Not completely green if cut and split 3 months ago. I dont know much about Eucalyptus wood, but some species like black cherry, even recent dead elm will dry out considerably in that amount of time. Also consider where you are, not so cold or humid there, good drying conditions. Fresh cut and split will be much worse. Also, bring in the next round or 2 of what you'll burn, put by stove, will help immensely. That and keep the flue temp up, dont choke off the fire too much. I can mix in wood with higher moisture and never get any creosote to speak of. I wont burn fresh cut wood still laden with sap. My worst enemy is time, most of my wood is dead when cot, but with water moisture that needs to dry out. I can put pieces near the stove with no checking on ends and by morning is plenty dry. I've got numerous stacks of 8' sticks near the house that is small diameter to finish season, I cut and cover, bring inside a bunch, in a few days it's very good to burn, some is ready as is, other needs to dry, I mix, keep flue temp up and check my stack for excess smoke, adjust damper and combustion air accordingly or it will make lots of smoke. I am very attentive to not smoking out the neighborhood. Once a new fire gets going, it clears quickly, all about paying attention to the firebox
