Ironwood is a common name that can refer to either blue beech (Carpinus caroliniana)or hop hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), and you described the latter of the two. Here is a link to a list of quite a number of trees and their btu content:

Dave I have a feeling that ironwood is the top of the list on the chart from woodheat website it is listed as rock elm.
I did some looking into it and I’m pretty sure that Rock elm is what its called in the states and ironwood in canada. I am just guessing cause the sites I was on didn’t give me any alternate names.
