WOOD DENSITY

The wood fibres in high-density logs are more closely compacted than low-density wood; when ignited, high-density wood burns more slowly as the flames cannot travel quickly through the tight grains of the wood.

HEAT EMISSION

British thermal unit (BTU) is a measure of the heat content of fuels or energy sources. One BTU is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by 1° Fahrenheit (F) at the temperature that water has its greatest density (approximately 39° F)


Below is a comparison to wood sources commonly used in the UK. BTU is measured in millions.
