Anyone burn honeysuckle?

OliverGuy · Feb 3, 2014

I cut a couple wheelbarrows of 4 to 6 inch around pieces last year. They seem really heavy still, but I can't find any btu output data. I'm going to try some tonight. I thought I would try to burn some, it's thick through all the fence rows here and is basically a weed. It feels so heavy that maybe it's just as good or better than my normal types of wood? Anyone burn this before?

If it's dry, should burn about like poplar, not much heat. Word of warning, make sure it ain't poison Ivy!

I haven't burned it in a stove but have set the vines afire in fence rows and it burned hot and fast like gas was poured on it.

It grows really healthy in this virgin ground in fence rows! It's mostly not that big, but a few of the buggers grow well.

When we were kids, smoke a bunch of grapevine but never tried Honeysuckle. ;^{)

The past couple of years I've cleaned a bunch of it around the timber. At the beginning just piled it up and burnt everything. Decided it was a waste, so bought a good self-feeding chipper, a 28 ton splitter and have since fed all the big stuff thru the wood stove. Pretty light wood when it gets dry so yours is wet. Need to split and let it age for 6 months or so. Otherwise no problem.
