You should read guidance from the Env Agency before lighting any big bonfires.

Probably obvious, but I would make fire pile with all the dead stuff get it ripping then start putting green on, more efficient less smoke

[testcricket01]

I would go down the big chipper route definetly

[Hodge]

You shouldn't need permission to fell them as in my opinion it is classed as a hedge and that is covered by a different act all together.

 

Please correct me anybody if I'm wrong but I didn't think you need permission to fell a hedge ?

 

I had to apply for something similar and was told 7cm DBH Applies.

Do you have a mill of any sort?

 

 

A chap called Scott Coles loves Lawson for his softwood framed buildings - PM me if you want his number as it depends on where you are in the country, if you have a mill, extraction etc etc

 

 

He says it is one of the most durable timbers for what he does.

[Rob D]

Ahh..... just spoke to him and he said these ones did not have enough knot free length to be useful

[Le Sanglier]

I would say the OP is about right, If it were me I'd burn the lot, trunks and everything,

why muck about?

[Jonny69]

Ring bark or fell all of them, then go back in three months with a telehandler and have a monster burn up.

 

Should get hot enough then to burn all the timber too.

Pity your not near me as I would ring bark as above but then chip the lot. Ideal job for my tree shear.

Keep it simple. It shouldn't be more than 2 days to fell and process the trees. Chip the brash into dumpy sacks stack the logs. I'll typically do 40-50 pine/spruce a day in the size you've got there. If you have to burn it fine but I'd explore every other option first.
