    Hard to say for certain, I don't see knots everywhere.....it's a softer wood, for certain, but hey, it's BTUS...

    Does it smell coniferous? If it's pine/spruce, you'll smell it...

    Nice haul there. Hard to tell what it is, but if its been sitting for two years should be ready to burn.

    Welcome back NYCountry!
    Not sure on species, but this piece looks roached which could explain the light feel. But hey- burn it all!

    Looks like aspen to me.
    Dead for a while getting soft aspen, or some other kind of poplar.

    Pine should have lots of knots that go all the way to the pith.
    I'd guess poplar or aspen
