Willow

It spits so no good for an open fire.

Cheers mate, it's for a stove

18 to 24 months i'd like to see your log store. Most wood will be ready to burn in 4 months. Split and stored correctly

I've burnt loads of willow in our stoves . Yes it burns quicker than some , but it gives off good heat .

I cut mine to about 10" and they will season in around 6-9 months .

You can't claim willow to be the best wood to burn but it is OK if it is dried.

I'm running my house on willow at the mo and it's OK, even hot at times.

Surprised to hear it needs drying for 18-24 months cos mine was only cut down 12 months ago and is at 18%. Nothing of mine ever gets much lower, even the furniture in the house is 15%

Do you periodically split a table leg to check.....

Been burning Willow most of the winter here- stuff that was cut and split about 18 months ago. When we split it, water was running out of the logs. Dried well but isn't a very dense wood so although it burns well and gives off decent heat it seems like I'm forever loading the stove...
