Best Answer

Black Oak is great firewood. It's nearly as good as White Oak, which (along with hickory) tops the list for firewood BTU output here in the Northeast.

Does weeping willow make good firewood?

No, it is not very good firewood. It's actually a softwood, like spruce, as opposed to a hardwood, like oak or maple - so it doesn't burn very cleanly. Not only will you probably see more smoke with willow (and more creosote build-up), but the amount of heat it produces is significantly low. Hope that helps!
