eucalyptus

I Find nitens burns better than Gunni - Gunni spits a hell of a lot and tends to sulk and not produce as much flame - Nitens burns with nice flame and is as long lasting as Oak/Ash... Just split it fresh as even the plantaiton stuff I had has spiral grain - dry that stuff will not split for love nor money with out a splitter.

my favourite firewood, takes a while to season though. as said try and split while green.

I'd gladly burn it all day long once seasoned but found it took a couple of years to be really ready for burning - that was summer felled and stacked outdoors though.

 

Like everyone else says - split it when green. I did 2 x 50 foot, 14 inch DBH trees into logs with a cheap Chinese maul and it took my back a long time to forgive me! Or maybe it was trying to split the stump of the second one by hand so I could put my new shed in that finished it off...
