Beech wood fires are bright and clear,

If the logs are kept a year.

Chestnut's only good, they say,

If for long it's laid away.

Birch and pine logs burn too fast,

Blaze up bright and do not last.

Elm wood burns like a church yard mold,

Ev'n the very flames are cold.

Poplar gives a bitter smoke,

Fills your eyes and makes you choke.

Apple wood will scent your room,

With incense like perfume.

Oak and maple, if dry and old,

Keep away the winter cold.

But ash wood wet and ash wood dry,

A king shall warm his slippers by.

Would not be my first choice- difficult to split, lower heat values than some other woods. Not bad, just not the best.

Can you burn willow in wood stove?

Drift wood can be used in a wood burning stove. It is not as efficient as other aged wood but it will burn. Drift wood is often collected on beaches to have bon-fires. Any wood that has been in the ocean will destroy your stove in a matter of months. I sell wood stoves. A fellow brought in his stainless steel baffle from a stove that he purchase from us less than 6 months earlier. He had been burning wood that had been in the ocean. I could literally crumble it in my hand.
