Firewood: Known for its massive trunk, bracatinga performs well as firewood, as its texture makes it highly flammable. Coal: As with firewood, this log is very efficient when used as charcoal. When applied to barbecues, charcoal takes time to extinguish. Construction: The rigidity of its trunk makes it often traded for construction.
