Oct 4, 2017 at 19:51 comment added Conor Beech (in UK) is Fagus sylvatica, not Carpinus caroliniana. Ash (in UK) is Fraxinus excelsior not F. nigra. Sycamore (in UK) is Acer pseudoplatanus, not Platanus occidentalis. Larch (in UK) is typically Larix kaempferi (a non native) not Larix laricina. Cottonwood only grown as specimens and would not be generally available as firewood. Just because a common name is shared by plants on different continents, doesn't mean that they refer to the same species; that's the whole point of the binomial nomenclature ( two part latin'ish botanical name)
Oct 3, 2017 at 23:10 comment added Jean-Paul Calderone nativeforestry.co.uk/firewood.html lists ash, beech, and sycamore. And I know from my Monty Python that Larch is a well known and respected tree in England. I'd be happy to update the answer with more commonly available UK species, though, if anyone would like to suggest some.
Oct 3, 2017 at 22:03 comment added Conor The OP is UK based. None of the species listed are commonly available for firewood in the UK. The unit "cord" is not used in the UK. Therefore, the answer does NOT address the OP's question......
