Does anyone know if the California pepper tree is good for firewood for
a home heating wood stove?

Compared to what? Hauling it to a landfill? Yah-sure it's good, once
cut, split, seasoned, dried.

is soft, burns fast but clean when dried.

Seeing as how he posted this ten years ago, I'm guessing it's either
cured or has died of its original malady!
