I had 13 trees older taken down professionally but I kept the logs for firewood. I bought a bad ass 44 ton log splitter with a hook/wench with a 435 Husqvarna that I like a lot and it's all I will need as a homeowner after this job is done. But I still have a dozen (to me) huge logs that are around 30 inches across the tops of the cut sides. I'm wondering if I can cut out the middle area with my 435 to make the Roman candle type of logs for my fire pit which would make them lighter and manageable plus those make the coolest fires. They're too big now to handle and they're on a hill. Or should I stop dreaming on the Roman Candle type logs and be asking should I just cut them in half and will the 435 handle it? One of neighbor has a Stihl 026 online that they're selling for $200. Was thinking be cool to try that out but still around the same size saw but stronger. I know very little about saws and $200 is about all I have left in the budget after a new engine, a log splitter, 435 saw, atv, and yard trailer. Sorry for the long post, any decent advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
