We use a lot of Popular lumber for interior trim. Paint grade. Also for cabinets . Seems like soft maple wood be close to the same density. Where is Cashking when we need him? Popla is softer wood ain’t wurthafuck for firewood Ah, thats bullshit. Wood burns. Dry it, it burns. Not hot enough, burn more. People get too caught up on 10-20% BTU difference. its wood, if you arent paying for it, who cares. Just burn it. I'm swimming in ash, oak, and beech here, but I'll burn anything thats not a conifer or sycamore. Sycamore smells like ass. He sure does.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Judging by the country in the pictures and the logs on the trailer. it could be Silver Maple.
Most likely cut down along a river or stream, in a town park or graveyard.

https://tacf.org/The American Chestnut Foundation is here in Asheville. They are trying to restore the American chestnut tree. I found a big chestnut tree growing next to Sweetwater Road. I cut off a 10 inch branch that had green leaves on it. I took it down to the ACF office. They ran a DNA test on it, and found that this tree is Chinese and not American.

There is a tree nursery here in PA that is pretty close to developing a blight resistant chestnut. Some have already been planted out and about. Most of the old barns around here have chestnut beams in them

I don't mess with poplar, not enough BTU per cord. Oak is almost twice as good. There is only so much room in my woodpiles, why take up space with mediocre wood.

Popla is softer wood ain’t wurthafuck for firewood Brd, Poplar wont hold up to nice oak for heating, but it actually makes a really nice campfire wood. Easy to split, easy to light, and doesn't smoke like some of the other woods when you're sitting around a campfire. You get plenty of heat out of it, just not the BTU's of oak for heating. I got 3 big tops up back of my house I'm gonna cut up and put back for campfire wood this summer.
