    I (also) noticed that some of the wood had a "fuzzy" appearance to the cuts and splits....

    OK, what does this indicate? Was that the pickup or the big truck; they are from two different sources.

    The pickup. For me, fuzzy wood means softwood. In your climate, softwood is still used extensively? Up here, with so much hardwood available, softwood is kinda passed by.

    "Gopher wood" is it's nickname. Throw a piece in the stove and gopher another!

    Poplar grows like weeds here; it is what I burnt for the most part last year because we cut down a small poplar grove.

    Probably not, good idea!
    So by this chart I'd say anything under 18 MBTU per cord would be softwood...

    Poplar is a low BTU, soft, hardwood, any tree that has leaves is a hardwood, but that doesn't mean it is a dense high BTU wood, some softwoods actually have higher BTU value then some Hardwoods.
    Burn whatcha got :) :fire:
