A guy on the wood stove forum posted this yesterday, as "Easy Access to Free Poplar." He said this happened during Hurricane Dorian.

I'd be interested if it was anything besides poplar.

I'd only be worried about it tickling the 6900 across the street.
NGAF about phone lines
As for burning popular, probably burns better than that sissyfied western fir, heating with juniper. Lmao

Poplar of course is not as good as white oak, but it serves a purpose very well and any experienced wood burner knows how to make it count. It does burn faster because it is lighter, and every single wood out there produces the same BTU per pound.

A lot of the guys on the wood stove forum burn poplar. They like it during "shoulder season," which is March and October when it isn't that cold. WTF? I have poplar all over my property and I have 48 acres. Once a year I whack a poplar just because it is in the way. I saw 'em up and throw 'em off the mountain. I have several big wood piles but why would I take up valuable wood pile space with crap firewood like poplar?

Several has died on my place, so I cut and split them. Early season, middle of the day, it burns and heats and is free!
BTW, what is this "wood stove" forum?

Very big difference in what regions refer to poplar.. in the east we have tulip poplar which is a hardwood... its no beech or oak, but I dont always want my stove jammed with wood that burns for 12hrs either. Tulip Poplar okay in my book, great for those October evenings you need to take the chill out but dont want the house 85* at 3am because the secondaries are still rolling...
Poplar from the north and west not the same thing at all...

https://www.hearth.com/talk/forums/the-hearth-room-wood-stoves-and-fireplaces.6/Here is the wood stove forum. I have been burning wood stoves since 1972. I have had 7 wood stoves, three of which I built myself. I thought I knew it all, but 10 years ago I joined this forum and these gear heads really took me to school. Not just this forum there are others on this web site, I often go to "The Wood Shed" where we talk about various kinds of firewood and how to build a good wood shed.
