    Best Chain saw for under $1200.00 to buy for cutting trees once a month or so, not every week?

    I would love to if they had it out or available when I bought mine, but I agree if that’s what’s available to him, it would definitely be better

    Best Chain saw for under $1200.00 to buy for cutting trees once a month or so, not every week?

    If you’re not gonna be using it all the time, ms362 or 562 xp would be well within budget, give you enough room to buy an extra bar and chain, so you could buy the saw with an 18 inch bar and pick up a 25 inch bar if you need it for bigger stuff. That’s how I have my set up for firewood. I...

    The nerve of some people

    I don’t know where you’re located at but I live in Carolina, I get wood to process for about $50, sometimes free, and it’s usually a dump truck with about two cords of wood in it, hardwoods. If I had to pay 650 for a cord of wood I would save up my money for a couple years and buy the nicest...

    The correct way to do that is to come the one day to get the logs and come back the next day to get the brush, except your truck breaks down you can’t make it back

    Buying a Logrite cant hook

    The longer handle may be inconvenient sometimes but the leverage really helps. Just my opinion

    Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

    Yep. Used my maul, too tough for the fiskars splitting axe. I split about five cords a year and I’m used to splitting, but that pear, It flat wore me out! It wasn’t as difficult as sweet gum and not nearly as easy as the oak I’m used to, but it was dumped in my yard for free so I’m not...

    Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

    I don’t know if you can tell from the picture but that’s easily a cord and a half. Split it by hand in about six hours. It’s Bradford pear, which I’ve never burned before but has good BTU value. Anyone here ever use this for firewood?

    Fall colours not as bright this year in Ontario, Canada. The reason? Climate change :P

    The colors were pretty here in the south. Seemed a little more vibrant the usual actually. I’m glad they started using the word climate change and global warming. It’s not that I don’t think the world is warming up but there seems to be a dose of humility in the word climate change, global...

    Wood stove ignition

    Yeah, I used really dry wood, Kilndried scraps of oak flooring typically 10%, To get my stove up to temperature before I start putting in cordwood. They definitely burn hot. I had some, uh, umm, pressing business to attend to. When I Thought I had the draft set right I left the stove, but it...

    Wood stove ignition

    I sat with the fire for about 10 minutes after I got it started. I honestly thought everything was adjusted right. After I heard the first couple of wild poofs through the bathroom door I figured that was happening so I came running out to check on it. I’m glad nothing is damaged.

    There’s been times where using a wedge and hammered could split stuff, but I like using my chainsaw. It’s a 60 cc saw , will not do it qas fast as a 440 or 460 but it’s good enough for me.

    I’ve had to cut some of those up. I get a lot of wood for free from tree companies and I get what they bring. There’s a lot of noodling to do but the wood burns hot.That being said I avoid it any time I can.

    It’s pretty crazy that people think you’ll come in and do a $3000 job just to get some pieces of walnut.But I guess we wouldn’t have a craigslist laughs thread without them…

    Something tells me you’re not in on the joke. It’s all right, just search YouTube for a highly available black walnut tree and you’ll see a fun little video. I don’t know if you were in on the threads about black walnut. must’ve been a few years ago. And you can keep your Coors light
