as long as it is real wood and no additives...burn it...i have heated a whole winter of willow before. it takes more but if it is free all you are out is the time it takes to put it in the stove.  i just put more in at each visit but normally i was still able to get by on 2 fillings a day
Its just like burning popular. Fill the stove a little more and get by with a 2 fillings a day..Never deny free wood!

Oh I wouldnt dream of saying no to that deal like I said I prefer hardwood and will use that if I get it but I won't worry if I have to burn a little poplar either :thumbup:
