Also with the locust bark- Last year I saved a bunch of it. I bundled some of it up in like small 10 inch bundles and tossed it on a bed of coals. I liked doing that. It would put out a quick burst of heat. I also used it as kindling.
FINALLY GOT A PIC POSTED!!

And I have noticed that there seems to be alot more of us Islanders here on Hearth, lately. It's good to know I am not the only wacko transforming his suburban backyard into a wood lot.
And you all seem to have stumbled into some black locust, must grow like weeds on the Island

Does the bark work well as kindling? I have mounds of locust bark I dumped out back.

It works pretty well as kindling. I filled up a few leaf bags and a landscaping bucket last year, and burned them all. The downfall is they stank when you burn them so I would usually mix them with other sorts of kindling.
