I think Red Maple. Silver Maple is similar so I am not sure which one, but most Silvers have much flakier bark than your tree.

Cherry is 19.5 or 19.1 MBTU /cord
Soft maple is in the same ballpark give or take.
It will dry well if you give it a full year. It can help coax along harder to start woods.

Soft maple - probably red.
Its good fuel. Lights well, coals decent, middle of the road BTU. I try to grab some every year. Excellent shoulder season or cold stove fuel.

idk... looks an awful lot like hickory to me. I've spent the last 3 weeks splitting up a big hickory here and boy that looks like it. ... I see you're in TN. Prob similar to other southern states in that we don't have a lot of big maples like that as they do up north. . would love to see any leafs from the tree if you have them
Thanks all for the information - I am slowly attempting to learn my native trees (outside of red oak, white oak)
Gibson- Unfortunately no leaves as this tree has been standing dead which was the only reason we cut it down. If it would have been living would still be in the ground, we like trees around on the property.
I will try to get some additional photos up as I begin splitting the wood.
