burning fence posts

I was cutting firewood last weekend and realized that the brush pile beside me was full of old locust fence posts ,most of them in good shape ,now since their just going to be burned one way or the other is there any reason why they wouldn't make good fire wood? There not treated posts and I know to watch out for nails so what do I have to loose here?
 
We have quite a few locust clusters in our area.
My father always had us clear out the lots and
we cut some trees into fence posts. Whatever was
left over was cut for firewood. If dry they make
excellent firewood. Locust burns for a long time
and generates great heat.
 
If you are have'n any thoughts of splitting them, better eat a real big bowl of wheaties! As every one else said, they get hot. When granddad had a wood burner, we would cut up all the tops when we were cutting post for fire wood.
