Poplar

[clique2]

Poplar is used for matches-burns easily when properly dried, so much so it'll light with a match held to the log. However it is very light ie not dense so doesnt last-several baskets of poplar vs half a basket of ash etc.

 

Good for a quick bright fire on a cool evening but needs "reloading" too often for a long winters day

Unless you have a good stove and you can shut the airflow right down.
