Best Answer

Normally soft wood would burn fastest. It actually depends on the density of the wood and the amount of pitch or sap still held by the wood. For instance, soft woods such as pin and cedar, when very dry, burn very fast. However, English brown oak, a hard wood will burn as fast or faster than pine. Balsa, also technically a hardwood, burns very fast. The denser the wood, the slower the burn.
