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

is it ok to burn?is it considered a hardwood?

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!

Tulip poplar, I burn a lot in oct nov then again march April. Good 50 to 40 degree wood, save the harder stuff for dec jan feb.

Tulip poplar is great siding wood. Here is some tulip poplar being sawn on a homemade diesel powered mill.
