Default Trees good for coppicing

Hi Everyone
Can anyone tell me what kind of trees I should plant for regular
coppicing for burning on a woodburning stove? I want something that
will burn well, but not take donkey's years to grow (I'm a bit of an
old donkey to start with!)

Our soil is poor, acid and stony.

TIA

Hazel Birch Poplar and Willows will tolerate poor soils and were trees of
choice for the coppices of the past and the biosmass projects of today.
