Generally, BTUs are dependant on pounds per cord.
You'll notice a dry cord of Box elder weighs 2632 pounds and has 18.3m btus. 6950 btus per pound.
A dry cord of black locust weighs 4016 pounds and has 27.9m btus 6947 btus per pound.
red oak is 6928 btus per pound
Willow (the only wood to get a "poor" rating on the site I looked up) is 6929 btus per pound
You may have to throw twice as much volume into the stove to get the same amount of heat, but you're throwing the same amount of weight. There is no such thing as junk wood with an OWB. Just different levels of good. I'll cut locust all the way down to 2" diameter 30" long. I usually stop at 4" diameter on boxelder.
Of course, there are many other factors that affect consumption through a stove. If your stove is making a lot of ash, it's wasting a lot of wood. An inefficient stove just makes more work.
