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.

Why doesn't the wood stove heat like it use to?
there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a stove that doesn't heat like it used to. It is in the wood that you are using. Maybe this load of wood is not as seasoned as the loads you used before. Any moisture left in unseasoned wood will reduce the heat of the fire and make the stove seem like it is not heating. Or maybe this load of wood is a different kind of wood than in the past. If you used Oak, Ash and Black Locust in the past, and are using Maple now, or Elm or Sycamore, it will not burn as hot. These woods burn faster but with less heat.
