Firewood from Eucalyptus burns very hot and is comparable to oak. However, its availability is limited and it takes a longer time and great effort to prepare for burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eucalyptus has 700 different species and is native to Australia. From there it spread into different parts of the world but is difficult to find in northeastern or central United States. It is, without a doubt, among the highest density hardwoods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons for its popularity is due to its oil, which is used as an insect repellent. Eucalyptus wood and leaves contain a high amount of it. Even after seasoning, there are oil pockets in the firewood which makes the wood pop and spark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eucalyptus is also known as gumtree and has a fast growth. It can grow up to 8 ft per year. It is a real pain to split and seasoned wood is almost impossible to split with hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
