Pecan burns the hottest I have been told.
That and seasoned dogwood burn about as hot as any wood I have ever seen. But you don't get much wood from a dogwood tree.

I always like burning hickory and red oak.....I usually burn 4 ricks of dry and 3 ricks of green a year. But thats in a Hutch stove, in the basement. I burned locust that had been dry for about 5 years. If I Didnt pay attention it would get the stove pipe cherry red about 3 foot above the stove. My advice would be have the chiminey inspected and cleaned by a pro, never burn those logs that advertise that it will clean creasote out of your chiminey....thays a good way to start a chimney fire. Never burn pine

I like HIckory and it's readily available around here. Oak is a second best followed by Hackberry and Locust.
No cedar or pine. Elm is tough to split, produces very little heat and leaves a TON of ashes.

My brother burns a aluminum can in his fireplace in order to clean his chimney.

No good for chimney fires, but cedar makes a helluva campfire...especially a white, hard-as-a-rock, bone dry cedar deadfall.
