Thanks for all the input! I usually have a mixture of wood but this year is different. We where cleaning all of our RZR trails and all that seemed to fell during the storm was locust. I ended up dragging 11 or 12 logs down out of the woods. I'll take what ever I can get. Didn't cost me a dime other than gas, oil and chain.

well been burning it. My tarp blew off in our last wind storm last weekend. With the rain and wind my wood pile got soaked. starting up and keeping it going it kind of a hard task till it drys back out. I have to say it does keep the stove warm for a longer period of time. The time I went to bed and got up the stove was still a nice temp after 8 hours with a small load in the stove.
Of the wood choices I have, oak, ash, cherry, maple, birch, Locust hands down give the longest burn with the most coals lasting the longest. I find freakin locust coals the next day sometimes!

I burned my first Locust splits of the season last night. Gooooood stuff! It was dead fall cut in the spring of 2010. Super dry and lit right up on a bed of coals. I like Red Oak, But love the Black Locust.
