Out interior west our wood is mostly pine, jack pine, ponderosa and lodgepole, a lot of mountain beetle killed-turns the infested wood blue but burns ok. Half my winter fuel is pine, the other half is douglas fir.
Lately I have burned some paper birch which is scarce but have found a wood I like to burn: mountain alder; it grows in a bush style and is smaller but the flame is less yellow with a slight purple hue. btu is about 17k. The splits have a pleasant aroma. I don't know that anyone else burns this wood-it is too small to bother with!
I see truckloads of pine mostly and then fir
