The ATH Kiln Dried Advantage

In the quest for the perfect fire, whether it's for cooking, camping, or heating, the type of firewood you choose plays a pivotal role. Not all firewood is created equal, and understanding the differences is key to optimizing your experience. At ATH, we're passionate about providing a superior alternative to traditional firewood through our kiln dried offerings. Here's why the type of firewood you use matters and how ATH Kiln Dried Firewood transforms the game.

The Downside of Traditional Firewood

Traditional firewood, often seasoned in the open air, varies significantly in moisture content. High moisture levels mean harder ignition, more smoke, and less heat output. It can also lead to the build-up of creosote in chimneys, a dangerous fire hazard. Moreover, natural seasoning doesn't guarantee the wood is free from bugs, mold, or mildew, posing risks to your health and home when stored indoors.

The Kiln Dried Difference


Kiln drying is a controlled process that reduces the wood's moisture content to an optimal level. This meticulous process ensures that ATH Kiln Dried Firewood offers unparalleled benefits:

Burns Hotter and Longer: Low moisture content means the wood ignites faster and burns at a higher temperature, providing more warmth and a longer-lasting fire with less wood.

Minimal Smoke and Creosote: With the wood burning more completely, kiln dried firewood produces significantly less smoke and minimal creosote, making it a cleaner choice for your fireplace and the environment.

Perfect for Cooking and Camping: The clean, high-heat output makes our kiln dried wood ideal for cooking, imparting no unwanted flavors to your food, and providing a reliable heat source for camping.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle: The reduced moisture content makes kiln dried firewood lighter and easier to carry, a convenience factor you'll appreciate.
