Log Stove

[Bald-Eagle22]

Guys , I need some general advice on how much wood / briquettes I would need to keep my soon to be installed wood stove in our living room .

It will be a 5KW model http://www.yeomanstoves.co.uk/stove/cl5-multi-fuel-stove/

What should I be buying for it and what's the most cost effective way of paying for it ?

I always find logs a little bit rubbish until the fire is nicely settled in. Get some bog standard coal for starting, anthracite for ones it's going and a few nice logs to perk things up and watch them burn.

As for where to get them from, do you have a local coal delivery guy? They'll fill up a coal house every few weeks/months and it'll work out cheaper than buying individual bags.

Thanks godinman , it's not a dual fuel though - wood only .
