Horse chestnut as firewood

Morning all, I have access to a recently felled horse chestnut tree. I have never logged or burned this before, does anyone have any experience of the species? How does it season and burn? I have capacity to season it for at least 2 years.

It depends how desperate you are.  Or splits ok and dries (it shouldn't rot!) But dries light. One of those pithy woods with not much to them so a lot of volume for not so much back.  It does burn though.

I've a couple of cube in my stack but only took it as I was building my relationship with another local tree guy (and since have had 3 mature oak trees).  If he called offering more, right now is pass.
