Doug Fir as kindling, Pacific Madrone (about 31,000 MMbtu per cord) for real heat. We heat only with wood although we do have a heat pump. We use about 4 cords of madrone per year. It all comes off our property so we don't have to go far.
Good link here. Supports my experience as well. Of the woods available in my locale, nothing beats oak. Then white ash, madrone, and maple in descending order. Always have at least a cord of firewood too just to start the fires.
