Most things dry and free... but we went through some Euc and alder a few years ago; both were good in their own way. Alder a bit quick burning but hot. Euc nice and heavy and slow burning but a witch to split!

 

 

You need to split Gum when it's green. ALWAYS when it's green. It's like concrete if left to season for too long.

Had some beech in the stove last night 1st time I've burnt beech in it, one log burnt for a good 3hrs couldn't believe how long it was burning for it wasn't particularly big at all. Anyway it pleased the wife as we've got a log store full of it and another 6 ton sacks full.

Last year I burnt cherry hawthorn and ash with a bit of cedar through the mix as well. The cedar threw out lots of heat and burnt well. Being in the game I never really worry about what to burn as I'm lucky to have an endless supply but beech at the mo is winning as a favourite.
