I was just busting you b*lls. Don't worry, 98% reduction is much better than 99.99 % of people in the USA can say. But then again, if all those were burning wood, we wouldn't have any woods left
I think you are doing wonderfully well. I have been getting tired of handling the wood 10 times too before it gets burnt. However, that is the way it is. Also, I am frugal so I cannot even get myself to buy an ATV (although I have been secretly checking Craigslist) so that I can haul the cart with the ATV and not my muscles. And I also checked out the Ryobi splitters. Must be getting older.
Thanks

PS. I have regularly seen PTO splitters on ebay or craigslist. Take a look. There might be one local to you. Not too much competition for those. But normal splitters with blown engines are in high demand because many guys can swap an engine and sell it for profit.
Thanks for the clarification... I realized that using nofossil as a name might imply a 'holier than thou' attitude which is certainly not my intent. I use it because I also have a web site by the same name that I use to try and offer information to help people who are trying to do wood heat and/or solar on their own.
I suspect that we're all getting older. I'm trying to be aggressively lazy so that I have all the labor saving techniques figured out while I still have the energy to put them in place. Thanks for the tip on craigslist - not a resource I've used yet, but I think now is the time to start.
