Anyone here burn Black Walnuts? Is it worth collecting and staining yourself? I harvested some to try eating a few years ago and it was definitely not worth it.

We just moved in our home in June. We have 3 black walnut trees in our yard......picked up literally 10 wheelbarrows full. Squirles must come from miles for them because they too are everywhere. I never considered them as a fuel source. Wouldn't they cause some bulid up in the pipe? How was the smell when they were burning? By the way, has anyone burned a squirel? How is their heat output? Smell?branchburner said:I tossed in a small load of about 60 whole black walnuts (2 years old) last night on top of a good bed of coals. They cranked... still pretty solid after nearly an hour, lots of heat - looked like a pile of charcoal briquets. The fat in them may have gone rancid, but the BTUs were sure there.
