    Harman TL300 Operation

    I was just wanting to read other's opinions and whatnot on it. This will be the second year I've had mine in a 1700 square foot place. You ever have it kind of shoot flames and sound like a jet going up the stove pipe (read on another forum that people experienced that too)? Then have you opened...

    Want to Sell Ported Stihl MS261

    Moody ported this saw for me in August. It has very little run time on it and is in great shape. It has the dual dogs on it with original chain catch. Saw comes with 16" bar. It is a very strong saw that runs right there with saws from other builders. $650 shipped.

    Why a top handle?

    I see a lot of farmers and casual cutters that have top handles. Unless your climbing and an arborist for living what's the benefit of one instead of a 50cc saw? Obviously I've never used a top handle on my farms or when I cut firewood.

    441C-M How did I do?

    How did I do? Owner is a police officer and said he just didn't need that big of a saw. He used it on one tree. I got the saw, 30" bar, and 3 chains for $750.

    Firewood for sale ads crack me up

    In the paper it cracks me up how they try to make theirs look better than others. These were all in the paper. 1 full truck bed full of split wood. 1 full 3/4ton truck load of split wood. 1 full 1 ton truck load of split wood. 1 Chevy truck load of wood.

    Cutting logs in consistent lengths?

    What's your preferred method for getting logs cut in consistent lengths? I never worried about being too precise in the past, but my new stove is a lot smaller. I have a top loading stove that is 15" wide at the top opening. The specs say it will hold up to 20", but you have to angle it in to...

    Ms290 12,800 rpm

    I finally opened up the muffler today and set it at 12,800. I can't tell much difference besides it is louder. Throttle response might be a hair better. How much higher in RPM can I take her and still be safe? I ran it a little today and still am amazed how bad a$$ my new 261 is. You guys...

    New Stihl 261

    Ok ok you guys are right, there is a huge huge huge difference in pro series versus homeowner. I got my 261 last week with an 18" bar. It starts up perfect. I like the way the top cover clicks in with the scrench and I like the air filter. Saturday I ran 6 tanks of fuel through it to break...

    What's this saw worth?

    My brother's girlfriend's dad passed away recently. They are selling some of his stuff and want to sell this saw. They claim it wasn't used much and that he brought it to the shop once a year for a tune up. I haven't seen it in person or anything. Just curious what you guys would value it at...

    Hotblast Integrating DHW into it?

    I have a geothermal water to air system along with a wood stove in the house and a Hotblast wood furnace in the garage. Has anyone integrated DHW heating into their Hotblast? I get free hot water in the summer off the geothermal unit, but I have been thinking of a way to integrate DHW in the...

    Show Photos of your Stoves, inserts, and furnaces

    I hope this isn't a duplicate thread, but I thought it would be neat for people to post pictures of their setups where they burn wood. Here's my Harmon TL300 that I just installed. Here's my Hotblast that's been in service since the end of last winter. Not a very good picture.

    91VX or VXL?

    My MS211 has had 91px. I'm in need of some chains and thought I would get something more aggressive. Bailey's only has 91PX and 91VXL. Is VXL phasing out the VX and that's why they don't have the VX? Would you guys recommend the VXL? If I got some for my 180 would VXL be too much for it...

    Stihl MS261 .325 or 3/8?

    I see on the Stihl site that it recommends 16" 3/8 chain. You guys usually say 60cc and up for 3/8? If Stihl recommends 3/8 why are 99% of the 261, 260, and 026 saws I see for sale in .325? What is an ideal bar and chain set up on this?

    290 to a 310 or 390?

    "The real upside to a 290 is if it breaks down you can upgrade to a 310 or 390 with no problems" I've seen this posted a few times. Can someone explain it to a novice?
