Lime

[Bird]

Is lime good firewood?

[Starscream]

I wouldn't think so, it's a soft wood so can imagine when it's dry it will burn very quickly. But at the same time any wood is good to burn really. I know a guy who heats his small home solely from his fireplace and he will burn anything he can get his hands on.

Splits & dries nicely. Burns well, I rather like it.

I thought lime was a hardwood?

[Lazurus]

If you have a local carver they pay a premium for it!

I burn it, it's ok, not sure I'd buy it but I wouldn't throw it on the rubbish pile (pine, pop etc)

Good firewood in my experience.

Lime is a hardwood but it is quite light when dry and soft to cut which I think is what the op means. All wood burns as long as it's dry. I would burn it no problem

[Mick Dempsey]

I have found that as a tree surgeon you usually get two sorts, straight as a die regrowth which is easy to cut/split for a woodburner, or oversize half rotten pollard heads/trunks which aren't worth the effort to process.

Yeah sorry, I mean 'it is soft' when cutting so didn't think there'd be much substance to the burn compared to oak for instance!
