Sir George; You still have not mastered the fine art of cutting, processing, and storing, and utilizing firewood. To start with one does not waller thru 2 feet of snow in a Carhart bear suit with boots and mittens to make firewood. One cuts his wood during the pleasant days of summer. It is always nice and cool in the shade of the woods, and a very peaceful place to relax and enjoy all nature has to offer. If you have a sharp saw, it does all the work of felling and blocking the wood. One has to use ones brains and build smart tools such as splitter, log lifter, and elevator to do all the hard work, while one just pushes levers. Nice trailer built from scrap steel crates and old forgotten farm wagons make great transporters to bring the split wood from the woods. Stacking the wood is a minimal task also. You just need a shed with multiple doors to minimize carrying distance, and pick it off tailgate of trailer rather than dumping it on the ground and then having to pick it up. All I lift off the ground is smaller unsplit blocks. Machinery does the rest. One also needs a comfey chair in the shade to take frequent breaks with a cool beverage. To transport the wood to the boiler, one needs the wood stored nearby under a common roof structure and a transport buggy to carry the firewood to the boiler. No need to make countless trips with armful's of wood. One trip and a couple day's worth of wood setting on buggy next to boiler, Ashes are simple. Have 30gal garbage can next to boiler. It takes 2 months to fill it if one has an efficient boiler. Ashes go onto the compost pile. Then finally set back and enjoy the heat all winter and build more smart firewood tools, and think how much money you saved by cutting your own wood. My out-of-pocket expenses to make my firewood are no more than $200 per year. That does not buy much heating fuel of any kind. When I am gone the tools and tractors will sell for what I have spent to build and modify them. PS cutting firewood is also good exercise to keep me handsome and fit!!
