Definitely Sass.....the reddish color on the outer bark gives it away, should smell like Pine Sol or close to it. Ignites easily, burns nice but fast but can "pop" a lot!

We have Tamarack in the northwest and it looks alot like that pic. It gets an orange color to some of the bark. Has needles. I took this picture a minute ago at my house.

Description of what we call tamarack in our area.
Western Larch
Unlike most conifers, the western larch loses its needles anually, bringing fall color to Idaho's evergreen forests. Also called the "tamarack," this species favors upper elevations with cool temperatures and moderate precipitation. Western larch's reddish-brown wood is tight-grained and very durable, making it ideal for plywood, flooring, and interior/exterior trim.
