hardwood provides a longer, steadier burn — perfect for maintaining warmth through the evening.
4. Use kindling and firelighters
Start your fire efficiently using natural kindling and firelighters. They’ll help your logs catch more easily and reduce smoke output during ignition.
5. Check your stove’s airflow
Good airflow is essential for clean combustion. Make sure vents are clear and open while lighting, then adjust to control the flame once your logs are burning evenly.
