Laburnum any good to burn?

[Deb]

Peoples thought's on Laburnum for logs?

 

I read somewhere it's not great and has an akrid smoke!

 

Anyone any experiance with it?

[pie eater pete]

Maybe ok on a closed appliance doubt I'd have it on an open fire.

I'v only ever burnt it in a wood burner so cant comment on its acridity.

 

However in my experience its a dense wood that burnt well and long.

I burnt a very well seasoned one on an open fire, burnt well didn't notice any nasty smoke

All the wood turners will freak when they see this thread, I sell any I get to a local wood turner as they seem to love the stuff:)

seasoned it burns great i`m burning some right now!!!!

 

it last a good while too!!

 

the akrid smoke smells like canabis!!!!! but i can only smell it outside the house!!! i guess the smell might not be the wood it could be the next door neighbour playing with his bong!!!

crying shame to burn it! lovely dark brown timber in the centre,,,I use it all for turning,,, need to leave it in the length though as tends to split in short bits,,,,stunning milled for jewerly boxs too,,,,,

Wood turners will take even very small stuff as they can turn spindles from it. A guy I sell bigger wood to will buy any laburnum bigger than 3" diameter.

 

Have you got the hint 'don't burn it' yet?!
