It is a top pick for everyone who knows about quality firewood because it generates a hot fire while emitting a low amount of smoke and does not produce much creosote in the process if seasoned correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are worried about the fire burning too intense (which can happen), mix it in with different woods and don\u2019t stock the stove full with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/322266920_CORRECT_COMBUSTION_BLACK_LOCUST_ROBINIA_PSEUDOACACIA_L_WOOD_IN_BOILER_A_LOW-TEMPERATURE_LOW_POWER\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black locust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fire-characteristics-of-black-locust\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fire_Characteristics_Of_Black_Locust\"><\/span><a><\/a>Fire Characteristics Of Black Locust<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-creosote-build-up\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Creosote_Build-Up\"><\/span><a><\/a>1.&nbsp;&nbsp; Creosote Build-Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creosote is a byproduct of wood burning. Burning wood deposits a tar-like material inside the chimneys or anywhere near where it is frequently used over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creosote accumulation can obstruct your chimney\u2019s circulation and lead to unannounced fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black locust is excellent firewood in this regard because it has lesser sap levels and produces less creosote than other highly sappy hardwoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-amount-of-smoke\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Amount_Of_Smoke\"><\/span>2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Amount Of Smoke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever black locust firewood is seasoned correctly, it emits relatively little smoke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black Locust is ubiquitous since it produces very little smoke, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that wet wood can produce a lot of smoke when burnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-does-it-produce-coals-and-why-it-is-important\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Does_It_Produce_Coals_And_Why_It_Is_Important\"><\/span><a><\/a>3.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does It Produce Coals And Why It Is Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, black locust produces high-quality coals. Black locust is, without a doubt, the best sort of wood for burning. It makes an impressive 27.9 million BTUs of heating every cord of seasoned wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, it is enough energy to heat 27.9 million lbs of water by one degree Farrenheit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-ok-to-burn-black-locust-in-a-fireplace\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Ok_To_Burn_Black_Locust_In_A_Fireplace\"><\/span><a><\/a>Is It Ok To Burn Black Locust In A Fireplace?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black locust is one of the best choices when selecting wood to <a href=\"https:\/\/forestry.ok.gov\/sites\/g\/files\/gmc801\/f\/documents\/2020\/firewood_-_how_to_obtain_measure_and_burn.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burn in a fireplace<\/a>. Since it is of high quality, emits little to no soot, has a characteristic of generating less smoke, and does not throw sparks, black locust works best in this regard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-to-season-black-locust-firewood\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_to_Season_Black_Locust_Firewood\"><\/span><a><\/a>How Long to Season Black Locust Firewood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, Black Locust can be seasoned in 6-8 months in ideal conditions. However, seasoning Black Locust is to its recommended moisture level below 20% is usually accomplished over a year and a half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-black-locust-firewood-expensive\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Black_Locust_Firewood_Expensive\"><\/span><a><\/a>Is Black Locust Firewood Expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparably, black locust is expensive. Other woods are cheaper and easier to grow, making them less valuable. However, black locust takes time to season and lasts long enough for an average user who values it at a higher price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One cord of black locust will set you back around 425 dollars of seasoned firewood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros-and-cons-of-using-black-locust-as-firewood\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_and_Cons_of_Using_Black_Locust_as_Firewood\"><\/span><a><\/a>Pros and Cons of Using Black Locust as Firewood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black locust has more pros than cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It is excellent firewood because it produces less smoke, more heat, and a high amount of coal.<\/li><li>The wood doesn\u2019t rot easily<\/li><li>It provides the best value for money.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the cons are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It is not easyly available<\/li><li>Black Locust typically takes a lot more time to grow than other woods<\/li><li>It is considered pricy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-black-locust-is-compared-to-other-firewood\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Black_Locust_Is_Compared_to_Other_Firewood\"><\/span><a><\/a>How Does Black Locust Is Compared to Other Firewood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Black locust produces the most heat in respect to other wood.

Black locust is the best in this regard because it doesn\u2019t release an intolerable smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_Faqs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Black Locust good indoor firewood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it is the best choice, though because it burns intensely, it is recommended to mix it with <a href=\"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/is-sycamore-good-firewood\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lower-tier firewood like Sycamore<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the difference between softwood and hardwood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardwoods, such as oak, walnut, and maple, are vascular trees that reproduce with a blooming plant. Gymnosperm trees, including conifer, produce softwoods. Plants, such as pines and evergreens, have needle-like foliage that stays fresh all year rather than broad leaflets that fall every year. Trees that produce hardwood grow slowly, which means these trees are denser. The perfect example of a dense and durable hardwood tree is \u201cBlack Locus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\"><b>H<\/b><\/span>ardwoods are generally acquired from broadleaved trees such as hickory, maple or oak. Hardwood has a slower growth rate and is typically more expensive. Softwood on the other hand has a lower density and faster growth rate than most hardwoods. softwood would be trees like pine, spruce, and cedar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I only use seasoned firewood for burning?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended to only use seasoned firewood for burning, especially in an indoor fireplace because of the amount of smoke and creosote green wood produces. Furthermore, greenwood does not burn as hot. The wet or moist nature of the firewood hinders its efficiency to generate heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to store firewood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, always stack the firewood properly. This way, it is less likely to get infested with pests or other creatures. Secondly, make sure to keep it dry, in any case. Use a stable placing technique and avoid putting them haphazardly. Build a foundation to store the firewoods properly. Moreover, do not make the mistake of keeping the firewood indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to measure moisture content in my firewood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/General-Tools-MMD4E-Moisture-High-Medium-Low\/dp\/B00275F5O2\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=moisture+measuring+meter7&amp;qid=1641475136&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moisture measuring meter<\/a>, push the conductors of the device into the wood.
