I believe the most heat is derived from seasoned wood.
In the old days before air tight stoves, slightly green wood was sometimes burned, I believe, in order to help control the rate of burn.
Moisture causes creosote which is more of a problem with air tight stoves which are sometimes burned at too low a temperature.
As was stated in a prior post the heavier the wood (when dry) the more BTUs it contains.
ACG, you didn't mention ironwood (hop hornbean) which, according to the NYS Conservation Dept., is second only slightly to hickory as being the best firewood here in NYS.
I did not get quite enough firewood together for this season so I have spent the past couple of days harvesting some dead ironwood around my property. Ironwood which has died and stood for a year is totally seasoned and ready to burn. I burn about 3 full cords of nothing but well seasoned hardwoods in my soapstone stove and have not once had to clean the chimney in over 10 years. That amazes me to no end as I have never had another stove like that in close to 40 years of burning wood.
