Not worth the time to cut it up IMO, dump it -Ralph

Yeah, it's increadibly heavy ...when wet, but dries out pretty light. From my experiance it burns hotter and longer then poplar, but it's not sugar maple or oak.
If you're selling it I wouldn't put it in the premium pile, but it's not bad for those who are looking to have pretty fires in the fireplace.

My 2p!

Yeah, poplar/silver maple. Smokes if not dryed very well. Odores not bad, but not real pleasing.
