What is "the best" is subjective and depends on what you value most.
To me the "best" is the cheapest wood, because I heat with it, where "cheap" factors in the amount of time and money necessary to obtain the wood, prepare it, store it, and use it for a given amount of heat. I cut my own trees, drag them with my own machine, cut them into 40-inch lengths, dry them (or not), and burn them in an outdoor boiler. Different destinations call for different measurements of "the best."
Others value heat per volume (e.g., how many BTUs out of a cord?), and even these values are flexible and personal. For example, dried beech would give good heat, but it may cost more than, say, birch or oak. Even *I* know that certain trees aren't worth the sweat, diesel and storage space to bother bringing them in for heat value alone.
There are online tables that compare various heat output of different woods under different conditions (e.g., dry "seasoned" oak with 15 percent moisture vs. green poplar with 80 percent moisture).
Another common measure of wood value (the "best") is how it is prepared. Some people have green logs delivered and then spend the summer cutting them up, splitting the wood and stacking it for later use. Others simply buy a shrink-wrap bundle of dried and split kindling at the grocery store. Sometimes you have to shop around to find a place that carries wood in the length needed for your stove.
Finally, to many the only "best firewood" is that which looks pretty while it burns in the family fireplace or campfire; easy to light, hot flame, pleasant smell. Apple, black cherry and spruce are local favorites. The best firewoods are hardwoods and the best of them are seasoned oak, maple, black locust, beech, cherry, apple, hickory and ash. P.S. I wouldn't burn Spruce as mentioned above.
Dry seasoned wood is the absolute best wood to burn. It is dry, therefore, it has the ability to burn for a longer amount of time. It is a good wood to burn for bon-fires!
Locust is the best firewood.ash oak and elm are excellant also
For outdoor fires, yes.
Among the best. Ash that is I don't know about Arizona ash.
Fruit trees and nut trees give us things to eat. Many kinds of trees give us flowers. Most trees give us wood, either for lumber or for firewood.
Most woods can, in some way, be used as firewood. I have not come across any wood that I couldn't use as firewood, but some need a year or more to dry out.
It took too long to chop the tree down and cut it up. In order to get crops in quickly, they would kill the trees quickly so that the crop could get enough sun to grow. Then as they had time, they would cut the trees down for firewood and lumber.
yeah
seems like it might make good tinder
firewood is made from cutting down trees and cutting and splitting the wood into suitable sized pieces for firewood. this can be for eg by using a chainsaw and an axe or by firewood processor

there are many reasons countries cut down trees. One reason is to make shelter, such as a house. Another reason is to have firewood, and even paper!
For outdoor fires, yes.

You can recycle Christmas trees at the evergreen disposal place where they will take in old trees and use them for firewood. They will dispose of it properly for you.
Yes. It was used for Firewood, Medicine, and Paper.
Because there is such a thing as valleys and grasslands that do not have trees and branches to use as kindling.
Well, some people use it for firewood, and some of it is used for fire.
Well um besides firewood and paper nothing really.
