Not as good as oak or hickory, but much better than some other woods. We use a fair amount of it mixed with oak. It is very difficult to split, but burns well when seasoned.

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.
