Pearl Bigelow wrote:Re: eucalyptus as firewood....about 50 years ago my family lived at the edge of about 30 acres of eucalyptus trees and we used the branches that blew down and various thinnings as firewood. My father later told me that when green it was some of the wettest and heaviest wood he had ever handled but it cut and split very easily. However, once it dried it was like trying to split a rock. Very hard and burned very hot. So be sure you work it up before it dries out.

The ondol used a direct thermosiphon with the fire source below the floor level, and when used with coal briquettes when wood sources disappeared, was associated with significant deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. So, maybe you need to seal the floor with modern materials rather than clay, and tiles.
