Common beech is an excellent firewood, easily split and burning for many hours with bright but calm flames. It is considered one of the best fire woods for fireplaces.
Birches
Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
Downy Birch (Betula pubescens)
Birch is used as firewood due to its high calorific value per unit weight and unit volume. It burns well, without popping, even when frozen and freshly hewn. The bark will burn very well even when wet because of the oils it contains.
Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) is a good fire wood that burns with a good heat and little smoke.
