Kils dried logs recommendation

    Hi just wondering if any of you have supplier recommendations for bulk buying kiln died logs (Dublin) that burn really well in your stoves ?

    I'm assuming that buying carry bags of logs is an expensive way to buy them.

    I have tried small bags of kiln logs from Woodies, B&Q, garden centre and Bord na Mona. All claim to have moisture content of 20% or less but the performance seems to be quite different in the stove. The Bord na Mona ones and Norwegian birchwood from a garden centre seem to burn best and allow me to use the stove in accordance with manufacturer instructions. i.e. after heating up shut off primary air and regulate burn with secondary / air wash control.

    I recently bought a 1m cubed crate of kiln-dried ash and these look and feel very dry but I need to keep the primary air partially or fully open with these logs which I think is a less efficient burn in a wood stove and I find I'm constantly having to fiddle with the air control. I don't get the nice rolling flames with these logs as they are getting the air underneath from the primary control. Woodies and B&Q kiln dried logs were similar.
