The land owner is a great guy and we have become good friends. I’ve told him since deer season I need to get some wood cut. As of now I have no wood burner due to moving. I plan on getting a Vermont castings Merrimack insert or a quadratic-fire voyager grand. Hopefully by next year. Anyway I went down a week or so ago to cut wood and the property owner was there and needed a hand. So no wood got cut. I showed up yesterday to cut wood and he had a friend bring this in for me!! Ahh some oak! That I quickly realized I need a bigger saw!! I also know this stuff won’t be ready for a few years!! He did ask it I could clean up an area that a tree fell across the road and he pushed out of the way with a loader. NO PROBLEM!

    Looking good there! You will be all ready to go when the new wood burning appliance comes along.

    Not nearly as much as I want to. Got the side of the road brush cleared up and changed blades. Moved to the other side and hit either a nail or a bullet before I even went through 1 tank of gas. Didn’t have much time to sharpen had to get the kids from school.

    Anyone have either of those inserts I mentioned above. Looking for an honest review. Read somewhere Vermont castings went down hill a few years ago... looks to me they made a turn around??
