Would say same to 74 you need better supplier of wood, to help us here during good times we get a few log trucks of logs delivered, in this area it’s birch. We cut to size per our stoves size and stack accordingly. You get between 15-17 chords per load, here that is about 1100 per load, or we trade 3 loads for one cut and split they pick up we load into pallet boxes.
We do have coal, for long term storage we have a mound but also hidden supply under grass hidden in land contours.
Also look at coal Inserts for your stove you might not have to replace stove just get co brazier, more options that way. With coal make sure you get right kind and size, it’s not all the same. cokING coal for forge won’t work for heating unless special brazier you can bottom light and feed with o2 from bottom. The coal dust is a problem with wind, if large piles wet with sprinkler it forms a crust and still burns well and does not blowl all over the place.
For transport inside house use a metal heavy duty garbage bin it is easiest to clean and some come with nice roller bases. Plastic gets super dirty and rubs off, your house companions will not be impressed.
We have a abandoned coal mining town near us from 1920 so easy to go there with equipment and trucks to haul 2 days with 3 guys is 16 dump trucks full. Lucky no scale lol. This is just chunk Anthricite coal burns well even if you just put few pieces in before calling it a night, again thicker chimney stack metal a must due to acidic sulphur content regular stuff will disintegrate.
