Softwood as Firewood
Softwood / seasoned softwood is a good source of firewood with high heat when properly seasoned. It has a slightly higher heat output tonne for tonne than hardwood and this is due to its resin content. Softwood though is much lighter and you need more to get the same energy as hardwood. The resin though can have a negative side effect and that is in some cases it may spark. Therefore it is advised to use softwood in a stove or with a fire guard.
Softwood logs for sale from Kildare logs are seasoned for a long duration of time. this results in a very low amount of sparks but we give no warranty. The reason for the reduction in sap are pockets of sap dissipating through the wood over time. Hence reducing the poping you get when the same heats up. If you’re looking for a non-sparking wood please take a look at our Hardwood logs and more specifically Ash hardwood.
Log for log softwood are lighter than hardwood so when buying it is important that you get a greater volume of wood for the same price. This and the fact that softwood is more plentiful is why we give a big discount for our softwood verses our hardwood on our site.
