The Kiln Dried Ash Crate suits customers who want a reliable, easy-lighting fire without the slower start that denser woods like oak require. Ash has a calorific value of around 19 MJ/kg, close to oak's 18-20 MJ/kg, but lights considerably more readily, so it's a strong all-rounder for both regular stove users and those who want a fire going with minimal fuss. If you specifically want the longest possible burn between refuelling, our Kiln Dried Oak Crate is worth comparing instead. Read more in our Ultimate Ash Firewood Guide.

The Kiln Dried Ash Crate is available in Medium (1.42m³), Large (2.29m³) and Extra Large (3.08m³). Medium suits occasional burners or smaller households, Large suits regular weekly use, and Extra Large suits households burning most evenings through a full winter who want to minimise reorders. Each size contains the same 100% ash logs at the same moisture spec, so the choice comes down purely to volume needed for your household.

Yes, it's kiln dried below 20% moisture and Ready to Burn certified, the DEFRA-recognised threshold for clean-burning firewood. In practice this means the logs light more easily straight from the crate, produce noticeably less smoke and creosote than damp or unverified "seasoned" wood, and are suitable for use in UK smoke-control areas, where burning wet wood in an open fire or older stove can be an offence carrying a fine. Read more about the scheme in our Ready to Burn guide.

Yes, its open, slatted sides allow airflow around the logs, so as long as you keep it undercover, under a car port, in a garage, or beneath a tarp, it functions as a ready-made log store. This means you don't need to buy separate storage or decant the logs elsewhere once the crate is delivered and positioned in your garden or driveway. Once empty, you can break the crate down and use it for kindling as it is dry and untreated. Read more about reuses for crates.

This crate is delivered on a pallet by our national carrier, typically within 3-5 working days, and qualifies for free UK mainland delivery as a bulk order. You'll need clear, level access wide enough for a tail-lift lorry, and it's best to be present when it arrives in case the driver needs guidance on where to position the crate safely, particularly if your driveway has a slope, gravel, or restricted turning space. You are able to select your date at checkout. Read more in our delivery guide.
