Is this Ash? The bark doesn’t quite look right to me but I’m very far from an expert on Ash.
I don't see the diamond bark pattern so i don't think it can be Ash.

Edit; Is the Pecan?

Bark looks like pecan (I'm in Texas where pecan is everywhere. Leaves don't look like local pecan.


Pecan is awesome wood and almost a shame to burn it for heat as it really shines in the pit and especially the smoker.
That's interesting because those leaves are dead ringers for pics i've seen on tree id charts, pics & websites.
I had no idea pecans grow here in NJ. Maybe a different variety that down south?
Yes if i can get permission i may cut some for smoking even though i don't have a smoker.

How does it split?
 
It is not ash.

Pecan? I only know pecan as splits, not the tree or logs with bark. It could be pecan.
