    I've been burning year-old poplar lately, and liking it a lot. Decent heat in 40° weather, and it coals well for the next load.
    yamadog your poplar looks like it was stinky, but lots of good wood.

    Poplar is good shoulder wood, I've got about 10 cord in various stages of processing around here. Burning some now.

    I am getting good 4-5 hours between reloads burning some poplar and box elder. Great shoulder season wood.
