    Welcome aboard 1985ew glad to have you here. I'm thinking Tulip/Yellow Poplar also. Good shoulder season wood. Dries fast & makes nice quick heat.

    I have a pile of tulip poplar hoarded. Since it was my first year trying to get to the three year plan, I figured something that split easily and dried quickly was perfect for me. We’ll see how fast I fly through it when I get to that portion of the stack in cooler weather.. although it is also said to be mixed in with denser woods to get the temperature up quicker for cleaner burning.

    OMG did you mean 13 hours??? :binoculars::eek::picard:that has to be a FHC record or something. Last Summer i drove nearly two hours one way across Connecticut to cut a truck full of wood for an aging friend. I came home with a heaping PU full as well...and i thought that was far! Hats off to you 1985ew :tip:
