Stove : Switch from coal to wood

We're currently using a Stanley Erin stove with a back boiler. We've always burnt coal, but its a pain in the a** with the coal dust etc.

I had thought about switching to wood in the past but I've always thought that coal would burn much hotter (better for heating room and back boiler) and also burn much longer. I figured wood would burn too fast and we'd be through a fortune of it in not time, costing more money.

Is there a specific type of wood and moisture content I should be looking at?

What are others' experiences when switching from coal to wood?

I'm tempted to try an order of wood, if I can get someone local, to see how we get on.
