Im in the process of my anual cutting and splitting my "shoulder" season wood that I get for free. It contains poplar, hemlock, some pine, and any tree that i can get. I dont know about some of you, but i seperate these from the good stuff. I burn it all winter. I find this stuff great for when I get home from work at 530PM I load it up with my less than desirable wood, and by almost bedtime its ready for a reload with the good stuff for a good overnite burn. Works great! Ill take all i can get! Like many people on here, if its a tree ill burn it!
