Burning English walnut

[pafire]

Hey, I told my wife that I would inquire here about burning english walnut. This english walnut tree got blown over by a storm on a friends property last winter. We burn with wood using a fireplace insert. Can we use this or is it best to be left for a bon fire?
And , I appreciate all the comments, good, or bad.

Based on BTU charts I think it is a good, not great, firewood (B+). Maybe others will chime in who have burned it. It might have more value at the mill too.

its ok for firewood, just let it dry for awhile

Man, if it has any size to it, get it milled into lumber!! I WISH I had an English walnut tree here to mill! I wouldn't even consider burning any decent English log!

short on flame and coals, just seems to turn to ash kind of like dry sassafras. Mix it with good hardwood and it will be fine.If I knew somebody with a mill I would do a swap for something, can be beautiful wood so burning seems like a waste tome

Mill it

Mill it

yea a tree that big should have been milled, but the tree service that cut it to remove from their house cut it in 4' lenghts and smaller, anyway I cut into firewood today

Yeah, if they sectioned off that small, it's too small to mess with milling.

Well, just enjoy the firewood now!

I would have GLADLY milled it!

Something spl. like english, 4' or longer ALL goes on my mill!
