Keep a ledger. When the lil' one gets old enough to help you with firewood, you've got proof of how many hours they owe you

That's cheap this way.
I had 20 odd spare cubes this season and sold it all from between 150 and 165 a cube delivered... good stacked cubes though.
The local garden supply stockists are selling river red gum from NSW for $220 a cube pick it up and load yourself.
It's not ever going to get any cheaper either.

Box is my fave.

i do burn alot of wattle as well they fall over alot on my land and you are right they are easy to split, i split all mine with a maul stringy as well as what ever other gums i find.
i think a spitter is some times to much work lifting the rounds up on to the dam things i find it quicker just to smash them up with a maul on the ground.

I don't mind burning blackwood and tend not to dry it out too much so it burns slow.

I've heard from numerous people though that you shouldn't burn blackwood if you're on tank water. Don't know if there's any science behind it or just an old cocky''s tail or not.
