I think the type of tree/wood plays an important role as well. I've got a small shed that I keep my best wood in,black cherry and oak. Multi year seasoned black cherry stoked a certain way in my stove will provide quite a bit of heat and coals. Higher moisture cherry not as good, and this wood needs a bit more oxygen, so the air intake is open more when I burn it. I load the stove a certain way so the fire is not smothered.
At my fathers place, there's a nice attached shed and there was firewood stacked in there for years that was not used. I started burning it while working on their house one winter and I found it ignites easily and you certainly can control the burn rate by using the damper and air intake very easily. Sure you could over fire it easily just the same, but although that was some very dry hardwood, it sure seemed to burn perfectly and provide a lot of heat. This is an air tight stove.
I typically burn the same kind of wood at one time, that way I know what to expect. There have been times where I mix real dry wood with some higher moisture to balance things in the fire box. Heating with wood is interesting with all the variables.
