Central Otago/Old Man Pine $110 (Sold Out)

Our Central Otago pine has much the same qualities as you would find in an Old Man Pine due to the harsher growing conditions in our area compared to the faster growing coastal plantation pine. The majority of our pine is source from the Central Otago region.

​

The older the tree, the better the burning properties, especially in trees 30 years and older. However, old man pine trees 30 yrs + can contain a high content of resin / gum which is a flammable product. This resin can also sap up your chimney more than other woods. 

​

 Pine is suitable for both open fires and log burners. Pine needs to be stored well and needs plenty of sunlight to prevent mould. It will absorb water easily after being dried so adequate storage is recommended. It is a great fire starter.

​

We advise cleaning your chimney regularly during the winter if you are burning Pine especially Old Man Pine due to the resin build up.

Corsican Pine $120 (Sold Out)

Corsican pine is fair superior to Radiata Pine. Its a medium density wood that burns longer and hotter. A wood that is really easy to light and a lovely all round wood. A great firewood for a lower budget that will still get you a superior heat.

The higher density Larch is suitable to burn in most closed log burners. It lights easily and burns longer and hoter that the softer pine however mixes well with all woods.  It is not suitable for open fires and the resin content in the Larch does make it spit a lot. A good all round wood.

This is our top selling wood.
