Again trees in the yard, not sure what they are and if they are good to burn.

Elm? Based on leaves; I'm just getting my guess on record!
 
beech
 
That smooth, grey bark is definitely Beech. The leaves are similar to Elm but lack the asymmetrical base of an elm leaf.
 
Smooth bark like an elephant equals beech! Good stuff! :)
 
definately beech. One of the better tight-grained hardwoods, IMHO. I have lots of it in the stacks...
 
That would be beech. Great for firewood and seasons faster than oak.
 
Oh well. I'll catch on eventually :)

I have a tree with leave similar, but the bark looks like the maple tree right next to it.
 
Late to the game . . . but beech.

Beech bark is often smooth . . . may be pockmarked like a teen-ager with bad acne sometimes as well.

Elm leaves are similar . . . typically hairy underneath vs. beech which are smooth top and bottom.
 
Don't know how I missed this thread earlier. Yes, to the beech. Good firewood. Get all you can.
