Regular black cherry or apple is the best I've noticed. Never burned chestnut oak. They're around. but still living. Hickory's nice too, and I've had black locust that smelled a bit like smoked ham. That was pretty good.
 
Love all the different smoke and smells indoors and out. Except for Poplar and Staghorn Sumac , of course Cherry and Apple love ... best smelling heat is Juneberry. Small trees so it's irregular and random when on the pile
 
Great comments but, er, I rarely if ever smell any smoke in the house by stove (while feeding logs etc) nor outside so are you gents talking about campfires?
 
My stove needs work. The glass is messed up up front, and I feed it on the side. That causes smoke to puff out when I open the side door. I need to fix it, but keep kicking it down the road. Easiest fix is to block off the windows entirely, but I like seeing what the fire's doing without opening doors. There's a few ways to fix it readily in my skillset. I just need to pick one, and make the time to do it.
