Is it better to heat with wood or coal?

I thought of buying wood or coal for next season. I have a new property and I will be in it for the first year next winter. So it occurred to me to start looking for fuel after the season, I think the prices will go up before the winter. I just don't know what, if it's wood or coal. What comes out cheaper? And what warms up better? I have a property of 3 +1. Gas is not introduced in our country, so coal or wood.

Answer :

Depending on your boiler ... Not all boilers are suitable for all fuels. When it comes to wood, consider whether you have enough space to store it (it is very convenient to let the wood dry for a few years) and - if so, whether you are able to process it yourself. But I personally consider wood more advantageous.
