ah, not everyone is lucky enough to have "free wood". Mind you, this free wood you talk of sounds like it takes a couple of tractors, a loader, a trailer, a splitter, a chainsaw, and a huge amount of man hours to turn into a "Log". I'm sure (but don't quote me) that 1t of coal will last the same as 5t of wood.
It was felled and brashed out by the estate foresters, all the very small stuff put through a chipper, so all I had to do was pick up with muck grab and put into trailer then tip into shed, had to be cleared anyway as part of the ditch cleaning job, as for logging it, a good sharp saw doesn't take a lot of work and the home made splitter only needs a tractor for hyd power, if it's not in use at other farm I can some times get the use of a processor which with very little effort will cut into rings, split and put up elevator into trailer/bucket all by handling the timber once
