We have twenty years plus experience of a wood burner, they're great but you must remember the room size - if it is an apartment it may prove too hot.
The rule is one Kw per ten square metres. Many Spanish homes have a small living room, ours is around twenty square metres (5x4). So we have just bought a small pellet stove and await installation.
Even that can produce 3-6Kw, but if we leave some internal doors open maybe it will prove fine. We will know better come spring.

As long as you've got at least a couple of weeks worth of logs under cover, the rest can be left stacked in the garden. If it rains, they'll soon dry out again. That's what we do, and we've never in twelve years has a long enough wet spell that we've had to use wet or damp logs from the garden.
We laid in all our logs in September, when they were as dry as they were going to get, the log yard was nice and quiet, and we could cherry pick the best of the logs....

For anyone in my area, I can recommend Hermanos Medrano. They've got big stacks of olive, olive root, lemon, frutal, almond, and oak. Ask if you want to know where it is. Drive straight onto the weighbridge, out of the car to the office window until she gives you the OK, load up, back onto the weighbridge, go into the office and pay.
All types of log except for olive root burn well. Olive can put deposits on the glass of your fire that is difficult to clean off. Lemon and frutal burn too quickly for my liking. Almond is my second favourite as it is fairly dense and leaves very little ash. Oak is my favourite, but it does leave quite a bit of ash. However, it is the densest of the log types, so we only need four loads in my car to see us through the winter, as opposed to five at least for any of the others. And being dense, oak lasts longer on your fire so you don't have to top up the fire as often.
Thanks Jim so kind of you to take the trouble to answer me.
Best regards
