Eucalyptus

[Stubby]

One other bit of advice .....Stove only , not open fire . Spits and pops like fire works !

[Mick Dempsey]

Burns very fast, too fast for my tastes, gone before you know it.

Agreed, Stove only...split when green with no real problems.

Had some seasoned for 2 years and it was like iron.

Gave a nice pleasant aroma when I left a few smaller bits near to the stove.

I found it strange as well . Mine lasts a good long time .

Many different species of Euc's, but I'd expect most to be slow, hot burning.

I seasoned a load in cord length back along. Cut to length and split with axe on fresh cut and split fine. Burnt well also

Hardwood,

 

Dozens of variety's, but obviously many less in the uk.

 

Only had it twice, but great firewood & stump wood makes top wedges..

I get loads of Euca wood , horrible to work with when wet especially when taking down ,can be a Bitch to cut when cutting main trunk , easy to split when green but the turns into Granite in no time .
