Utilize dry logs If conceivable, purchase dry wood, yet how dry? 

All things considered, get yourself a dampness meter (about £20) and test the logs for the dampness content. Anything around 20% is fine, the lower the better for logs. Drier wood gives more warmth and less deposits, which means you don't need to clean your log burner to such an extent.
