Firewood Measuring Sticks

[Stump Shot]

Derp.....derp....

The overthinking of such simple things gives me gas.

I have a brother that is so intelligent that he literally has absolutely no common sense. I get gas every time he and I have a conversation.

How do you measure out an 18" stick if you have nothing to measure with?

What length is your bar?

Dude......you just finished posting about how you could measure with your hands.

Also......you surely realize how long the bar on your saw is.

A smart guy like you should be able to get really close.

Right?

I had someone cut firewood for me, they said they measured using their 20" bar. Everything came out 22-24"

Yes, but I just use the same method as Stump shot, for the most part. But I was talking about in general, because most people don't measure their hands that I know of.

The gas you've given me is brutal.

I mean.....do you file your chains before you go cut? Get some gas? Oil? Grab a *f-wording tape measure too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nutball]

I'm gonna go grind some cylinders now and try to overthink while I do it.

I already said I got it covered: tape measure when the length needs to be precise, or justs mark the bar or use hands or something.

And thanks for the stick method, I'll try it sometime.

I have bow saw and the bow is 16"x24". Measuring firewood is bs imo but ok.
Life is even easier at the RV park. They sell firewood by the loader bucket and 22" is max on the splitter deck. They don't care what length sticks are

If you have a stove that only takes a certain sized log then measure. I do.
It also makes for a nice looking stack. Nice and even.
If you don't want to measure then don't. To each his own

My stove takes 15" max wide at the door. The fire box will take 17" inside. No worries and I'm not measuring nothing. If you ask for 16 or 15 or 18" that's what you get. I have eyes to see with.

If your like going to complain... like, I'm going to leave

 

[RI Chevy]

Relax. I'm just a hack and I prefer to measure...just me.
I'm not a "PRO" like you guys.
Carry on...
