After the warm Summer we’re not complaining. One of our favourite pastimes over long winters is to sit by the fire. Whether back burning, warming the home, or sharing stories around the campfire, it warms our bodies and our hearts. Do you know the one thing that makes a great fire? Great wood!  
 
Not all woods are created equal. Some timber is full of flavour for smoking meats, some sturdy for building, and some wood is perfect for the fire. Getting the right wood for your fire is a must to ensure that it’s a great one. You want your wood to provide the most amount of heat with the least amount of smoke, and a beautiful scent doesn’t go a miss. That’s why at Capalaba Produce we only stock sustainably gathered Ironbark, one of the best types of wood for your fires. Here’s why!

Ironbark wood is well known for its dense composition. This means you’ll get a slow, steady, and warm burn from this weed. Even on the chilliest of nights. 

One of the traits of Ironbark firewood is it not only produces incredible heat but produces that heat for a long time. Allowing you to enjoy your fire with fewer breaks to add more fuel to your fire.

Growing your own food at home throughout winter in Brisbane is fantastic! June is a great month to plant classic winter vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, lettuce, kale, and of course cabbages. If you’re curious about growing cabbages make sure to check out last weeks blog here. These cold loving vegetables will flourish in the cooler months bringing you a harvest throughout winter and into early spring. Just make sure your garden bed gets enough sunlight and water them adequately to encourage healthy growth.

From a roaring bonfire to cooking the rewards of a day out on the boat Ironbark is also known for how versatile it is. From fireplaces, to bonfires, firepits, or a wooden stove Ironbark is an incredible wood to use for them all. It also has a mouthwatering smokey flavour for grilling and smoking, making it a favourite of the barbeque lovers out there.
