Manuka – Gisborne Delivery

Please note that this wood was harvested during May 2024 and is sold unseasoned and needs to dry before burning.

Manuka is the other great hardwood that we offer.  When dried and burned correctly, it is the premium firewood we offer.

Being very hard it is high density and means that each piece of wood has more energy waiting to be released when compared to soft or medium woods. It burns for longer, and it burns hotter, and although more expensive per load, will last much longer, and works out to be very cost effective in the long run.

Because of its high density, it requires a very good base to enable it to burn efficiently and therefore can not be burnt to its full potential by itself. Mix with soft woods such as Old man Pine, or medium woods such as Macrocarpa to get a solid base fire up to heat. Then stoke with the Manuka to get a consistent, long burning fire. Because of its char-coaling attributes it can be used over-night to keep producing heat
