It depends,what im using the firewood for. For having a fire in a fireplace, pine or spruce is just fine or pretty much anything else, since the little sparking and popping doesnt matter. If im heating up a sauna in a cottage, birch, alder and aspen are good options, while the trees, which have too much resin are no good, because i dont want to mess up the kiuas( fireplace) of the sauna in the long run. Now then if im out in a forest and need to heat up some warm water for example in rainy day or on winter, the small and gunpowder dry below branches of large spruce are optimal for a small fire, since those only need to see fire and they flame on. Unfortunately when im home at my flat, i have no need to use firewood at all, unless my lighter is out of gas and i need to use matches to light a cigarette outside, which are btw aspen here in Finland. So in short it depends.
