I want to make mulch~~~!

Ok, we just bought a new home (well new to us) that is located on about 2 acres with lots and lots of trees and brush!  At some point the previous owners piled up several piles of wood and now there are many large trees that **need** to be taken down -- so what to do with it?  I have been burning a little everyday -- not making much progress and it is hard on my lungs...  So what if I rent or buy a wood chipper and made my own? I plan on having gardens and some are already established.  What do you think?  Any ideas?  Anyone ever used a wood chipper or have one for sale?

I found this article by Varanasi Estate in Australia very helpful :)
