It makes wondeful firewood. I can't get my hands on enough of the stuff. Burns very hot and very long depending on the species and you won't see the stuff hanging around after being felled around these parts.

 

The vapour given off is what fuels the fires. What causes them is usually some little scrote with a match who thinks it's fun to set fire to stuff, back burning gone wrong or a careless individual with a stray butt end, spark etc. The vapours are highly combustable but you'll find the same with certain species of conifer. Put a hot dry wind behind it and it's all on for young and old.

 

The Gum that I burn doesn't spit and thinking about it I've never had any Gum spit. Are you sure that it is thoroughly dry? This stuff can take a couple of years to completely dry out. Even if it does spit, like others have suggested use a fireguard. The wood really is one of the best firewoods you'll find.

yep one of the best woods on an open fire or stove, you need to give it atleast 2 years to dry in the uk and then let the wind blow through it for 6 mths, only down side forget the axe, use a saw and cut into bricks or pto splitter.

sorry should have said ,let the wind blow through 6 mths after splitting, its worth the wait
