For cleaning the bar groove, I use an old putty knife that I cut down short and made it at an angle. It is nice and stiff, and the bigger handle makes it easier for me to hold with my big ol' hands.

What about using funnels?
I have to admit I have some funnels, but dont use them as I am usually only cutting firewood, so I have the time to be careful and not spill as much.
But If I were a pro, I would probably make quite a mess!
Another tip I have found is that it was not worth the effort to build a sawbuck for bucking smaller logs.
I thought it would make it easier.
Seems to take more time and is a hassle.
I'm cutting up a few slash piles for firewood and it seems easier to just yank em out of the pile and cut em on the ground.
Any tips on dismantling a slash pile for firewood?
So far it has been alot of work, but the wood is free!
BTW
Well, No, My 310 aspires to be at least a 440, but as for me I just cut fire wood and like to use the same brand as they (pros) do.
It's a dealer/parts availabilty thing here.
I did cut a 24" dbh doug fir the other day though!
Thats as big a tree as I will probably cut with the 310.
I also don't buy chevys.
My Mom does and I'm always working on the damn things!
I'm just a ford guy so dont get mad you chevy guys!
I do have a Jeep(dodge 5.2/318 v8) and a VW that are pretty darn good vehicles.
Just never liked the chevys.

OK,OK! No huskys and no chevies, c'mon man:jester: ! try weaving some bull rope through those slash piles ant tie it to your... ford? dodge? 4x4. start pullin 1 by 1 if tehy're large enough, get a few out and it'll start loosening up the pile.
OK smart guy. I was just thinking along the lines of OSHA and whatnot. I have to do aweekly inspection at work and one of the things to look for are chemicals in proper containers and properly labelled. Petroleum product in a ketchup/catsup bottle would definitley be a gig.

I use a weed sprayer for a shop can. You cut the end of the nozzel off. You then pump it up and, put the spout in the tank and press the lever; just like at a gas station. Nice little hose, so you do not have to pick up the whole can and it is clean with no spills.

Yeah, and if I'm outa ketchup, then I reach for the laundry soap.:hmm3grin2orange:
There are a bunch of wiseazz's here. But, bump_r, you did get my attention. I own a campground and I do get an inspection from the Health Department each year, and they too are down on misabled jugs. Especially it they are anywhere around the water treatment building. Not that I treat my water with ketchup, detergent or bar oil, but it is something to be aware of. I had a mixture of chlorine and water in a one gallon jug which was marked rv antifreeze last year, and she did not approve. I didn't get written up, but I will if it happens again.

Okay here is an attempt to actually contribute to this site instead of just trying to add some "wisenheimer" humor. In reference to another thread in the chainsaw section. This is in regards to e-bay purchasing, unless you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that what you are buying is a "very good saw in excellent running condition" than don't bid accordingly. I have bought[fixed up and sold] several saws on e-bay and i never bid on them with the preconceived notion that it is a runner.Most times if it is in need of repair they will tell you ie low compression cracked covers missing parts etc. If I bid on a "runner" i bid as so that if i have to put some time and money into it i won't get hurt. If I get outbid, there will ALWAYS be another on along soon. I have yet to be disappointed in my e-bay experiences "knock on wood" (other than having the hours back in my life that I waste on it) It usually starts with saw, then rototillers, than old outboards next thing ya know six hours later..., hell it's bedtime. (thank God winters about over!!)
