I think the one is already "pre-charred" for ya.
Hard to tell without bark...yellow suggests Blk Locust,,,but who knows. Burn it.

Looks like Red Mulberry. A better pic of some bark might confirm it. Good stuff but if you get in there and stir up some half-burnt splits, be prepared for a shower of sparks and the smell of burning hair.

I was doubting myself and checking. On the wood database there is a means of comparison.
Black locust glows under a black light. Red Mulbery does not. It was a cool video demonstration.
I cant do links from my cellphone.

It looks that way because the outside is wet. I threw a piece in the fire with some dry wood and it threw a lot of violent sparks. Lots of popping. Thats why I thought it was poplar.
Mulberry that someone rescued from the fire....looks like it has a head start on burning
