They say it's pretty terrible firewood but it's burns with a nice orange flame 🔥 [Linked Image]

Buckeye has one of the worst BTU ratings of any north American specie, even worse than white pine. I wouldn't waste my time processing it for the woodstove but would burn it in a fire pit if that's all that was available.

It's not even a good specie for woodworking due ti its plain Jane appearance and low density and strength. and it stinks when it's green. LOL


Eh...wot?

If it's free I'd use it, if it burns it will heat, might not be the best but it's better then nothing.
