Hardwoods are generally better for burning in wood burning stoves than softwoods. As a rule of thumb hardwoods are produced by slow-growing deciduous trees (those trees that loose their leaves each year) and therefore the logs have a greater density than quicker growing soft wood trees.
and always make sure you burn nice dry wood, burning wet wood can cause problems with your stove, flue and they don't give the best heat output due to the moisture content
Hardwood logs can be hard to start as they are dense, so good kindling or some lesser softwood or good fireligthers are needed to build up the fire to get the hardwood logs to take.
