OK thanks. Yea I had put some in my OWB with some ash I been burning. I have quite a few of these BL trees I was thinking of cutting down.
 
I am not convinced it is Black Locust. I'd say it looks more like Mulberry or Osage Orange. The wood looks too orange for Black Locust.
 
Also leaning toward BL. But in the one pic it does look a little strange. Give us a pic of the splits stacked up. That will confirm an id. Make sure to show end grain.
 
I will get some more pics this weekend and post. I will have to get pics of the grain so you can look at as I have non split as I don't need to as I can put as big as round as I can lift in my OWB.
 
Here is a couple pics of the end grain.

That end shot is BL. Nice tight grain.
