Elm is probably the hottest burning wood around (next to pine), but it doesn't burn long. I heat my house mostly with American Elm and probably will until the day I die. It's the only species of wood that I've ever seen make my cast iron wood furnace glow red. It does burn fast though, so it's nice to have some oak to go with it, because on cold nights, the house will be pretty cold when you wake up after loading the fire up with Elm before you go to bed.
The nice part about American Elm is that Dutch Elm Disease usually kills the trees at around 30 years. By that time, they've already reproduced and are at a nice manageable size for dropping and cutting up (without splitting). The bark falls off right away when the tree dies so the firewood is already "seasoned" when you cut the tree up.
