What kind of firewood?

[Fordiesel69]

"The image displays a truck bed filled with freshly cut logs intended for firewood"

or

"This image shows a pile of freshly cut firewood rounds, likely oak, sitting in a wooded area next to a vehicle"

I know this. I cut it myself. Ai should be able to identify by now. I am not good with identifying trees, but it surely is not oak.

The burnable kind?

Looks like the oak and maple I'd get from the state parks on L.I. with a few pieces of white birch mixed in.

That stuff is called wood. It grows on trees. If I had to guess it's red maple?

Kind of short pieces But I find free firewood burns well. Anything but cottonwood or poplar.

We heated our house on the farm with poplar for decades. You burn what you've got.

And yes we had an occasional chimney fire. We had a fire extinguisher which consisted of a long red tube with chemical inside that you dumped into the stove. Something like this

So was this that AI couldn't tell you? I don't get it.

You burn what you've got.

One winter I heated my house in NC with Sweet Gum logs. Almost impossible to split by hand (I had a log splitter), but I had it, so I burned it.

Looks like white oak to me.

It will burn once seasoned.

Looks a little like ash from here or poplar. Ash is much heavier so burns longer. We`ve been getting a lot of ash due to the emerald ash borer.

Looks like white oak to me too.

If it's white oak it's a shame it's in such short lengths. White oak has become quite valuable since Russia attacked Ukraine. The big source was somewhere in the Russian areas of Europe.

We had our cupboards made out of riff cut white oak before all that started. It's very nice stuff.

Ash splits very easily by axe. You feel like superman doing it. Even the noise is satisfying-- one solid "knock."

Looks like maple to me. If you did get some ash mixed in, stack it so you get to it first as it burns fine while green.

I get lots of red oak, surprisingly not much white. It puts up more of a fight, splinters more, when split.

If you cut it, where did the leaves go?

Almost caught a maul to the face trying to split that stuff, it bounced right back at my face.

If you have a splitter and it is dry, it burns very well and hot.

oak, birch, silver maple?

 

[dlundblad]

The split one in the first photo is a birch as well as the logs in the other photos and the rounds appear to be an oak.

Almost impossible to split period with anything. A neighbor gave me a dead standing gum tree last winter and it was all I could do to split it. Had to cut it into short pieces for the log splitter to even handle it. Good burning wood with lots of btu's though.

My BiL likes cutting short - and when split with a maul - comes out like slices of pie - he puts those in with a NG starter tube - seems to really cut back on smoke …
(He burns inside for heat - I burn outside for enjoyment) …

Without seeing a very clean close up of the end grain, we can only continue to speculate. Kind of looks like populus genus to me. Both heartwood/sapwood are light colored, loose grain - doesn's seem to be "ring porous". Looks more like a "soft" deciduous tree, NOT maple, oak, ash, cherry (the good stuff), which would have darker/tighter end grain...............

Does it have that funky toilet smell of poplars (cottonwood, aspen, "bam" -balsam poplar)??
