Generally, BTUs are dependant on pounds per cord.
You'll notice a dry cord of Box elder weighs 2632 pounds and has 18.3m btus. 6950 btus per pound.
A dry cord of black locust weighs 4016 pounds and has 27.9m btus 6947 btus per pound.
red oak is 6928 btus per pound
Willow (the only wood to get a "poor" rating on the site I looked up) is 6929 btus per pound
