An ash will have "opposite branching." I actually see alternate branching. NOT ash.
Looks more like a tutiptree (aka yellow poplar). Look for the distinctive leaves on the ground.

Not an Ash. But it will season quickly and you can burn it next fall. I'm burning almost exclusively tulip and white pine right now.

Yup, the bark says tulip poplar. I lived in the hill country of VA years ago where tulip poplars grow like weeds. Had a couple large forest poplars taken down in the front yard back then. Couldn't find a mill that wanted 'em so we bucked and split 'em for firewood.
Poplar burns quickly, I was all the time feeding the stove when we had it. If better firewood was available I wouldn't take a load of poplar for free, delivered and stacked by the door.

Tulip Poplar. I can see the distinctive seed heads that used to be the flowers. I think Tulip is decent firewood. It is a lot better than 'true' poplars. Yours looks like a tall tree. Tulip Poplar is one of the tallest trees in the eastern US.
