Pine ...3yrs worth
I've burned pretty much all of these woods in the last 5 years or so.
Hard Maple
White Oak
Red Oak
Yellow Birch
I have about three cords of Maple left and just got three Yellow Birch and three White Birch trees from a friend this year.
It's cut and split and will be good to go next year or so.
I also have a very large White Birch on my property that needs to be felled as well as three or four large Trembling Aspens.
I have a decent sized White Oak to be taken down as well, but most of the straight trunk will be milled for some new cabinets and some table tops for next years house projects. The rest will be firewood.
But we have a lot of Maple here and it's one of my favourite firewoods.

Always sounds like you guys are burning furniture. All those nice hardwoods!

i have all beech for next year
90+% of what I use is white oak & ash. Occasionally some hickory or maple. But. with the arrival of the EAB around these parts, it looks as though Ash will be the bulk of it for several years to come.

Gregg,
Western Hemlock. I know, it isn't the best, but it doesn't take much to heat my house and the supply is easy and good. See the Teeter Totter Hemlock in the logging forum. There's that one and right next to it a bigger one that I've been working on.
I've also got two Bigleaf Maple trees in the backyard to cut on.

Red oak, ash, hedge...stumbled into a deal with a pallet factory that will let me have all the 4x4, 4x6, and 4x8 stickers that the cants come in on. they won't run them through a saw because of the danger of rocks...brought home two dump truck already...will need to season but it's almost all oak and hickory...so 2013 should be oak and hickory...
