    Wood drying time, I can believe it!

    How does the tamarack burn, I took one down 24" DBH to make room for my new garage, I don't usually burn pine (have a ton of oak and hard maple on my property) but figured why waste the wood.

    best saw choices for cutting fire wood

    Try a Husky 455 or 460, IMO they give homeowner/non-pro user the best bang for their buck. Yes there are draw backs heavier then the same cc pro-model and use a cheaper engine block but they are also over $100 to $150 cheaper then the pro-model. Both take up to 20" bars and in softwood 24"...

    most nurseys sell larger trees and will even transplant them for you if that is what you want $600 including transport and planting if you spent $600 should get you a pretty large tree, however you might be better off buying a 2-4" dbh tree for a $100 to $200 maybe even two of them and planting...
