Sweet Chestnut any good to burn?

[Woodworks]

Got some left over from making up some fencing stakes and wondered how well it burns. I am sure I read on here somewhere that people did not like it but not sure why. And yes it will be dried properly.

It's very good imo, made a load of charcoal out of it awhile back and the blacksmiths loved it as it burned so hot.

Probably one of the most sustainable forms of firewood considering how well it coppices. Not good for open fires though as it spits embers

Burns really well, the real dead branches are very good to burn, but as James said it does spit.

So perfectly good but don't sell any to those with open fires.

 

Thanks

It's on both of my open fires right now, along with scots pine. It's been down for 12-18 months and not a scorch mark on the carpet. If it's not super seasoned it'll spit.

Its one of my favorite woods to burn, As I've said in previous posts. I love the smell of it.

I burn only sweet chestnut, can spit if a bit damp but when dry it's great.
