It might be interesting if someone else also burns that stuff and has a good supply of different types of wood to compare with. But, as long as it burns and it sounds like it beats cottonwood and pine.
YOu are actually doing an admirable thing cutting down and burning Russian Olive, it is a non-native and it is on the Invasive Species lists and it's sale/use is banned, or proposed to be banned, in many states. Another potentially invasive plant with probably similar BTUs/burn value is it's cousin: Autumn Olive.
