White Poplar as firewood?

A very common tree in our area, some people love it some hate it. Those who season it properly, like it for its long burn time.

Plenty of poplar over here in East Central Minnesota! Dried correctly it is a good wood. Good fire starter too with the paper birch. Thanks for sharing!

[@gagerawluk2949]

Agreed! Most people don’t dry it enough then say it’s junk and makes to much ash. Birch bark my favourite starter.

Same here in saskatchewan I cut green healthy poplar split and stack it and its good in a year.

[@gagerawluk2949]

Saskatchewan has some nice poplar, stacked when split green I find it goes hard nice wood.

Only real manitobans know the value in white poplar aka Manitoba poplar . Stay away from the black poplar but white is excellent fuel.

Your a hardcore tree person if you know that.

Popple not popular

[@ManSplittingWood]

And not good for cooking food over I heard. We do have some older birch trees where the base does look like quaking aspen though. Good eye @thederek27
