That Time of Year...Firewood!
About 4 years ago we started heating the house completely with wood. It's a lot of work, but it's free heat and I don't have to worry about keeping the thermostat at 68 degrees.
When we bought this house 10 years ago there was an old Stihl 029Super in the barn. It looked to be in pretty good shape though I had no idea how long it had been out there, how it had been maintained, how much use it had seen, etc...
Out of curiosity I pulled the starter rope a half-dozen times and I'll be damned if the thing didn't start. I let it sit for another couple of years.
About the time I got really tired of paying so much for propane I started researching the saw and learning about heating with wood. So now, I'm far from an expert, but I manage to cut/split about 5 cords of wood each summer.
These are the two saws I'm using. The old 029Super and the bigger one I just bought last year, an MS362. I don't know a lot about saws but the Stihls seemed to have very positive reviews and seemed like the pros that use them a lot were evenly split between Stihl and Husqvarna.
Any of you guys cut a lot of wood have a preference? The little 029 I use for the smaller stuff since it's light. The MS362 is the go-to saw for bigger, heavier stuff.
