ABSTRACT:
A process for kiln drying firewood comprises splitting essentially uniform lengths of green tree logs to form firewood pieces. The green firewood pieces are placed in a kiln drying oven and dried at temperatures in excess of 150.degree. F. by moving heated air over the pieces until they have an overall moisture content ranging from 15% up to 30% by weight. The firewood pieces are removed for subsequent distribution and use. The kiln dried firewood pieces have an outer layer of a moisture content which is sufficiently low to permit igniting of the firewood with ignited paper or the like without requiring the use of kindling wood.
