Trev, You need to get one of these matey.
It's an MS880 with a 48" bar and 120cc motor, Eight and half HP stroke motor that realy packs a punch. Good for demolishing wooden houses and large trees. Ideal for cutting logs for your burner.
We ( http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/ ) can do it for under £930.00 (engine unit only). Try pull starting this baby without using the decompression valve :lol . I saw my govner trying to start one without fuel once. Poor bloke nearly had a heart attack. It's a heavy lump to hold as well. With the 48" bar on (pictered) it's a strugle turning it through 90°, let alone trying to hold still to do your first cut. It's a little tallet than me.

... On seconds thoughts it might be a bit large.
We don't sell any Ryobi so I can't coment on their products but looks to be okay for domestic use. As you say safety is a very important consideration. Practice running it before cutting with it. Get used to the chain break operation before use. There are usefull on our website about looking after the bar and rotating parts. Checking you have enough chain oil is important. Let the saw do the work and don't force it into the wood because the bar will wear unevenly and shag your chain. The chain tension has to be loose enough to pull away from the middle of the bar to about 3-5 mm, or just enough to see a daylight between the guide rail (bar) and the drive links on the chain but tight enough to snap back when you let it go. To check you have enough oil running hold the end of the bar about an inch off the ground and run the machine. After about 5 secs there should be a fine film of oil laid. You should be able to feel the oil on the ground with your finger. If you can't lift any oil with your finger and the ground feesl dry you need to adjust. However your finger should not be dripping with oil. Check oil at regular intervals. The oil it thinker and runs slower when it's cold, just like a snottoiler... But you're in Spain. :lol
