I burn a fair amount of poplar in my fireplace, but not for heating the house. It is great for kindling because the grain is so straight, you can split it into very small slices. I also burn the logs, and as they burn fairly quickly, I find they provide the same heat, just not for long. I will add this though. If you burn it in the fireplace, use a screen! When it dries out, it can pop like crazy and throw hot coals half way across a room!:Stop:Most of this had a green, red or even purple tint to it.
Thanks
The gentleman who gave it to me just called and I asked him he said it was a Tulip Poplar/Yellow Poplar he also said it would only be good for kindling and start ups or on not to cold nights. But it was free and came with the same amount of Oak so it didn't take hardly any time to split and stack.
Thank everyone another reason I love this site.:fing32::thThumbsU:thanku:
Ja, and most of them are genetically linked, even if they go by different names like Aspen, Cottonwood, Balm of Gilead (Bam), etc.There's 5-6 different species of poplar...
Yep. That is EXACTLY the stuff I was referring to..........Tulip Poplar. That's what we have around here in Almost Heaven and if you throw a wheelbarrow load of it in your stove you'll be hauling three wheelbarrows full of ashes out within the next hour. Burns like match sticks and not much heat ....Again, JMHO.Most of this had a green, red or even purple tint to it.
