GUM
Gum is a high density wood which is ideal once your fire has been going for a while. It is great for night time burning and keeps your fire going longer while maintaining a warm temperature throughout the night.
THE BEST FIREWOOD
types of wood
There are a lot of different firewood types, but the four most popular that we supply include the slow burning gum, the mid burning Macrocarpa to the faster burning pine.
-
Macrocarpa
Is a medium density wood with a good heat output and medium to long burning time. It is a very clean burning wood but however it can spark, so is not suited to some open fires.
OLD PINE
Is normal radiata pine that is older than 50 years. Because of this the tree generates more sap and resin inside the middle of the tree (heartwood) which makes it burn hotter and longer.
PLANTATION PINE
Matures at 25-35 years of age at which time it is harvested. Pine is great to start your fire with, but being a low density wood it doesn't last as long as others. We recommend mixing this with other wood types to make it more efficient.
