Mixed Premium Hardwood offers several advantages:

• Variety: Provides a mix of different hardwood options, each with its burning characteristics. This can offer a good balance of heat output, burning time, and potential for pleasant aromas (depending on the wood types included).
• Versatility: Suitable for a variety of fireplace sizes and burning needs. Some hardwoods in the mix might burn hotter and longer, while others may season faster or offer a nice aroma.
• Convenience: Saves you the hassle of choosing between different firewood types. You get a well-rounded selection in one purchase.

Moisture content is crucial for efficient firewood burning. Here’s why:

• Dry Firewood Burns Better: Wet firewood burns poorly, releasing less heat and producing more smoke. This can lead to a disappointing and inefficient fire experience.
• Seasoned Wood Lasts Longer: Properly seasoned firewood (low moisture content) has a longer shelf life and will store better without risk of rot or mould growth.
• Cleaner Burning: Dry firewood burns cleaner, producing less smoke and fewer harmful emissions. This is better for your health and the environment.

It depends on what you mean by “red wood.” Here’s a breakdown:

• Redgum: An excellent firewood option! Red gum is a hardwood that burns hot, long, and seasons relatively quickly. It’s a popular choice for many regions.
• Generic “Red Wood”: Without more specific information, it’s difficult to say definitively. There are various red-hued wood types, and their burning characteristics can vary.

The amount of firewood you need depends on several factors:

• Fireplace Size: Larger fireplaces require more firewood per fire.
• Frequency of Use: Occasional users need less than frequent fireplace users.
• Climate: Colder climates require more firewood for heating purposes.

As a general guideline:

• Occasional users: Half face cord or a few bundles
• Frequent users: One to two face cords
• Primary heat source: Consider multiple cords depending on fireplace size and expected usage

Buying kindling is highly recommended! Here’s why:

• Easier Fire Starting: Kindling helps catch the flame from your fire starter and ignite larger logs more easily.
• Saves Time and Frustration: No need to struggle with stubborn, damp logs when starting your fire.
• More Control: Kindling allows you to gradually build the fire’s intensity.

• Ironbark: This dense hardwood burns hot and long, making it a great choice for those seeking maximum heat output and long burning times. However, it can be more expensive and takes longer to season.
• Red Gum: Another excellent option, red gum offers a good balance of heat output, burning time, and seasoning speed. It’s widely available and a popular choice for Sydney fireplaces.
• Spotted Gum: A versatile firewood, spotted gum burns well, seasons relatively quickly, and offers a pleasant aroma. It might not burn quite as hot as ironbark, but it’s a good all-around option.

The amount of firewood you need depends on several factors, including the size of your fireplace, how often you plan to use it, and the climate in your specific region. As a general guideline:

• Occasional fireplace users: A half face cord or a few bundles might suffice.
• Frequent fireplace users: One to two face cords could be a good starting point. 
• Homes with fireplaces as the primary heat source: Consider multiple cords depending on the fireplace size and expected usage.

Many people find fruit woods like apple or orange to have a pleasant aroma when burned. However, these woods are not typically the most efficient burning options and may be difficult to find in large quantities.

The burning time of firewood depends on the type of wood, its moisture content, and the size of the logs. It’s difficult to give a precise answer based on weight alone. However, 20kg of dry hardwood might last for an enjoyable fire session, depending on the factors mentioned above.

The burning time of firewood depends on the type of wood, its moisture content, and the size of the logs. It’s difficult to give a precise answer based on weight alone. However, 15kg of dry hardwood might last for an enjoyable fire session, depending on the factors mentioned above.

Hardwoods like ironbark, red gum, and spotted gum generally burn hotter than softwoods. Denser woods tend to have higher heat output.

Hardwoods are known for their long burning times. These dense woods burn slowly and steadily, releasing heat for extended periods.

Popular choices for camping firewood include red gum, ironbark, and spotted gum. These hardwoods burn hot, season well, and are readily available in many parts of Australia. However, always check local fire restrictions before using firewood while camping.

The cost of firewood can vary depending on location, demand, and wood type. Factors like sourcing, processing, and delivery can contribute to the price. Sustainable forestry practices also play a role in ensuring responsible firewood production.

The price of a tonne of firewood can vary depending on location, wood type, and supplier. Expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $400 or more per tonne.

The amount of firewood that fits in a 6×4 trailer depends on how tightly you pack it and the log sizes. As a rough estimate, it could hold around 1.5 to 2 cubic meters of firewood.

Weight and volume are different ways to measure firewood:

• Weight: Measured in kilograms (kg) or tonnes (t). Weight can fluctuate depending on the wood type (denser woods weigh more) and moisture content (wet wood weighs more).
• Volume: Measured in cubic meters (m³) or face cords/cords. This considers the actual space the firewood occupies, regardless of weight variations.

The cost of 1 cubic meter of firewood depends on the type of wood and supplier, similar to the cost per tonne.

Expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $400 or more per cubic meter of firewood in Sydney.
