I burn top softwoods during the cold months due to super low ash and close to 9K BTU..
That said, Tru-wood, hamer hots, barefoot are good hardwoods I use during the 1st couple months.[ shoulder season].
more ash there but good heat on all of them..[ no box store stuff.. btu is too low most of them like HD's green supremes which are the old Stove chows...

I burn soft wood, white pine actually and they are very hot with far less ash than harwood or blends I've used. With wood burning stoves, you want hard wood because it's denser for the same size log and lasts a lot longer. With pellet stoves, that reasoning doesn't work because the pellets are roughly the same density when compressed. In other words, 40 lbs of hardwood pellets and 40 lbs of softwood pellets are the same volume.

I use Barefoot pellets. They're hardwood ~8k BTUs.

Barefoot sawdust comes from a hardwood flooring manufacturer in Troy, PA.
