The three elms I know of are White, Red, and Siberian. There are probably more. It isn't White Elm. So Red or Siberian? Red Elm and Siberian Elm are in the 21 to 22 BTU range - so not as dense as Ash but more like Walnut or Cherry. It looks wet. Range map says it is probably Red Elm. I get a lot of Siberian Elm.
I recently learned about google lens on my phone. usually pretty accurate for identifying trees and most anything. That said it does look like an elm leaf and bark, Usually stringy to split. My theory is if I cut it and split it I will burn it. I don't like being cold so I'd burn any kind of wood.
