It will be dry enough right now most likely. If you are in a state anywhere near Michigan it is likely an ash. If it has swirly patterns on the trunk it is certainly an ash. If it is an ash then it is dry to burn. If it is another tree and it has been standing a good long while, maybe full of woodpecker holes etc, then it is probably pretty rotted and may want to smolder instead of flame. Need to dry it out a bit but either way, it will burn and throw heat.

Don't make the mistake of thinking it will always fall straight down or fall right away. The one that got me snapped a good 2-3 seconds after the cut then pivoted upward 3' and horizontally more than 6'...wiping me out of the way as it went by.
