I ran a 28" bar on a 64cc Dolmar. Not ideal, but it got the job done, nuts deep in a few 4'+ red oaks. It's much better on a 79cc saw :yes: I'd...
Well, one dealer says you only need to tune a saw for altitude, and the other doesn't know his product line....
So, you only need a screwdriver at different altitudes? All saws need periodic tuning, even from summer to winter. I don't know if I'm ready for...
Well, reading this got me curious, so I checked a few splits today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Split and stacked this time last year. Now, they were...
I've never seen the old cat models, but it sounds like the current lineup is a lot more user-friendly.
Looks like the inside of my stove o_O
I did some cutting the other day with the first chains I sharpened on my new-to-me grinder. I think I got it, if you want to bring some chains...
It's fine for me on the average winter day. If we have another 'un-average' winter, I'll try splitting some in half or thirds. They're pretty big.
I think it's a geographical thing. 'Popple' in most of Michigan.
I have about a cord of oak left in my stacks. Just sat thru its fifth summer :yes:I don't know why I'm hoarding it. After last winter I found I...
I've given it a few honest tries, but sitting on something and splitting vertically hurts my hips after a while. Once they are small enough to...
We have a cat that lays on the pedestal, resting up against the ash pan.
Yeah, there was a lotta looking, a little cutting, and then more looking. At least I had a good spotter.
My first thought was to start at the top and work towards the stump, but there was a lot going on at that end you can't see in the pic. Had to get...
My new bro in law had a little more than he wanted with this one. It was a pretty big elm, at least 3' diameter before the first crotch. LOTS of...
Guessing with the old BK, the fireplace is pretty big. Probably no liner? Do you have a specific budget in mind? Are you still trying to fix the...
I did that yesterday. Gone for a long weekend, came home to a 60° house with 70° outside. I took one split and made a bunch of 1" square sticks...
Never. I've read that they do a good job, especially after some modifications. I'd really like to have an egg, but I don't see that happening...
Where do you live, Coach? I'm outside of Milan.
Wow. I thought that problem was taken care of. Is it an older stove? That's pretty dirty. There are other, more obvious signs of overfire. Using...
