Tree ID?

[Black Titan]

Any of you arborists know what kind of tree this is?

We plan to have it cut down as it's starting to lean over the rear corner of our house. If it's a wood I can use on my offset smoker I'll ask the guy to not haul it off so I can season it and split it up to cook with.

"Picture This" says its an elm by the bark and the leaves. It pulled up elm both times.

Winged Elm - Provided to me by the Seek app (free).

I've walked around my neighborhood scanning all kinds of whatnot, pretty easy to use and it's been very accurate, though like anything it's not always 100%.

Seek is by iNaturalist.

To me, the shape of the tree does not look like an elm, at least not the ones we have around here. They're usually more fan shaped, like this:
