Which Firewood Burns Best in Brisbane? Choosing the right Wood

The nights have been chilly this week. It’s almost down to single digits as we’ve opened the gates of a morning, winter has arrived!

After the warm Summer we’re not complaining. One of our favourite pastimes over long winters is to sit by the fire. Whether back burning, warming the home, or sharing stories around the campfire, it warms our bodies and our hearts. Do you know the one thing that makes a great fire? Great wood!  
 
Not all woods are created equal. Some timber is full of flavour for smoking meats, some sturdy for building, and some wood is perfect for the fire. Getting the right wood for your fire is a must to ensure that it’s a great one. You want your wood to provide the most amount of heat with the least amount of smoke, and a beautiful scent doesn’t go a miss. That’s why Brookies Capalaba only stocks sustainably gathered Ironbark, one of the best types of wood for your fires. Here’s why!

Ironbark gets hot, and stays hot

Ironbark wood is well known for its dense composition. This means you’ll get a slow, steady, and warm burn from this weed. Even on the chilliest of nights. 

One of the traits of Ironbark firewood is it not only produces incredible heat but produces that heat for a long time. Allowing you to enjoy your fire with fewer breaks to add more fuel to your fire. 

Ironbark is a clean burner

Sitting around a fire with friends and family is a beautiful experience. Until the wind picks up and blows the smoke into your face. Unlike other woods that are known to produce lots of smoke when burning, Ironbark is a very clean burning wood, allowing you to breathe easy and enjoy the clear night sky.

It’s a versatile burner 

From a roaring bonfire to cooking the rewards of a day out on the boat Ironbark is also known for how versatile it is. From fireplaces, to bonfires, firepits, or a wooden stove Ironbark is an incredible wood to use for them all. It also has a mouthwatering smokey flavour for grilling and smoking, making it a favourite of the barbeque lovers out there. 

Well, there’s our top three reasons why when you want to keep warm over this winter, we recommend using Ironbark. From its incredible heat, and longevity to the flavour and clean burning this is really the go to wood for your winter fires. At Brookies Capalabawe have truckloads of Ironbark wood to keep you warm this winter.
