If you haven’t got an electric log splitter, get one. They’re worth their weight in gold.

Ya, one of these: https://www.charnwood.com/all-stoves...try/country-4/
Nothing to beat wood burners (or a an open fire) for hottest, but with most natural heat
Can't 'do' gas or electric heaters, as I find the heat very artificial and which dries the air. Same goes for central heating, which we also have, but only use very occasionally.

My only query is if the wood will be seasoned enough for this winter? I plan ahead by at least two years so that the oak I burn has dried out a fair bit.All done and ready for winter..
