What to do?

[FireAnt]

Been working on the wood piles over the summer and trying to figure out what to do with a tree I can get. Pics to come soon.

Neighbor cut down a good size birch a couple months ago. Got that split and stacked.
Picking up a decent size Ash this week.
Got a Hickory all cut up just needs to be split
Pile of 5" Norway Maple rounds
Buddy of mine has a couple loads of Elm he doesn't want to split so he's giving it to me.
Cottonwood that will take quite some time to process
45' Oak I have been working on.

The question is. My parents neighbor has a Pretty big Tulip Poplar they want to cut down. I keep and process my wood at my parents house. The tree is right there do I take it??

Of course you do, seems like you need more work! ;-)

18 million btu's a cord.

It all burns... Tulip Poplar at around 16 MBTU? per cord still has 2/3 the BTU content of red oak so its still not too bad. No, it's not overnight wood, but it works great for fires in the fall/spring when you don't need too much heat. It splits extremely easy. I just split and stacked a half cord yesterday after work by hand, in 90 degree weather.

I have a whole TP tree at the neighbors house that I'm going to take here soon, just after I get done will all his oak, maple, and ash trees
