If it's the same as the chestnut we have in the UK then yeah it is really light and has similar characteristics to softwood. I've got some stacked for next year but not burned any yet. It provides a low/med heat.

All wood has about the same energy per weight as any other. A lighter wood simply means more loadings to get the same heat than a dense hard wood. Else, they all do fine in any stove.

I would not go out of my way to get it. I dropped one on my property and burned it......burned a lot as campfire wood. Ok for shoulder season.....
