I'm pretty sure this is some kind on elm, It was dead and I took it down today. Upset because the bark looked like oak but definitely notView attachment 183512View attachment 183513View attachment 183514

You beat me by just a few minutes!!aspen (aka poplar). guessing bigtooth (Populus grandidentata) by the bark texture. never burned any, but I gather it's quick-drying & quick-burning
Aspen is NOT 'poplar' ! Aspen (populous grandidentata) which is sometimes called 'popple' or 'quaking ash' is a tree most commonly used for pulpwood, shavingswood, or sawn into pallet lumber.
yellow Poplar (liriodendron tulipifera) is a big tall straight timber tree commonly harvested for sawlogs.
not trying to be a but I just wanted to clear up any confusion
Everyone on here is correct about yellow/tulip poplar versus those in the Populus genus. They're both lower-end firewoods, in terms of density and BTU content. I've got tons of tulip poplar trim in my house (clear finish, beautiful with its yellow/green/brown heartwood) and a friend of mine has cucumber tree (a close relative of tulip poplar) cabinets, which are beautiful. Tulip poplar is often used for structural wood in upholstered furniture and inside cabinets. Also, the bark is used for siding, and holds up well.
