Hi Ammo, my friend, a little addition to Bushwacker Bobs ode, but my take on it!
Beechwood fires burn bright and clear
If the logs are kept for a year
Store your beech for Christmastide
With new cut holly laid beside
Chestnut's only good they say
If for years it's stored away
Birch and firwood burn too fast
Blaze too bright and do not last
Flames from larch will shoot up high
Dangerous the sparks will fly
But ash wood green and ash wood brown
Are fit for queen with a golden crown
Oaken logs if dry and old
Keep away the winter's cold
Poplar gives a bitter smoke
Fills your eye and makes you choke
Elmwood burns like churchyard mould
Even the flames are very cold
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread
So it is in Ireland said
Applewood will scent the room
Pearwood smells like flowers in bloom
But ashwood wet and ashwood dry
A king may warm his slippers by.
In all seriousness, it's been something i was going to put together, so now there are no imminent meets, hopefully i will find the time (i mean get off my bum and do it!)
Regards.

Oak-logs will warm you well
That are old and dry
Logs of pine will sweetly smell
But the sparks will fly
Birch-logs will burn too fast
Chestnut scarce at all
Hawthorn-logs are good to last
Cut them in the fall.
Holly-logs will burn like wax
You may burn them green
Elm-logs are like smouldering flax
With no flame to be seen
Beech-logs for winter time
Yew-logs as well
Green elder-logs it is a crime
For any man to sell.
Pear-logs and apple-logs
They will scent your room
Cherry-logs across the dogs
Will smell like flower of broom
But ash-logs, smooth and grey
Burn them green or old
Buy up all that come your way
They're worth their weight in gold.
These lists are all well and good, certainly if your having to source/pay for wood for a home burner like many of the trendy 'Harry and Jocinda' types who've jumped on the home wood burner train are having to do but in reality when your actually camping your have what's available.
Everything burns if your fire is hot enough.

I just had a load of 971 delivered, they burn better than a cat but not quite as well as a fox
