Hey guys. I can't recall who I private messaged, but a while back someone mentioned about burning a tank of gas with one cut of the saw.(don't know size of the saw, etc)
I think what was said is that a tank of gas was used up cutting a 20" wide log that was 18' feet long... single cut from one end to the other.
I don't recall much other specifics, but I guess it's not that important at the moment. I gather the harder the wood, the more gas consumption.
Does the above scenario sound about right though? To me it seems expensive, gas cost anyway, to make only 1 cut. Am I missing something? I don't know how much a tank of gas holds, but I guess if I knew or found out,(which isn't that hard) I could figure the math to determine how much that one cut actually cost.
How do you guys figure or quantify what the gas consumption costs are for your mill practices using something like an Alaskan Mill?
Your thought, opinions or replies are appreciated by this wanna-be-learnin'-sumtin'-guy!
Thanks,
