Cottonwood seasoned for 18 months burns good in my Locke Warm Morning stove. My hazardous gas monitor has never detected anything resulting from the burning of cottonwood. Go for it.
If you check some of the BBQ sites you will see warnings not to use GREEN cottonwood for smoking meats due to toxins that may be released. I am not aware of any issue with burning dried wood for heat. Unless you are in a tee-pee, the smoke will be carried up your chimney/flue.
No. Whoever told you this knows nothing about firewood and keeping a building, a shack, a cabin, or a teepee warm by burning cottonwood. That person has also never sat around a campfire either. Pity.:msp_thumbdn:I was told today that burning cottonwood is toxic and should not be burned. Has any heard this before?
