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.

Hot enough to burn wood.
With a magnifying glass
The wood in a match can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit).
Locust wood is excellent firewood due to its high density and slow-burning properties. It produces a lot of heat energy and burns for a long time with little sparking or popping. However, it can be challenging to split due to its density, so ensure you have the proper tools for handling locust 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.

A wood fire can burn at temperatures ranging from 600 to 900 degrees Celsius (1,112 to 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit).
Creosote is not created- it is naturally in the wood. A "cool" burn lets the creoste present in the smoke condense on the walls of the chimney. With a hot burn, the flue gasses are hot enough that less is deposited on the chimney. Wet wood gives a cooler burn.
