As having burned wood for heat during the last several winters I have experienced burning of the wood from a Horse chestnut tree. I had half of one go down in my yard, and the following heating season, I burned the wood from that tree. It has a very pleasant aroma, which is kind of difficult to surmise, but one can get a sense of nostalgia from it. It heats and burns relatively long, but does not burn as long as a hard oak. I would still recommend someone burn Horse Chestnut, if they desired a good, long-lasting, great smelling hard wood to burn, this would be an ideal candidate!
