Trying to buy logs for your log burner or fireplace can be a minefield – how do you know which firewood is best and how much you need?
Some questions you should ask yourself before you buy firewood are -
What is my budget?
How much space do I have to store it?
When and how often do I want to use it?
How much effort am I willing to put into getting it ready to burn?
How important is the environmental impact of my firewood?
Once you’ve answered those questions, here are 7 things you need to consider to make the right choice for you
BUYING IN BULK IS HARD WORK!
Buying firewood in bulk is cheaper than buying in smaller quantities, so if you have a large, easily accessible log store, this may be your best option. If not, you’ll need enough space to store them somewhere dry, with good ventilation where they won’t get rained on. There’s no point paying for good quality wood, only to leave it out in the rain and have it absorb moisture before you can get round to using it!
The other consideration around buying in bulk is the work needed to unload it from the pallet or crate into the log store and then taking it from the log store into the house when you want to use it. Some customers prefer to buy manageable quantities that they have the space for and can easily get to when they need it.

How Much Space Do I Have To Store the Wood?
Before deciding where to buy firewood or how much to get, figure out where you’ll store it. You may be tempted into buying firewood in bulk to get a better deal and to have enough to last forever, but be realistic about how much firewood you need and how much space you have for storage.
Besides making sure you have room to store the wood, remember that it’s best to store firewood with plenty of space between the logs to allow drying and prevent rotting. And don’t position the firewood right next to your house or garage — think mice, insects and fire danger. A firewood rack can help.
Determine What Kind of Wood Is Best for Your Fires
If you’re going to burn the wood in an outdoor fire pit, it doesn’t matter much what type of wood it is. Many people use whatever they have on hand, without worrying about hardwood vs. softwood. However, for an indoor fireplace or wood stove, you should buy dense firewood like oak and maple. Softer wood, such as poplar, burns faster and doesn’t make long-lasting coals. Ash, though not as dense as oak and maple, also burns well.
Maple and fruitwoods are great for cooking fires because they infuse the food with a pleasant flavor. As far as firewood not to burn, stay away from resinous wood such as pine and spruce for indoor fires. When burned, they create creosote that can cause a chimney fire.

Other woods to avoid: pressure-treated, painted, stained and manufactured wood, such as plywood and particleboard. These woods can release toxic gases.
