Besides all of the fun of noodling I've watched in this thread, is it a more effective way to cut large logs as opposed to going top to bottom if you aren't using a splitter?

Since I use a maul, and don't have one of them thar fancy hydraulic log splitters, It's the ONLY way I can make usable size pieces of shaggy bark juniper when they are so tough and knotty that the maul just bounces back at me. Besides, the noodles make GREAT fire starter in the woodstove. The sad part of juniper is, being in the cedar family, it takes a couple hundred years to rot, so the noodles don't add much to the soil when used as a mulch in the garden.

I gotta hate that Rocky Mountain juniper. Hard as hell, but smells nice like aromatic cedar

The big Pioneer has the NUTS but the shavings jamb the thing up tight in just seconds, the smaller Pioneer about the same. The wolf in Jonsered clothing is actually the best noodler, the noodles drop straight out, no jamming what so ever and that thing will cut circles around any stock 70 cc saw I have ever run.

I think I used a couple of those pioneers, maybe it was a P45 but similar to the P62? Oh, it doesn't matter, their nothing like an 038! lol, except they won't last that long.

I would have said the jonsered too. My 036 noodles better than my 460 as far as jambing it up.
Might be that there is so little cover below the sprocket, there is nothing behind or below the sprocket for the noodles to catch up on.

Well, Thanks to stihl sawing help, and the lack of rain finally, I got to do some noodling with the 372. Have not ever tried it before, and it may be the red oak, but it gets stoped up pretty good with shavings if you dont watch it. But anyway here the pic.

A lot of saws get stopped up quite badly when noodling. Some of it can be helped by keeping the end of the bar lower or higher than the powerhead , the shavings tend to break up into shorter lengths and they don`t stop up the clutch side so badly. I have modified a clutch side cover for the Stihl saws I use by cutting the rear of the clutch cover off higher than stock, about middle of the clutch itself and this allows the shavings to drop out more easily.

Just a small contribution. My newest saw, the mighty awesome 372xpw, shown here choked up after a meal of noodles.
Love the saw BTW. When I set it down while it is running, unlike my Stihls, it doesn't crawl away from me... like those little players on the old NFL game that vibrated.

It is an awesome saw. The smoothness of it is remarkable.
I can't say it's better than my 650 though. That thing just falls through wood like it's melted butter.
Yeah them 372's are uber smooth.
So does this mean you have an equal rights 5 saw plan??
