[markstuarttosdevine]

hi is willow any good for chopping up and making into firewood?

[Johny Walker]

make sure its dryed thru propaly ,& keep it dry ,some folk recommend just for closed fires & not open

[liamjordan]

we sell loadsss of it!!! once its dry it burns well, burnt it on our wood burner most of the winter along with poplar another wood people think is crap

We had the chance of two artic loads early last year,nothing over 10" dia,the price was right so we went for it.Split it in long lengths to dry.Sold the lot by Xmas and everyone who tried it wanted more.It was very dry.

Once it's properly dry Willow burns well. We burn quite a bit in enclosed stoves, so we have no problem if it does spit.

 

It's another one of those firewood 'myths'. My brother was given a 5 cubes trailer load by a neighbouring dealer, all cut and split and delivered, because none of his customers would touch it and he wanted space in his yard!

i have been burning some from 2 summers ago, it burns super hot, doesn't last the longest though because of this, but its wood and it burns if its dry as all woods do.

All together now,

 

Wood burns, water doesn't

[MattyF]

Crack willow burns the best and splits the most easy,all willow burns to fast though imo
