I do have a generator that could easily run that and we are also looking at converting over to solar at somepoint to take us off the grid most of the time.

The smaller wood like normal size fireplace logs won't be an issue. I know I will always have to watch what I do with my back now, but I can still become self-sufficeint none the less. I have either been on the farm, or around it most of my life, and while the back does cause a lifestyle...
