Cooking Wood FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best wood for a pizza oven?
Kiln dried hardwoods such as ash and beech are excellent for pizza ovens because they burn hot, cleanly and consistently. We offer a range of pizza oven logs to suit each individual oven. Avoid damp logs, softwood and treated timber.
Can I use normal firewood for cooking?
Only use clean, untreated hardwood that is properly dried. Some general firewood may be too damp or unsuitable for cooking, so it is better to choose kiln dried hardwood intended for real flame cooking. Cooking wood is usually split to size for specific ovens or cookers make sure to get the correct size for your setup.
Why does moisture content matter?
Wet wood wastes energy boiling off water before it burns properly. Kiln dried wood below 20% moisture lights more easily, burns hotter and produces less unwanted smoke.

What cooking wood should I use in a pizza oven?
