I can get a delivery whenever I want. He'll get it for me 'as and when' as he does for his mum. Hers is stored in a massive cow shed and I will be able to have access to that 24/7 if I want.
Do I still have to be careful with the wood burnt? I assume with the doors closed I wouldn't get all the spitting that you get with the ''wrong sort''?
It will depend on the type of wood and the dryness of it. Spitting won't matter much, except when the door is open. I get the odd excitable bit, but it is of no consequence, really.
It's not so much about the wood just arriving, but, if you're storing it in the back garden, then it will have to be transferred there from the front of the house.
It is nice to be able to have a daysworth of wood in the house, so that you don't have to nip out in the rain when you run out. How you're going to carry the fuel through the house is worth considering, so you don't end up with bits everywhere - not really an issue for me, but it can be a problem in a more domesticated setting.
There are logistical issues to all this, and it can be made easy, or difficult. The system I'm running here is fairly easy now, but it's largely a matter of luck about where things 'had to be', they just happen to be in reasonable places. There will eventually be a 'cold' woodshed under the porch of the main Shed. Fires will be started with the 'baked' wood and then continue with the air-dried wood from there - but, that won't happen this week.
If you have a gas supply, it might be worth considering a gas poker point by the fire - it will make starting it rather easier and faster - and it will start a fire with bigger lumps, avoiding splitting stuff for tinder.
