JFeve81 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I just cut down a Mimosa tree that's been dead in my front yard for about a year now. I work slow LOL. Just wondering if it would be better to use it as charcoal for burst, lift, spark or just as firewood to cook the better charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There are a few obscure references on google that it makes excellent BP charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabdacrab Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There are a few obscure references on google that it makes excellent BP charcoal. That's something I can add to my temporary knowledge bank! Is it generally a light wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warthog Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I thought a mimosa was a drink made with orange juice and champagne. Shows what I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFeve81 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hmmm. I'll have to make a batch of black powder with it and see what it does then. If it turns out good I have 3 other trees that need pruning and/or cutting down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
