Premium quality from softwood and hardwood
High-quality firewood is the basis for efficient heat, a long burn time and clean combustion in the fireplace or stove. Hardwood from deciduous trees in particular impresses with high energy density, calm burning behaviour and even ember development. Less wood is needed while a constant heat output is guaranteed.

FIREWOOD COMPARED
Choosing the right firewood
When the evenings get cooler and the first fire crackles in the fireplace, one thing above all decides whether the winter will be cosy: the right firewood. Softwood and hardwood burn differently, and both have their place by the fire. Knowing the difference means heating cleverly, cleanly and with the result you want.
It all comes down to the density of the wood. Hardwood is heavier and denser, so it burns more slowly, gives off even heat for hours and forms stable embers. Softwood is lighter, ignites faster and produces a lively, bright flame. The calorific value per log is higher for hardwood, while softwood scores when lighting the fire. Important for both: residual moisture below 20 percent so the wood burns cleanly with few sparks.
SOFTWOOD
for a quick fire and bright flame
Softwoods such as spruce, pine and larch catch fire quickly and bring the fireplace to life immediately. They are excellent for lighting, for the transitional season in autumn and for atmospheric hours around the fire bowl in the garden. The bright flame and gentle crackle create exactly the atmosphere you light the fire for in the evening.
HARDWOOD
for a long burn time and powerful heat
Birch, beech and oak stand for everything a long winter evening needs. Their dense structure ensures a lasting burn, powerful heat and even embers, so you need to add wood less often. Hardwoods such as beech are also versatile all-rounders for fires, barbecues and smoking.
There is no such thing as "the best wood" - a clever combination is the best choice
The best choice is often both. Use softwood to get the fire in the fireplace or fire bowl going quickly, and hardwood to keep the warmth all evening.
Lively softwood or enduring hardwood: with HEIZFUXX® you get reliable quality you can count on season after season. Heat smart and enjoy the warmth a good fire brings home.

KILN-DRIED FIREWOOD
Ready to use and clean in the fireplace
Kiln-dried means the firewood has been technically dried in a special drying chamber under controlled conditions – not merely air-dried outdoors. In the kiln, temperature, air circulation and duration are precisely controlled to reliably reduce the residual moisture of the wood.
- Low residual moisture: usually below 20 % wood moisture – ideal for fireplaces and stoves
- Ready to use immediately: no further storage or seasoning required
- Clean combustion: less smoke, higher efficiency and fewer deposits in the chimney
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
The most burning questions about firewood.
As a rule, firewood should air-dry for at least 6 to 12 months before use. What matters is not only the time but above all the moisture content, which should be below 20 percent for the wood to burn optimally.
Differences by wood species
The wood species has a major influence on the drying time:
- Hardwood such as beech or oak usually needs 12 to 24 months
- Softwood such as pine or spruce is often ready after 6 to 12 months
Hardwoods are denser and store more moisture. In return they offer a longer burn time and a higher calorific value later on.
Factors influencing drying
Thinner logs dry faster than thick ones and should be split early. Airy, dry storage protected from rain with good air circulation is essential, ideally in a sunny, windy spot without ground contact. Warm, dry weather speeds up drying, while moisture slows it down considerably.
Kiln-dried firewood as an alternative
If you do not want to wait, you can use kiln-dried firewood. Moisture is deliberately removed from the wood in special drying plants until it is ready for immediate use.
As a rule, the best firewood is dry, has a moisture content below 20 percent and suits your heating habits.
Hardwood: the best choice for long-lasting heat
Hardwoods such as beech, oak, ash or robinia are among the best firewoods. Thanks to their high density they burn slowly, develop even heat and ensure a long burn time. At the same time they produce less smoke and residue, protecting your stove and chimney.
Beech in particular is considered the classic among firewoods, offering an excellent balance of burn time, calorific value and flame.
Softwood: ideal for quick lighting
Softwoods such as pine or spruce ignite quickly and deliver heat fast, making them ideal for lighting the fire or for short heating periods. However, they burn faster, so wood has to be added more often.
In most households the ideal log length is around 30 to 40 cm. This size fits common fireplace and stove models and makes adding wood easy. Before buying, however, always check the maximum firebox depth of your appliance.
A proven standard is logs of around 33 cm, as they are versatile and fit almost every fireplace.
Besides length, the thickness of the firewood matters too. Logs with a diameter of around 7 to 15 cm are recommended.
- Thicker logs burn longer and provide even heat
- Thinner logs ignite faster and are ideal for lighting the fire
A combination of different thicknesses ensures optimal fire management and even burning.
Dry hardwood such as beech smokes the least because it burns evenly and at high heat. However, residual moisture matters more than the species: any wood that is too damp smokes heavily, whether hard or soft.
