    I'll go with Poplar as well. I burn a good bit of it here as it is rather common.

    Yep it will burn, but there is a trick to it. First, place a piece in the wood stove, and then run to get a second, then run to get a third, on so on. It burns fast and is good to get a fire going, do not use it before going to bed. Good Luck

    I cut a bunch to burn this year. I plan on burning it in the fall when you don't need alot of heat. It's considered a soft hardwood if that makes any sense.

    I've saw barns built out of it. I guess it lasts a long time in the elements.

    It's used for house trimwork but so is pine.

    Tulip's my vote too - Dry it, it'll burn. Won't last like a hardwood, but sure beats buying oil!
