How quick does poplar dry and how does it burn? I've got several that needs to come down to clear a spot off
That's because it will last in your stove about as long as cotton. If you're around to keep throwing more wood in, it can work....there is a lot of cottonwood around Cheyenne and it seems like not very many people want it.
What can I say, it burns. The rub comes in when you realize that you put in the same amount of time and energy into processing a lesser wood, than you will for the other woods available. If you have the time, energy and space then do it. It WILL burn and make heat. But I would walk around it to get to a better species if that was an option.
I've got 100 acres so plenty options. Looking to build a shed where they are and was interested since I've never burned any. I might give it a go. Can it be milled and used for anything? I've heard of old siding made from poplar
I believe it was referencing the Poplar.Is this in ref to poplar or cottonwood (as the OP was asking)? If you have to knock it down, it only makes sense to burn it. I have heard of poplar being milled but not cottonwood, but I am not well versed in mill stock.
The genus includes Aspen and Cottonwood too.
