This is something that is on my "To Build' list.
I have an out of control Pot Bellied Stove Fetish, and they work well at burning a lot less wood to keep a home warm, but they require small wood. I have tons of saplings I want to get rid of, so my idea was to have the Holy Grail of
firewood:
100% mechanized firewood.
I already built my feller-buncher (used to cut down the sapling and load it onto my trailer)
But the second part was to make a chunker that would drop the small chunks right into the dump body on my trailer, that way I could just back up to my cellarway, and dump it in.
So there it would be, firewood at my pot bellied stove without touching one stick of wood. I have been dreaming of that since I was a kid.
Here is a picture of my homemade feller-buncher.
