Macrocarpa is a medium density wood which means it is still relatively easy to catch a flame, and can still be burnt by itself. It is slower burning than old man pine and other softwoods meaning it will last longer, and ultimately release more heat into the room over the duration of the burn.
Macrocarpa mixes well with Old man pine to give an easily maintained, hot, easy to burn mix. It can also be used to start the fire and create a good base for a hardwood such as Gum, delivering a very hot, long lasting fire. It can even be burnt on its own making it one of the most versatile woods on the market.
