I burn it in my insert after it has properly seasoned.
I have foud it to be a pain to split as it corkscrews when it grows.
I would look at it as in the same class as wild cherry and other fruit woods, definately not soft, but not as hard as oak or maple.

Outstanding wood, pops, and burns long. One at the top on the list of snobby wood gatherers, (that list includes me now that I am 3 years ahead now...).
Actually it has exactly the same btu content as red oak on those more detailed firewood btu charts on the internet.
Another thing to consider if you are into smoking meats on the BBQ, I think it is great for poultry applications and carries less risk than the other traditional fruitwoods for poultry like apple etc. which may be sprayed with pesticides.

Good job and asking the questions first but on this forum people burn ANYTHING...(that was a poke at all you pine burners out there 
I'm burning a lot of mulberry right now. I like it so far, this is my first experience with it. It does seem to produce a bit more ash than some of the other woods I've burned. Not sure why, but it's not really an issue. Plenty of BTU's though!!
I am burning locust right now for the first time..I like it too, burns hot and I was actually suprised that it has a pretty long burntime to it
