    Neighbor gave me some logs, not 100% sure what type of wood it is. Anyone have any insight? I have more logs but it’s raining currently and they are covered under a tarp.

    Welcome to the forum. That is honey locust, which makes excellent firewood.

    X2 on honey locust. Ideally should be dried multiple years for optimal burning.
