solarbirdI have a lot more wood than I did before. No, wait; I have a lot more dead trees than I did before, and they've now been cut down. Anybody (again, who is local and who I know) want to chop them up for their wood stove? [ETA: They're alders, all 10 of them. Also, the three (four?) I brought down on my own - or which came down on their own - are also alder.]
I suppose I could also rent a chipper (why I hardly) and use them as mulch... anybody done that? Is it expensive and/or annoying?

It's not cheap, about $150 to $200 for the chipper rental. Splitting the logs for firewood is much cheaper, about $60 to $100 to rent the log splitter.
Either solution requires a chainsaw to get the trees into managable chunks, if that hasn't been done already.
