At Homefire, we only sell firewood logs by volume, not weight, and for good reason. The weight of wood is constantly changing due to moisture content and density variations, making weight an unreliable measure for customers.
Take two logs of the same species with identical shapes and dimensions. Despite their similarities, their weight will differ due to natural density variations and moisture levels. Check back 30 days later, and the weight of both logs will have changed again as they continue to dry out.
Each year, Homefire supplies over 240,000 bags of kiln dried firewood to homeowners, and we never specify a weight. Any weight given at the time of purchase would eventually become inaccurate. Selling by volume provides a far more consistent and transparent way for customers to understand exactly what they’re getting.
Understanding Firewood Volume
By providing a fixed volume of wood, we allow customers to fairly compare our products with those from other suppliers. However, even volume can vary depending on how the wood is packaged.
For example, a 1m³ crate contains more wood than a 1m³ Dumpy Bag because the logs in the crate are neatly packed, while the logs in the Dumpy Bag are loosely tipped in, resulting in more empty space. To address this, we distinguish between packed volume and loose volume to ensure clear comparisons.
Similarly, bags such as the Large Handy Bag, Grab Bag, and Kiln Dried Nets are also neatly packed, meaning their contents take up less space compared to loosely stored logs. To make comparisons easier, we use a loose volume equivalent—a measure that estimates how much space a packed product would take up if emptied into a Dumpy Bag. This approach ensures customers can make informed decisions when purchasing firewood logs.
Best Kiln Dried Logs for Firepits
If you want the best logs for your firepit, go for Homefire kiln-dried firewood. It lights up fast, burns hotter, and doesn’t choke you with smoke. Many of our customers agree; it is ideal for those long outdoor evenings, and unlike seasoned wood, which can hang onto moisture and burn badly, kiln-dried logs give you a clean, steady fire that lasts.
Planning a night under the stars? Whether you're toasting marshmallows, warming up after sunset, or setting the mood for a garden get-together, the right firewood makes all the difference.
