Anybody use popcorn wood?

I was told that popcorn wood is very good to burn, just wondering if it's true or another urban legend. I have lots of popcorn trees around but don't want to mess with it if it's alot of trouble. I can't imagine it being anywhere close to oak or pecan. Thanks

Doesn't grow around here, but I found this:

Firewood Crops: Shrub & Tree Species for Energy Production

"Energy values ranged from 4134 to 4277 kcal/kg. The wood burns well in wood stoves or fireplaces..."

Edit: it looks like its density is in the Butternut to Douglas Fir range, so fairly soft and light.

I've never heard of a popcorn tree (but I do know that burned popcorn doesn't taste good). I would like to see a pic of these trees for my own edification.

Thanks for the link Jon1270. Interesting. Mentions that the wood is sometimes used in Texas for BBQ.

Thanks for the link, quite informative. Just goes to show you that even an old dog can learn a new trick.

Happy to be of service. Now I need to go do something more tangibly productive...

Be cautious. Its wood seems to be toxic. I would read up on it before doing anything.

Never heard of it before.
Now that I have.
It's wood, it's BTUs, It'll burn

PS: Keep the stove door closed when burning. LOL
