>Eucalyptus
>high sap content
>smoke is really irritating
>too many embers
>only wood they sell in SoCal
>you can't legally harvest wood because it's a desert

>also, side note: eucalyptus trees fucking explode in wildfires
>also it comes from straya so you know it has to be as deadly as their spiders and poison and shit

I went camping with some friends in San Simeon state park at their little car camper campgrounds for the weekend and they sell it by the wheelbarrow at the little store they have there
On the last day we bought a second wheelbarrow, did our little teepee formation with all the wood we had left over. Yes, we used all of it
And no, they didn't sell any other type of wood "It's all eucalyptus" -The wood merchant
and lo we did not listen
>so many fucking embers
>just a fountain of them
>small coniferous forest had tons of needles and dry grass all over the ground
>floor covered with enough glowing confetti to anger a ranger
>irritating sap-smoke everywhere
>had to stand downwind of it to stamp out the sparks, which wouldn't be too bad
>still enough to manage
>but we knew smokey was watching
>"if it's too hot to touch it's too hot to leave" -some PSA about fire safety
>the words echoed through my head

moral of the story: eucalyptus is bitchwood, the bithcest of bitchwood

>is there a more vile and evil wood out there?
>other shitty wood?
>wood that should never be burned (besides the obvious like soft woods and green wood)
>what comes to mind when you hear the phrase "bitchwood"?
