    Ponga any good for firewood?

    hey

    im fixing up my garden in my new house and the previous owners had put in raised beds with lots and lots of pogna around it. it now looks very ugly.

    is it any good for burning in a log burner indoors during the winter?

    thanks guys

    No. Sell it for landscaping purposes.

    Don't want to be downwind of your place in winter then do we!

    The ponga, pubes, waste oil, or petrol?

    While we're at it, thought of starting it burning with diesel and polystyrene?

    To get it into "useable" sized pieces for your fireplace will be a real pain, it's a bit like chopping fibreglass with a hand saw. It will dull chainsaw teeth in seconds if it's been used for landscaping.

    Let it dry first - it will take about 12 months to realy dry out ponga ...

    Then it still burns like wet toilet paper ...

    Not worth the hassle of cutting it up ..
