Does anyone on here cook using fire? If so what is your favourite wood to use?
Also does anyone know if you can cook using bottlebrush wood?

Just dont use chep palets.
Curiously for a North American organisation, CHEP evolved from an initiative developed by the Australian government during the Second World War. When American troops returned home after 1945, they left behind millions of U.S. Navy issue blue pallets at their former military bases. The Australian government established CHEP, selling it in 1958 to Brambles, an Australian company with a worldwide presence, though it's predominantly in the North American market.
companies actually lease the pallets from CHEP. if pallets are lost then the company is charged $24. A few years ago Bunnings was ordered by a NSW court to pay $11million to CHEP for 65,000 pallets they had lost
65k . Thats a big bon fire. Let the heavens glow green!
Classic. Even for Bunnings, losing 65,000 pallets cannot be easy. They could have saved $9,440,000 by paying promptly!
make sure the wood (timber) hasnt been treated, dont want to poison yourself.
a lot of crates etc are treated.hard wood is the best.

^This…and it doesn't have to be a particularly confined space to happen either.
An acquaintance of mine killed himself burning treated logs on an outdoor BBQ…not enough ventilation in the pergola area, found dead by family.
Geez, that's pretty sad. Poor bugger.
you can cook with any wood. the best wood which my father in law uses (beef farmer bordering the murray river ) is from trees grown up on the hills. he ha both a wood fired stove/water heater and combustion heater. Whilst he access to multiple fallen Murray river red gums on his property (and he does cut it for fire wood) he has always said the trees that grow where there is less water will be denser and will burn hotter and longer.
