Around here, the premium firewood is larch.

But there is none in my AO.

Second is Doug fir.

Third is probably lodge pole

With Ponderosa at fourth.

When the day is getting short, and the truck is not full yet, I have been known to toss a spruce into the load.

Doug fir yields more tonnage per cord, but lodge pole splits easier.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
