Throw them in the burn pile and find some smaller logs to cut. I'm not kidding. I was there and did that too many times. You look at those big behemoths and you think of all the heat you can get from them, and you will get a lot of heat out of them once you get them knocked down, but sit down and figure out what it's costing you to tackle them.
