(sigh) You are SO smart Warren you ought to be a lawyer. I have got
NOTHING backwards. I understand fully the process, I was there. Were you?
No?
Let me put it simply so that even you can understand what I am saying.
They cut the wandoo into logs about a foot long, built up an oven which
could be sealed off, put the logs in and started a fire. OK? The wood
turns black, coke, charcoal, whatever, does it matter to be so finicky??
NO it doesn't we called it coke or charcoal. Coke worked just as well
anyway even if it came from coal and charcoal from wood. Same principle.
Let me correct you in one thing, I have never heard of eucalypts having
high resin content. Pine trees do. Gum trees have high oil content which
is a different matter, eucalyptus oil.
