Description
Oak firewood in a **1m³ crate** is highly sought after for heating purposes in homes because of the high density of the wood and its very good burning qualities.
Here’s some key information about it:
Features of Oak Firewood:
1. **Density and Heat Output**:
– Oak is a hardwood, meaning it takes longer to burn and produces more heat compared to softwoods.
– High energy content makes it effective for home heating.
2. **Moisture Content**:
– Kiln-dried oak firewood is normally at an average moisture content of about 15-20%. This will ensure a clean and efficient burn.
– The correctly seasoned oak should be below 20%.
3. **Size and Packaging**:
– Firewood in a **1m³ crate** is neatly stacked, easy to transport, and store.
The sizes are normally standardized at 1mx 1mx 1m but may vary according to a different supplier.
4. **Weight**:
Oak is dense, even after it is properly dried. An average weight can be up to 400 to 600 kgs in a totally filled 1 cubic meter crate.
5. **Burning Characteristics**:
Generally, it offers a slow and even burn which gives low to moderate heat content but also produces less smoke when well seasoned.
– It is great for wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor fire pits.
### Things to Consider:
– **Price**: Oak firewood is usually more expensive than softwoods because it burns better.
– **Storage**: Ensure that you have a dry and well-ventilated area to store the firewood in order to preserve its quality.
– **Sustainability**: Be sure to opt for suppliers who source their oak sustainably.
