Is it OK to use ONLY Kiawe firewood?
#4
In the past the problem I have had with Kiawe is the bugs it seems to always have. Maybe it's only the rare times I have had a few logs brought to me by folks with kind hearts that come from makai and bring 'some old wood we thought you'd enjoy adding to your firewood pile' but there have always been some sort of boring type beetle? or some such that I have feared would then get free in my environment (predominantly very old growth ohia) so I have always shied away from importing wood from sources outside my own type of forest. Not to say I 'know' exactly what I am talking about, but only to suggest caution.

I also collect exotic hardwoods for shop use and have never had this problem with milled lumber, but with firewood I've seen it a lot.
