I'm close to filling an upgraded barrel full of Oak Logs and I need inspiration as to what to build with all of it as I do not need any more charcoal right now. I produce about a diamond chest's worth of logs every hour or two and I just want to use all the wood for something cool. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Looking for building ideas for oak logs

I actually am able to fully power 4 boilers with the output from this tree farm but as everything was warming up the server started crashing uncontrollably, turns out there were too many entities in the redstone tubes and it was conflicting with a chunk loader so I had to tear down the factory.
You could have used regulators to condense items into stacks incase you werent aware of that.
And shorten the paths, using ender chests would be advisable 
. You could also use powered furnaces, regulators, filters - etc for a pipeless solution. Hooking the powered furnaces right into the boilers would be an ugly but neat solution. You could also use railcraft for transfering your items instead of RP for medium ranges, it's fun to play with. Using filters instead of transposers allows you much higher timer settings as they transfer whole stacks.

Using filters instead of transposers allows you much higher timer settings as they transfer whole stacks.All you needs is an ender chest at the farm as input and a ender chest per boiler and hooks each one to a pulsing filter with a single tube to one of the boiler fireboxes. That's should keeps the server at minimum lag. Just sets a single timer at exactly when the boilers needs a stack inputted. Like if a stack is depleted every 4.5 minutes sets it at that. (Maybe 0.05 to 0.1 less to accounts for the transferring time) This plan doesn't involves those regulators which requires some wiring and Bluelectric generation. Oh yea just wires everything to that single timer so one timer does it all.
Example of what I meant
No pipes, filters only pulse every 2 seconds. The lag from such a set-up should be nigh 0.
I haven't tested too extensively, but this setup looks like it'll be self-sufficient at around 200°C.
From top to bottom:
ender chests, filters, barrels, filters, powered furnaces. The output side is towards the boiler.
EDIT:
Version 2 with sawmils, self-sufficient from 20°C. One pipe with very little thoroughfare (pumps out compressed sawdust from the autocrafting table). There's already a buildup of charcoal in the boiler. The first one's still not stable. (it's at 270°C)
Oh, and I've set the timer to a minute, it's still too fast.

Neah man, you actually burn the planks.
You get 0,3 heat per plank, the sawmill makes 6 out of a single log, that's 1,8 per log as opposed to 1,6 for a charcoal. And you also get a sawdust, 8 make one compressed sawdust, which makes yet another charcoal, so you're getting 16 heat per 8 logs from sawmills but only 12,8 from powered furnaces.
That's quite superior if you ask me.
It's probably a "Backup" or "Jump Start" fuel to if you runs out of resources on the production line temporarily or you have to turns off the boilers and starts them up later.
Sure man, start a convo with me, give me your adress
, my IGN is same as my forum name.That's the thing, the thing start to fill up like right from the start, puting the charcoal back in might have been a mistake
.I reckon it'd be better to just send the stuff somewhere else.
FYI:
One sawmill is just a tad too slow to keep 3 36HP boilers running solely by the planks, so your 3 sawmills for one boiler are overkill.
In the current incarnation of my setup, I use the charcoal from the sawdust to keep 2 TE steam engines running (2.5 MJ/t total on average), fill the missing energy from not enough planks, keep my steve's cart running and have still a few charcoal surplus.
These numbers are only true, when your boilers are already at max heat.

That's crazy man
but cool. I haven't bothered testing tbh because as I've said, the system simply stops if there's too much, and it showcased nicely how to do things w/o pipes. glad it all worked out
