I picked up a bunch because the power company was cutting a new ROW along my route to work and cut a 24" diameter with some big main branches. The rounds were heavy as all get out which I later found out was because they were 90% water! The splitter really tore through them rather than actually splitting them and the water just poured out. It's really stringy too which gets annoying. Not the best stuff, but anytime I can grab a truckload of wood for free on my way to work I'll take poplar, pine, cottonwood, etc... I get enough oak and locust for overnight burns-the lightweight stuff is for weekends when I want an excuse to play with the furnace every couple of hours.
