Locust wood will burn faster, it is softer than oak.
Yes, it burns very hot. Many find the smell unpleasant, but it is as safe as any other wood to burn.
Seasoned locust is one of the best firewoods known. The heat value of seasoned black locust is close to the heat value of anthracite coal.

Yes: it is a relatively soft wood, so it may burn hot and fast.
Hot enough to burn wood.
locust trees are an invasive species I live in northern US. Locust is one of the most dense and heaviest hardwoods I've heard from some of the local Amish in the area that it is also good wood for furniture. Its dense qualities make it an ideal hot and long burning fuel when seasoned right. I hope this helps you. I burn this wood myself
One way for a fire to burn at a different temperature is it's wood soft wood such as pine burn fast and hot but hard wood such as muscle wood burns slower and cooler but still hot enough to burn you so don't touch it
With a magnifying glass
Depending on what you mean by "better", it doesn't burn better. It might burn longer but it is much harder to ignite, and does not burn as hot as less-dense wood.
absolutely....one of the best, in my opinion..I have been heating with wood for 32 years, and get very good results using locust for burning in my woodstove. It seems to fall somewhere between oak and hickory, as far as, density, btu's, and lasting qualities. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
