eucalyptus

[Woodworks]

Been offered some eucalyptus for firewood and have a customer who wants some rings to split. I am presuming it is good firewood but will it split OK with an axe as it's been down six months? Think I read somewhere that it was quite tough stuff.

 

Thanks

No it splits quite easy but does't burn that well. but it's ok if free. I Would't buy it just for fire wood.

Goes very hard when seasoned its very stringy but burns well

Goes off like concrete so split as soon as you can . Fantastic fire wood . Can pop and bang a bit so stove only .

We'll one of us must be right unless someone comes on and says it does't burn at all. I have always found it does't burn as good as or their dense timber never get a good flame. Saying that, it will burn but very slowly.

Thanks Stubby.

Do you think six months down and ringed will have made it un split-able with an axe? Don't want to sell it too him to then get a call saying can I come round and split it for him.

Well I have got lots of it . Not making it up honest some on the stove now . Bone dry at less than 18% . I have 2 mechanical splitters so don't use an axe . It is rock hard when seasoned . When they have wild fires in Aus these trees tend to explode !
