Why would I do all that for? I live in the suburbs in the lower 48. I'll just have the wood delivered to my house. I just wanted to know how many pieces of wood I would have to cut and if it's worth the time and energy cutting all it myself or just buying it.

I'm trying to reduce my heating bill. I have a furnace that uses oil. Oil is very expensive especially where I'm at. I'm just trying to figure out how much wood costs vs oil per month and per year. I'm spending around $2,500 a year on oil.

My math could be wrong so correct me if I'm wrong. A cord of wood is roughly around 700 pieces of firewood? So, roughly around 7,000 pieces of firewood a year you burn? 585 to 600 pieces of firewood a month? I'm trying to figure out the math and how many pieces of firewood I would need from...

I would assume you guys have wood stoves up there in your homes? If you do, do you do all your cutting and collecting of firewood for your stove for the winter or buy it from a lumber yard already cut? Using a chainsaw for firewood cutting, does it really wear out a saw or is it the milling...

Do any of you have any experience with the clones (Farmmac, Neo-Tec, Holzfforma) and how have they stood up?

Is it a safer bet to buy a new Chinese clone (Farmmac, Neo-Tec, Holzfforma) than a used Stihl?

I was wondering if any of you have bought used chainsaws online from places like ebay or craigslist and is it wise to do so? I recently saw a STIHL MS362C for $99 dollars. The seller has a 99.4% positive rating. Photos in link below...

Did you notice a difference in carbon build up and engine wear between the 40:1 vs the 32:1 ?

I was thinking of alternating back and forth between oils of Honda HP2 and Amsoil Dominator. Use Honda HP2 at 40:1 to 36:1 for most of the year then use Amsoil Dominator at 32:1 for a gas tank or two for that extra cleaning solution. I think the Ams Dom will be good to use for your last cut of...

Are there any chain sharpeners you prefer that work better than others? Also, have you tried the STIHL 2 in 1 Easy File?... https://www.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/filing-tools/2in1file/

I believe you can order canned Sunoco Optima 5 or VP Racing. They have octane ratings from 95 to 112.

In the video above, Project Farm compared different chain bar oils and the Harvest King came out on top overall. In one category HK finished second behind the Mobil Delvac motor oil with the second smallest metal scar. Mobil Delvac had the smallest wear scar size. Is it ok to add and combine...

How does your saw run between the higher octane non-ethanol fuel vs the 87 ethanol? Have you noticed any differences in temperature of the saw?

Have you tried running non-ethanol with 91 to 95 octane rating? It might run cooler.
