Our maple here and Chevy s way doesn’t stink. I like it. Split it big or leave round and it doesn’t burn up fast and makes amazing heat.

Maple don't stink ,its the cotton wood that has the bad smell.

I can’t read junkman. I see now what you’re laying down there for me. I do dig maple a lot. I keep a nice stash of different assortment

Try some Doug fir or for giggles get a hold of some vine maple you’ll have a good hot stove.

Standard notch. Then you’d cut into the point of that triangle like you would usually do

I’ve read of it. I’ve never used it. I do the bore through. My maples around here will get wild

Anybody got any crayons? Cuz that shìt made no sense to me at all

 

[jakethesnake]

Maybe the triangle approach would be great for some of the smaller diameter maples or whatever else likes to go up instead of over

The junkman draws prettier. But that’s bout how it works

I might actually dig the T method more. I feel I grasp the concept better

Some situations guys do not use an actual notch in the face(cut #1), just a single cut into the face which doesn't act as much of a hinge. On those trees it's going where it's going anyway and you have little control your only getting it to the ground, it's much like cutting a vertical branch that's the size of a tree.
Another name for this cut is the coos bay, or CB for short.
Works great on hard leaners especially those prone to chairing as well as trees that you can not bore because there is not enough room even for a small face cut and a bore with a strap(although many times I'll angle my bore cut to take less space on those, sorry Kevin no crayons).
Here's a video, better than crayons lol.
First is the CB, second is a standard bore with a trigger, the later is not great when you have a side leaner as your bar can get pinched, please don't ask how I know lol.

I don’t trust it but I am familiar with a couple coos bay cuts.
