Hmmm, that's got me stumped...hey, I made an accidental pun! 😏💩 But to me, it looks like an example of what we call "now burnable." 👍
 
Also has a tan line (trail) directly down the center. Is this specific to ash borer?
 
looks like the Ash I have
 
Going with ash (or maple of some kind). Going to split into half rounds and stack for overnights in a couple of years. Thanks

That's usually the pith which is very prevalent in maple but not so much in ash. Looks pretty well seasoned so it's hard to say honestly. Doesn't look like the maple I have.

Regardless, it looks like BTUs!
 
I've never seen Green or Black Ash, but that's not the White Ash grain I see here..
