    Just a suggestion: Eucalyptus contains a lot of oil and can be explosive when burning. It will send sparks when that happens. I don’t know if that is a problem with a 2-year dead eucalyptus. Might be okay with fireplace screen in place and a chimney screen.

    Loved this video... I saw a FB post from someone the other day & they put a poem on about firewood. Just found it again via apex chimneys:
    I think its called the firewood poem:
    By Lady Celia Congreve
    Published in The Times: March 2nd 1930
    These hardwoods burn well and slowly,
    Ash, beech, hawthorn oak and holly.
    Softwoods flare up quick and fine,
    Birch, fir, hazel, larch and pine.
    Elm and willow you’ll regret,
    Chestnut green and sycamore wet.
    Beechwood fires are bright and clear,
    If the logs are kept a year.
    Chestnut’s only good, they say,
    If for long ’tis laid away.
    But Ash new or Ash old,
    Is fit for a queen with crown of gold.
    Birch and fir logs bum too fast,
    Blaze up bright and do not last.
    It is by the Irish said,
    Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
    Elm wood bums like churchyard mould,
    E’en the very flames are cold.
    But Ash green or Ash brown,
    Is fit for a queen with golden crown.
    Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
    Fills your eyes and makes you choke.
    Apple wood will scent your room,
    With an incense like perfume.
    Oaken logs if dry and old,
    Keep away the winter’s cold.
    But Ash wet or Ash dry,
    A king shall warm his slippers by.
    Oak logs will warm you well,
    That are old and dry.
    Logs of pine will sweetly smell,
    But the sparks will fly.
    Birch logs will burn too fast,
    Chestnut scarce at all sir.
    Hawthorn logs are good to last,
    That are cut well in the fall sir
    Holly logs will burn like wax,
    You could burn them green.
    Elm logs burn like smouldering flax,
    With no flame to be seen.
    Beech logs for winter time,
    Yew logs as well sir.
    Green elder logs it is a crime,
    For any man to sell sir.
    Pear logs and apple logs,
    They will scent your room.
    And cherry logs across the dogs,
    They smell like flowers of broom.
    But Ash logs smooth and grey,
    Buy them green or old, sir.
    And buy up all that come your way,
    They’re worth their weight in gold sir.
    Logs to Burn, Logs to burn, Logs to burn,
    Logs to save the coal a turn.
    Here’s a word to make you wise,
    When you hear the woodman’s cries.
    Never heed his usual tale,
    That he has good logs for sale.
    But read these lines and really learn,
    The proper kind of logs to burn

    A comment on the Mimosa shrubs. They are considered an invasive nuisance, extreme fire hazard (fire heat they generate), are very difficult to eradicate because they regrow through their roots. Cut one down 6-8 will grow up from the base. They need their roots to be pulled out to prevent regrowth.

    You guys are living my dream. Gardening and taking care of the land is my passion. I am too old to do it on the scale you do-however I bought an old house (1940) on a 1/4 acre lot in North Vancouver Canada and I am looking forward to next spring when I can get my hands dirty.
