If you are burning wood on a wood burning stove, it really should be dry, 25% is the maximum water content for efficient wood burning.
The Euroheat log store (wood store)has been designed in the UK to encourage nature to naturally dry freshly sawn timber as quickly as possible. Dependent upon type of wood, diameter and length, split or not split, this process can take anywhere between six and twenty-four months.
Dry wood is a must for any type of wood burning. You must either buy pre-dried timber and keep it dry, or season your own. The log store has been designed in a modular fashion, therefore, facilitating both types of approach.
One log store holds 1.5 cubic metres, if you are buying pre-dried timber this may be adequate for your needs. However, if you are naturally seasoning larger quantities just join two log stores or more together side by side or back to back. Remember burning dry wood will give you efficient, cost effective heating with your wood burning stove

The Finishing Touch Cedar Shingle Roof
The Euroheat log store is fitted as standard with felt shingles to provide a water tight roof. As an option cedar shingles tiles can be supplied.
Cedar shingles have been used for hundreds of years and have proven their durability in all kinds of climates. They can be used to create individual buildings, whether traditional or modern, and their rich, warm colour and texture blend beautifully in any natural environment. The natural effects of aging and weathering give shingles, in time, an attractive silvery grey colour.
Cedar shingles are renowned for their insulation qualities, dimensional stability and natural resistance to the elements. Shingles contain a natural preservative making them uncommonly durable in their natural state.
Western Red Cedars unique cellular composition makes a roof of shingles a natural barrier to heat and cold, providing a high degree of thermal insulation. Proper application of cedar shingles gives outstanding rigidity and resilience against extreme weather including high winds and pounding hail.
A feature unique to cedar shingles is their flexibility. This enables them to follow complex contours.
