If you have a sawmill near you they will often sell off large tied bundles of off cuts of all types of wood for about €12. There will be about a stere in the bundle. You will have to cut it to size, but it's cheap firewood.



We live just one mile outside Duras and we use Joel LABAYSSE at Dieulivol, phone 06 78 08 88 23 or 05 56 71 90 32. We buy oak and whitebeam cut to 50cm lengths and delivered to us. Another place you could try is at La Sauvetat du Dropt. As you approach Sauvetat from Duras, just as you enter the village there is a seller of wood for fires on the left with a big sign advertising the business.
Beware of burning "any old wood" especially pine, since the risk of chimey fire is increased due to the resins that deposite themselves in the flue pipe. We know many folk who burn pine off-cuts, but it is not a good idea unless you are fastideous about regular chimney sweeping.

Don’t forget that the winter is not the normal season to buy wood, that tends to be in August/September.
Pine gets a bad press, there are many places where it is the staple firewood.
