I get kiln dried logs (store in garage) although they have doubled in price over last 3 or 4 years
Ash - brilliant - best
Oak - also very good - more orange look to flame but I never will get it again
Alder - lovely - not so intense heat more enjoyable burn

Yeah kindling stuff
If you burn pine it does not last as long as heavy hardwood does but the bigger downside you will need to sweep the flue more often

Both of those are lovely to use. A great scent off the cherry, although not cherry-like if that makes sense.

I started off with just seasoned timber, now I burn anything so long as it’s dry wood with no paint on.
Smokeless coal also if I haven’t got a lot of wood left.

 

[Steve Brown]

I’ve never spent a penny on on wood that I burn, Geordies are tighter than Yorkshire folk.
