Top 10 firewood saws

[Al Smith]

I've got a whole shed to choose from in many colors .Here of late my two most used are an 024 and souped 038 Mag.

One saw I will never get rid of is my Ohhh 3 4 super. It's a beautiful saw and runs accordingly.

This is not a ported saw either

I'll never get rid of my 034 either deets but I use 066 for everything now

Me too for the most part, but once in a while I get the 34 out

For me, it's gotta be the 357xp. Enough power to handle the biggest wood 99% of fire-wooders (including myself) will ever run into, and nimble enough for all day use with low fatigue. Great saw!

Goin by popular vote, I'd say the 034s/036/360/361/362 has the most votes

Stihl 036 good firewood saw...

 

[sefh3]

Started my firewood journey off with a brand new 029. Years later the 026 was the go to saw for limbing and the 056 was for bucking. Used that combo for many of years. The 046 came along and boy what a saw. Used it for everything.

 

[jmssaws]

A 046 is a great saw,I have a 046 and 460 both ported obviously and run great but for some reason I never use one.

I am a husky guy.

262 or 365 special for me. Both ported


Grandpa bought a brand new 034 in the 90's. He has cut hundreds of cords worth of firewood over the years with that. It still looks brand new and in his mid 70's he still cuts loads and loads of wood with it. He has told me numerous times that when he gets to old to cut that that saw is mine.
That will be one saw that will be more than welcome in my stable.

Big saws are fun and little saws that handle like hand-held F-1 cars are a blast. For general firewood, I'd saw that 55-65cc is the jack of all trades class. Are there better options? Undoubtedly. Plus most people aren't as mentally deranged/particular about their equipment as most of us are. I'd say the Echo (?), Efco (John Deere) CS56/62, Stihl 027/029 and Husky 55/455-460 are probably the leaders for the last 15-20 years.

Bought them right here long before I knew anything about our fine forum. I should add that they work best with an 039 inner spike (they stick out a little farther) and the points line up better than the OE 036 inner.

That's what I had on my 034,ain't much left of a 18" bar.

That's an 18" Sugi in the vid. Dawgs do soak up some length, even the smaller ones. Oh, and notice the nice sticker on top of the Oh Three Six!

He had a 20" on his 026, the 66 dogs actually helped that saw out by eatin up bar length
