Sugar Maple?

[Wood Collector]

Before I process this one can anyone confirm what type of maple this is?

That looks a lot like willow to me. Are you positive it's a maple? If it is willow, it's not worth cranking your saw for. If your sure it's maple process it. Some maple is better than others but they all make pretty good firewood in my experience.

Pretty sure it's willow though. Which burns like 50% wet paper 50% some strange material which produces zero btu's but somehow miraculously still burns.

StihlKicking thanks for the reply. I have a willow in my hedgerow and tried burning a large branch that fell off a few years ago. Your right after that attempt I learned it was not worth it. The tree in my picture, the farmer said "hey you want this Maple tree the fell a few months ago?" I looked at it and wasn't sure if it was Silver or Sugar...

It is...

If your sure it's one of the two you can't go wrong. That being said sugar is the much better firewood.

Im stuck between silver or hard maple. Either way they both burn great but the sugar is def the better of the two.
