Kinda Sorta the same thing. I have what they call a cord saw. It is a 30" blade on a frame that goes on the tractor 3- point hitch. I cut all slabs and scraps into fire wood and burn in the shop wood heater.

When I cut the wood for my house I burned up some humongous slab piles.  Now, when a custom sawing customer will give them to me, which is pretty often, I cut them up for firewood for my wood furnace.  Pine, oak, poplar, maple, gum, we burn it all!

The larger slabs become firewood for my two Taylors, one for the house and the other for the kiln.  The smaller material becomes either kindling or chips, depending on my mood and amount of time for customers staring me in the face. :'(

James we just put a inline mulch grinder in. Got about 500yrds of mulch now. If your down my way stop over I'll show it to you

Now you need a colorizer so you can turn it into the high dollar mulch. :D

The mill sets on top of what was an old coal mine, We have several concrete foundations, 20' x 30'  

we dump are woodwaste in and lite it when it gets full, can get a rather large flame goin'

The scary part is when you are burnin' and you hear the local fire whistle go off, you dont want to wish bad luck on anyone, but you do hope they are going some place else.

Around here if the fire dept goes out on a call and it turns out to be a campfire or bon fire or something you started and you don't have a permit they can charge $$$ you for the call.
  James we looked at a colorizer for this machine and there out of there minds they want big bucks. Right now the wholesaler only wants to pay about 5 bucks a yard. Wait till spring these guys are selling it for 20+ bucks a yard. I'll sell it for 10. They don't want me to sell for 10 they said i'll destroy the market the way I look at it im creating a better market for me ;)

I pile them along the road going past my place and put a free firewood sign on it. Don't last long. :D :D

 What ever slab is left over after all the kindling is taken for the house  We cut into 3 foot lenght and bring it over to the sugar shack for the spring run...Or take the 540 (skider) and push into one big pile and have a real weenie and marshmelow roast around christmas...

We have a New Year's Bonfire.  It's a good use for my trash logs that the wife wants me to get rid of too. :D

We heat two houses and two shops with slabs, and use a little sugaring in the spring. Anything leftover is free for the taking.
