I remember a website where the guy advocated planting poplar for firewood. You staggered the plantings annually and could start cutting wood to burn after the first plantings were 5 years old. The next year you cut the second bunch of trees and the first ones would start growing back from the roots, and so on. I decided not to do that as poplar doesn't burn hot enough for our cold winters. The guy did address that by saying you just burned more wood.

Yes, bamboo could cause issues with a rocket stove - but not if it is split into splints, or if the side branches are used. Even when split, bamboo is just kindling to most stoves.

Also, for general consideration, bamboo can be far more productive than wood (10-30% increase in biomass per year for bamboo vs. 3-5% for most trees).

May or may not be an issue for some folks:
Bamboo has air pockets so larger bamboo does a lot of serious popping in the fire place if not split first

I used to live in the Pacific Northwest and work in a hybrid poplar research lab. Now compared to a traditional forest setting, a hybrid poplar clone (often a P. deltoidies - P. trichocarpa cross, sometimes others) can, in the right setting, produce four times the fiber per acre.
