Good morning all,
First time poster, first winter with wood heat! Looking forward to learning as much as possible. I've already picked up a ton of tips on this site.
My roommates and I came across a ton of free wood as a result of Hurricane Irene. We just moved in to the house in August so I doubt any of this stuff is going to be ready to burn this year.
I was hoping some of you could chime in as to what kind of wood you think this is. Reason I ask is because it is HELL to split. Yes, it's still green, but I've split some other wood in the picture below by hand just fine. It seemed to be some type of ash or birk.
Any thoughts? I'm particularly asking about the large logs to the right with the coarse textured bark.
There are some very large rounds that were left at the house which I believe to be the same species.
The only thing we've been told is that 90% of the trees that came down during the hurricane were tulip poplars. Nothing specific about this wood though.
Thanks in advance for any help!
