get a multi burner (coal and logs) and if you got a place to cut logs it wont cost you a penney just petrol and oil for a chainsaw and about 15 quids worth of petrol should cut you a winter of logs, get a few bags of coal and when its really cold chuck a half bucket of coal in and a few damp logs on top and turn down the damper, it should fire up in the morning when you get up and warm your place all night
