Care to do the maths?, Take away the gas, leccy and coal.............................

I've been extending our Log Store but having read MaryN's post I think i might need to extend it some more. At the moment the burner is used as a backup to gas central heating and calor stoves so it is difficult to accurately estimate what amount we would use if the fire was the sole source for heat and cooking.

Apart from the storage issues there is also the collecting, cutting, and splitting of the wood. I think i might look into some form of mechanical splitter to help as it is hard work just cutting and splitting the amount I use now.

Am I right in thinking that normal "house coal" shouldn't be used in Multifuel burners ?

I just googled burning house coal in a multifuel stove and as usual came up with plenty of contradictory info, some places say it is fine to use and others say you shouldn't because of the high bitumen content, does anyone here burn it in their stove ?
