Don't forget to open the flue and I think you'll be fine.

Walnut makes perfectly good firewood; one of the best in fact.

I've even smoked meat with it.

The hardest part is finding a pipe big enough.
Burned a rather large Tulip Popular and a bit of ash today clean up still in progress. I have a 14' White pine log about 20" at one end
30" at the other, but I need transport to the mill.Mark
I knew some wise guy was going say something like that! Ok, how about this: Whenever I fell a walnut tree, the wood is so purty I try to make lumber out of the *whole damn thing*, even all that squirrely upper canopy stuff. I've got enough spoons, dowels, pens, and toothpicks to supply the whole planet for 10 years! :-)

But from the sound of things, you might be the only comedian. (grin)

Probably fine.
Walnut wood shavings or sawdust has to be kept away from horses, as some chemical compound in it causes severe hoof problems.
And the leaves, nuts, and roots contain juglone, which is toxic to at least other plants.

Awww.. that's so sweet. Anybody that serves Erdinger on draught near your neck of the woods?
Maybe not, but you've got your own personalized category. :)
Can't answer that. I've never heard of Erdinger, much less tasted it. I'll remember the name though and see what I can find. I'm a run of the mill Sleeman Creme ale drinker. Yup, boring as hell, but there you go.
However, if you manage to source out a local watering hole that's wheelchair accessible, I'll be happy to buy you a mug or two.
