Larch is a compelling alternative to traditional hardwoods. It’s affordability and high heat output have made it a firm favourite of the wood burning enthusiast, in fact, it is the most popular firewood sold here at Firewood Express! Here are some good reasons to consider Larch as fuel for your wood burning stove or enclosed log burner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Locally Sourced Sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Firewood Express, we take pride in sourcing our larch from local woodlands, with the vast majority of the wood being sourced mere miles from our processing area. This proximity ensures a reduced carbon footprint and supports sustainable forestry practices within our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Cost-Effective Heating Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Larch stands out as an economical choice compared to many hardwoods. Its affordability doesn’t compromise quality, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers seeking efficient heating. Larch is the hardest softwood available and has a hotter, slower burn than other woods such as Pine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Optimal Performance in Enclosed Stoves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Larch is particularly well-suited for enclosed stoves and log burners. Its burning properties align perfectly with the controlled environment of these appliances, ensuring safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> Heat Output and Burn Longevity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Larch is a dense softwood, often denser than some hardwoods, which contributes to its impressive heat output. When properly seasoned and dried it burns hot and provides a sustained heat source. Users have noted that larch burns comparably to hardwoods like birch and black cherry, delivering a long and hot burn with low smoke and minimal ash production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Semi Seasoned \/ Kiln-Dried Options Available<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of larch’s advantages is its relatively quick seasoning time. It typically requires 6 to 12 months to dry adequately, which is shorter compared to many hardwoods. Proper seasoning reduces moisture content, enhancing burn efficiency and heat output. At Firewood Express we supply both Kiln-Dried “Ready to Burn” Larch, as well as part-seasoned logs which you can store in your woodshed until under 20% moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, larch firewood presents a locally sourced, cost-effective, and efficient heating option, especially when used in enclosed stoves or log burners. Its high heat output and reasonable burn time make it a valuable addition to your firewood selection, at a much better pricing point than Hardwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Larch is a compelling alternative to traditional hardwoods.
