Typically in NE US, "swamp maple" is one of the two regional species of
maple that don't mind getting their feet wet: silver maple & red maple.
Both are about 20% lower density than sugar maple, with corresponding
energy density.

Once seasoned & dried, silver maple burns readily, though more quickly
than denser hardwoods. So, you feed smaller pieces more frequently.

Myself, I'd cut & split the whole thing- it is pretty easy to split-
nothing like sugar maple, for one.
