Just be aware, if you order a ton of logs (for about 110 euros) they will drop them on your property... maybe a path?..maybe a drive?.. not good if you live 5 floors up..

A ton of wood takes some shifting and you need quite a chunk of space to store it...and to keep it dry.

There’s a large wood yard in Los Perez that stock lots of different types of wood and I’m sure they’d give you some advice and you could pick-up some small quantities to try. They deliver larger quantities is needed.
Here’s a link to their location:

Do not burn more than 30% softwood in a wood burner, as well as burning faster, it gives out less heat and VAST volumes of tars and other heavy hydrocarbons that will soot and tar up the chimney. DO NOT be tempted to burn treated timbers such as old pallets, as they burn off dangerous carcinogenics. The best timber to burn is two year seasoned ash, or other english hardwoods.
