I’ve used one for several years. I had to replace the trigger once but it is still working fine. Set up for 16” here. I can actually fit an 18” piece in the stove if I split it small so I can fudge between the marks if the last piece is a little long. I like fluorescent orange paint as it shows up well. I put a couple wraps of orange electrical tape around the barrel so it a little more visible in the woods. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Yardstick and chalk works for me. I cut enough to replenish our previous season's heating use. 3cord +/-. If I needed to cut more, I can see where a Mingo would speed things up.
