Having broken up some old kitchen units and put the supporting frame on an open fire the wood burns quickly and pops quite a bit, and it doesn't last for long when burning. It's light in colour and quite light in wieght too and you can quite easily mark it with a finger nail, so I was wondering wha t this wood is........ other than cheap rubbish, what sort of tree does it come from and is coated with something that;s causing the pops. ?

Likley to be birch.
something that;s causing the pops. ?
The birch we get as logs doesn't snap crackle or pop, it burns fairly slowly and reasonably hot. Density is medium, a log weighs what you'd expect a log to weigh, it's not light weight, it's not easy to mark with a finger nail. Birch isn't in the "cheap rubbish" class either.
What does snap crackle and pop are some bits of "pine" (but not all) or
ex-pallet wood (mostly). I don't know what the really snappy stuff is, something foreign I expect, it doesn't look like a "pine". But is a softwood of some sort.
ISTR leylandii being very snap crackle and pop

Maybe it is lava wood (comes off the lavatory)
Does burning wood go against the grain.. Its probably a cheap softwood of some kind. Often if untreated and in a house for a long time it does very much get dry and kind of soft I've found. Brian
Yes now that they are not thrashing kids with it it needs a new use.

A vile wood for burning - spits and bangs and doesn't burn at all well.,
For when a one iron won't do?
