Tulip poplar is far more prevalent in PA and south than it is in NY.  But it shows up in pockets - finger lakes, along the Erie and Ontario lakeshores, I find some in Letchworth Park.

That makes sense, my land is fairly close to Lake Ontario.  I guess this must be the northern extreme of their range.  They are are a really interesting species.

Wonder if Tulip is good smoker/cooking wood? Guessing no if it's a soft wood???

I know black walnut isn't. Extremely bitter. 

Tulip poplar is the green board you buy at lumber yard ,sometime sold as poplar wood.  I wouldn't use it for smoking has acrid smoke
