Its a softwood not desired by most but will burn. good for cool summer nights in the firepit or fall but not full blown winter wood.

sassafras has a very distinct smell
you cant confuse it for any other wood
the smell is overwhelming
if there was a trailer load of sassafras in front of you on the highway, youd smell it

Got a free load of this stuff. Thick bark, splits easy, I am guessing some form of soft wood. View attachment 236266View attachment 236267

Is it light? or heavy? I see two different types of splits also...
It is medium weight. Originally thought it may have been some kind of oak, but looking at the pictures of Sasafras it has a similar looking bark. It was combined in a load of silver maple and cherry.

Split it and smell it... There will be no mistaking Sassafras. Got a smell all it's own...
No odd or overpowering smells!

Then Willow it is!!!

Well, that is a disspointment! Guess it is going in the junk pile.
Had five loads of these dropped off. Real nice local guy gives me all of his soft wood and loads me up with chips. I'm thinking poplar? It had a real powerful smell for a couple of days after it was dropped off too.
Did it smell like wintergreen??? If so, I'd say black birch(or maybe yellow birch). Either way, good firewood!

Looks like Birch to me ... NOT a softwood, good firewood!
Edit: Looking in the Audubon Society field guide to Trees, Eastern Region ... kinda looks like Hackberry.
