What timber is this guys?

[lexi]

I am able to get a load of this off an estate. It is around 40 years old and some kind of fir/conifer type.
Any ideas what it is?

Out of curiosity, if it's dry, and it gets hot when you put it in the fire, what does it matter?

I mean some poplars just burn up so quick and don't give out much heat, but if you do an experiment (ie put it in the fire and see) then does it matter what genetics the tree had?

I'm curious, even though my rubbish wording may seem agressive... I can't be bothered to try and edit it, hence this note!

Always identify your prey for hunting, fishing photographing..........or burning. If it was Cedar I would keep some of the longer lengths for projects. ID it and it lets me know what else it could be used for.

I do know some of the firs spit embers , better get the gaurd in front or suffer scorch marks on the rugs

One of our neighbours had some trees cut down last week. No idea what it is but it’s going to keep a few of us other neighbours warm for a bit.

Looks like pine. See if there is any gooey orange resin seeping out of the bark. Burns lovely even when fresh.

My dad always used to talk about the sap by the pine tree when me ex brother in law leaned against it
