What's the best firewood for heating in Australia?+
Ironbark and redgum (river red gum) are the premium hardwood firewoods — high density, long burn, low smoke. Stringybark, blackbutt and box are excellent alternatives. Mixed hardwood is more economical. Avoid softwood (pine) — it burns quickly, leaves more residue and produces less heat per cubic metre.
