I tend to agree that it likely is magnolia. Leaves are the right shape but do not appear as thick. Horse chestnut leaves have toothed margins.
Magnolia. The leaves are simple, not five-parted like Horsechestnut. In the photo there are a number of leaves all emerging from near the end of each twig, so it looks sort of like the leaves are all part of one compound leaf, but they aren't. Each leaf has a short stem attached to the twig.
This one is perhaps Sweetbay Magnolia, but there are other Magnolias that it might be. I think it will be mid-range firewood in terms of BTUs

I thought maybe Saucer Magnolia. It is "widely planted," and the leaf is "broader toward the abruptly short-pointed tip," according to The Audubon Guide.

The one BTU rating I saw said 18 for magnolia ... Curious as to what moisture reading you start off with. Do you have a meter?
