Is it feasible to burn walnut logs on a log fire?


They burn very well indeed. An excellent firewood.

I understand some woods do not burn well to heat the house.


Mainly conifers, when used in open fires, because they spit.

A few others, like poplar and willow, burn so badly that they
are almost not self-sustaining.

A very few, like yew, burn so hot you can't get near them.

A very few, like SOME sumachs, give off toxic smoke.
