Beech might be my favorite to burn so far, but it can be a pain to split sometimes. Kinda surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
I stack it, wait a year to split it.

For the wood stove almost anything dry, for the fireplace a mixture of maple and oak.
I'd be interested to hear about chestnut oak as well, as I now have some in my stacks that I picked up a while ago. Hopefully it's some good stuff. Smells amazing...In my area there is a good amount of dead standing red oak n chestnut (rock) oak. I found it puzzling nobody hardly ever mentions rock oak for firewood. Anybody care to give your opinions for rock oak n how it burns....thanks
locust smells like puke when it's green and the bark slips off and slimy
