The cedar smells so good - even before burning.. Very fibrous though, usually after splitting it must be pulled apart. Burns well.

Ditto.OH man! I can smell it from here!
Love how quick it dries, and how good it smells.
I hate that everyone thinks of this as outdoor wood only. I run it in my woodstove. Smells great, burns well, dries quickly.
Thanks guys. Yes. It had a very strong Cedar smell when cutting it. I ended up with 3 Cedar trees yesterday. I never thought about burning Cedar till reading it here.
Nice firewood but the tree makes my allergies flare up just seeing it. Those Eastern Red Cedars are spreading like the plague in Oklahoma.

I give all of my wood at least a year before burning ... with eastern white cedar you may be able to burn it in less than a year. And yes ... it pops a lot like white pine.
