Running rads off them kills the in room heat. If you need or want rads, get another system gas or whatever and keep the
Woodburner for your main room...if you've prelaid the fire you'll be feeling the heat in 20 mins...and they do throw the heat out.
Wood:
Is there a handy supplier? 2 or 3 cu metres will last a winter.
By us the deliver guy comes in a hilux+ sized ute and dumps it at the top of your drive
Then you have to move it off the pavement
Then you have to stack it and store it somewhere dry, but handy.
Some will need splitting by hand.
Then you'll need kindling - you can buy it but it aint cheap, chopping 4x4 pieces into kindling is time consuming.
So thats a big sharp wood splitter axe/wedge and small sharp axe...these axes you buy from your hardwa re store will not be sharp enough, it will need touching up to get a decent edge.
They cant have proper too sharp axes in the store...H&S

They look good in the lifestyle progs and are warm but in reality a load of mither.

The good news is you can but a cast iron propane powered look a like.
Click and its on and in 20 mins you're turning it down because you're too hot

That all I got

2 or 3 cu as in m³ for a single winter?

That seems quite a lot, my wood store holds about that in total and I've just got through half of it in 3 years.

That said ours is only on when it's really cold and the kids are out the way in bed. Even though you can get decent fire guards, I still don't like it going with a toddler throwing herself around the room.

Best thing I did was to find a guy who works at a local golf course who's often trying to get felled trees shifted. If you have the space, build your own wood store and buy freshly cut (green) wood that can season properly over a couple of summers. Best for this is birch or ash. Oak is great but takes longer to dry out. Burning dry wood is key as if there's moisture in it there's potential problems for the flue, plus is won't release the same amount of heat.

A wood burner can be really economical and quite a satisfying hobby. I find myself watching the fire on a winter evening while my missus watches dreadful TV shows.
