is poplar good forfirewood

[phily g]

Hi all

I might have a chance to get a load of popular for firewood have seen some conflicting opinions so can anyone else tell me is it any good and what would you pay

Secondly anyone on here from northern ireland selling loads of hardwood

[csservices]

I burn it no problem and sell it and customers are happy with it, it does burn quite fast when dry same as willow, the trouble with it is its very wet when split, so takes a while to dry and once dry really needs keeping under cover as it acts like a sponge and will soak up rain if left in the open, last lot I bought was off a site clearnace so only paid haulage as they just wanted it off site, worked out at £3 a ton, at that price I'll burn it all day

Its good, as said burns quicker, takes a bit to dry but if you can get it at right price. Get it.

Hi

 

Burns fast but spits if not dry enough not our favourite wood but OK if you have a wood burner or Rayburn (or any fire with a door)

I hate the black slime when the bark peels off.

Great wood, splits easy ,throws out good heat although burns fairly quick. I have a stand of dead poplar which I leave and cut down as needed so not to get wet
