This weeks scrounge - Stringy bark...Any guesses on how much?

So i've been pilfering around my cousins yard this week. They have dropped 6 stringy bark eucalyptus trees and its all for me to take........i love this wood...a good all rounder so to speak...splits well, burns hot and burns long...only issue i have with it is the sap which can be messy......wd-40 removes it easily .....and the bark (as the name suggest) is stringy and your are often left with big thick clumps of bark that sticks like velcro to everything... happy times!

Any guesses on how how much this will be when split?

Thanks guys. That pile is 3 full ute loads. Still more to get

Stringy Bark is a high BTU output firewood with a gsm of 890 gsm (Red Oak 740 gsm) so its right up there with the good stuff.

well there you go....thanks for that...in my first season of burning I was given a heap of stringy bark and I split and burnt it before it was seasoned and it burnt awesome!!...haha now i know better and i'm far more organised.

Out of curiosity, what gsm is something like red gum or yellow box?.....(yellow box is my favourite!....that smell)...and what does gsm stand for...hahah....i think BTU is the unit of measurement for heat?

great list, thanks for that....Australia has some dense wood!....so im hearing that GSM is not always directly proportional to BTU?

Out of curiosity Aussie, how much do you load up you triton? I have read some horror stories duel cabs with the 2mm chassis rail bending...because that arent a true 1 tonner people over load them thinking they can take heaps, then break springs, mounts or even bend chassis....you can see form my first pic, thats prob my limit for loading...
