Old Potters has been making firewood for cooking since 2010, and this 12-pound box of kiln-dried oak logs is purpose-built for pizza ovens. The 6-inch length fits standard home ovens without needing to break or split pieces. The wood is USDA Certified Kiln Dried, which means moisture content is low enough to light easily and burn clean with minimal smoke.

In practice, these logs produce a steady, hot flame that reaches 800°F in most portable ovens within 15 to 20 minutes. Oak burns longer and more evenly than softer woods like pine or birch, so you get consistent heat through multiple pizzas. The smoke is mild and sweet, not acrid. You won’t get the intense fruitwood aroma of cherry or apple, but oak is reliable and doesn’t overpower your toppings.

The box weighs 12 pounds and contains roughly 20 to 25 small logs. That’s enough for two to three cooking sessions depending on your oven size and how many pies you’re cranking out. One limitation: these are split logs, not uniform chunks, so a few pieces may be slightly thicker or thinner. It doesn’t affect performance, but you’ll want to stack them carefully in smaller ovens. For the price, this is a solid, no-fuss fuel source that does exactly what it says.
