    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.

    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.
