I can vouch for the Certainly Wood brand. Yes it is expensive but it is hardwood so you do get a decent burn out of it. I use their kiln dried stuff while letting the cheaper locally sourced hardwood stuff season for a few months.

Certainly Wood also sell bags of Eco Coal which when added in with the wood (multi fuel stoves only) gives a very long lasting burn and often the coals are still hot the following morning. Ideal if we get a really cold snowy spell. Think B&Q also sell the Eco coal. Only need a few bags for the worst of the weather.

Can't beat the visual effect of a proper woodburner. Superb.

After a few PM's asking to see the video I got round to setting up a YT account for my company so see attached for the video of Kiln Dried wood against seasoned firewood:

Can't help with a name as we don't live in East Sussex,but there should be several ads. in your local paper for log suppliers,just make sure they as well seasoned.

We had a few great loads of logs from a chap in Upper Beeding already - massive great barn of it at £5 a bag, we've filled up the estate twice. Ready to go without any drying out needed. Its kindling and getting the thing started that is the issue for us.

from what I if the moisture content is too high, the wood burn inefficiently. much of the energy produced is going toward evaporating the water, the moisture then causes your glass to blacken with tar and the same with the the flue

something like that anyway. i got well into reading about how wood-stoves work!
