I have about 5 or 6 tons of Pop around, mainly oversize stuff.   On Tuesday I was cutting some of it for my own use this coming winter,   this has been in a cord stack since August 14.   Bark has long gone, some of te timber is now starting to decay and is WET inside,  you can feel it as you handle the logs.

I would have scorned Poplar as firewood, but having had to fell a couple to access other trees, and noticing how easy(prob in the Spring) it was to de-bark using the front tyre of a 4WD tractor, I cut, split and stacked it.

It dried remarkedly fast & well (from recall) and was bloody excellent for lighting the wood stove along with a couple of handfuls of scrunched up newspaper.

So ah hadda rethunk my notions.

I have a large poplar 'trunk' which was felled about 2.5 years ago, still lying on the ground.  I was planning to get it planked up so I could use the wood for random stuff around the garden/garage/shed etc.  I also have a 25kW biomass so have need for firewood (plenty in store seasoned and ready to go at the moment though).  Would it be better to get it planked (and off the ground!) or just ring it up and split/stack for firewood and use in the biomass boiler?  Photos should hopefully give an indication of size. (Poplar in background of second photo - the spruce/douglas? needs planking as well!)
