    welcome to the forum Jim.

    It has to be sweet receiving a new saw...even if you buy it yourself!

    Brand new member with a brand new saw, looks like you’re gonna fit right in.
    Of course we’re gonna need pictures of your other saws ( if any ), splitter, stacks of firewood, dogs, wood haulers, etc….
    Welcome :handshake:

    JimH - plus the requisite info, like do you heat mainly with wood or just supplemental… or at all?

    EDIT- I see you post over in “Introduce Yourself…”
    Yep- there’ll be a time soon for stove shopping and plenty of suggestions if you need to ask questions here. :yes:
