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)
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 burns very hot. Many find the smell unpleasant, but it is as safe as any other wood to burn.

quite good to burn indeed!
Locust wood will burn faster, it is softer than oak.
No, it's very poisonous.
no. It is very harsh. fire.
Yes, you can burn apple wood in a fireplace. It generates very little smoke and hotter than normal firewood. It is a good heat output with a small visible flame and ideal for wood-fire. It is a safely and efficiently burned in fireplace.
Wood pellets are intended to burn under a forced draft. They will not burn as well in a fireplace- why not use regular firewood? It is much less expensive than the wood pellets, and will burn as well in a fireplace. PS- a fireplace is a very poor choice for heating a home.
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
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.
I do.
