It is a GREAT wood for wood stoves, with heat values similar to anthracite coal. However, it has a tendency to "spit" burning coals a good distance. Be sure to use a screen, be careful of health issues some folks have with bark. (skin contact)

Is a locust tree good firewood?

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


Can you burn cedar in the fireplace?

Yes! you can burn any wood, if you are burning for supplementary heat anyway. If wood is your only heat source, i would suggest oak, locust, or hickory. they are the best. easy to split and produce a lot of heat and last a while. cherry is a good one too. Bradford pear is decent wood. i rank it as about as good as maple or gum, which is fairly decent. definitely beats poplar. anyway don't burn pine, the creosote will clog your chimney. but heck yea burn the Bradford pear and get something out of it. they break so easily.
