Horse chestnut as firewood - yes/no?

[port alberni]

I will be cutting down a horse chestnut tree. I am wondering if anyone has ever used horse chestnut in a wood stove in their home. I don't need hot burning wood as the frontroom is small where i have the stove - but I am worried about creosote and other problems associated with burning this wood. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks

Here is a wood listing. Look at buckeye.

Horse Chestnut,
Good flame and heating power but spits a lot.
