Once it's dry, yes it's good to burn. It's wood and not rotten.
Split it, stack it, cover it, wait a year, or two, and burn it.

Compare to fraxinus americana (white ash) just based on bark--a best guess without photos of leaves and branches

Also, if you take a look at the de-barked wood look for serpentine trails., indication of emerald ash boror

A good chance it is ash. If so it is great firewood.

Looks like ash to me! Great wood

 

[Jags]

Ash. Good middle to high end stuff in the stove.

Could also be Norway maple. More pics might confirm.

More than likely ash , if so split it and burn it . Good firewood . However , I agree could be Norway maple or possibly pignut .
I’ve cut so much dead ash here in mid Michigan ( and still cutting ) it’s a nice change to cut up something different .

No doubt here. White Ash.

i was told norway maple worth burning

Very possible to be Norway Maple. The following description is from the link I posted. Bark texture alone is sometimes not enough to ID.

Diamond Patterned Bark
Ash trees can often be recognized by their diamond-patterned, furrowed bark. Bark texture is most distinct on mature white ash, as in the photo on the left. Green ash has less prominent furrows, and the bark of black ash is corky and scaly looking. The bark of young white ash is fairly smooth, as in the photo to the right. Bark of young green ash is somewhat furrowed, as in the photo on the far right. Several tree have bark that is easily confused with ash. Oak, Norway maple, and elm are commonly mistaken for ash when looking at bark textures. While many tree species share one or two of these characteristics, only ash has all of these characteristics: 1. opposite branches-opposite buds 2. compound leaves 3. diamond-patterned bark

I was also thinking that one piece is some type of maple based on the markings on the face

I would have guessed norway maple from the bark but the wood itself looks ashy. Either way it's good wood although ash is better. I like norway maple for shoulder season wood.

Ash is in the maple family, that's why it looks like Norway maple, they're cousins.

 

[Stinkpickle]

The wood looks more like Norway maple, and it’s definitely worth burning at that price.

Looks like ash to me.

I'm down with Norway Maple. Not as good burning as ash, but I wouldn't kick it out of the woodpile. FWIW, ash has a distinct smell when you split it, but I can't really describe it. It splits really easy with a mall. Norway Maple will split a little harder, but not particularly hard to split either. Ash will season quicker than the maple.

looks like maple ash wood is whiter in color
