Besides dead what type of tree is this? Is it worth burning?

One with perhaps poison Ivy on it, too far away to ID bark
 
It's a vine, but not poison ivy... I'll get a better picture when I get home
 
Could be butternut - they're dying left and right on account of the canker.
 
dead sugar maple with poison ivy for extra btu's and security
 
The arched branches indicate maple. Bark is similar to maple from what I can tell.
 
I cannot recall what dead maple looks like. But I would say Elm because Elm limbs curl when water leaves the wood. If the limbs all point in toward trunk of tree on top, I would say Elm. Also I dont think Maple grows those lower epicormic branches.
Cannot see the bark so its just a wild guess.
 
But going outside I found a similar tree with maple leaves, so I think you guys are right. Great news maple burns well

Looks a lot like elm to me.
 
I think I am going to drop it on sat, pics to follow
 
Looks like maple to me. Knock it down and buck it up...it'll burn regardless.
 
Yay - Maple
 
Lol I had gone over to the elm camp.....didn't split like maple
 
Elm or Maple I don't know
Looks like BTU's to me
 
American Elm. The arched branches, bark pattern, and brown, stringy wood are ID points. The vine is Asiatic Bittersweet.
