What makes good firewood?  What's the difference between dried, seasoned, and weathered?

I had some firewood that was seasoned, but the firewood rack was sprayed by a a sprinkler the whole time and that caused the wood to turn very lightweight and rot out... I think.

I took all those pieces and put them in the fire pit, thinking they were useless.  Fortunately I didn't actually light the firepit, b/c when I took some of those and put them in the fireplace, I got some serious heat and happiness out of them.

Then I had some split logs/pieces.... those were more substantial in weight, but difficult to light and stank and crackled when burned.  Those were what I thought were the "proper" pieces.

Then there were just the regular dry logs that had sat for ages and burned fine.

I can't believe I actually have to ask this... I feel like a *******.
