I in Michigan, I could not give away pine, spruce, fir or any other softwood for firewood. Even poplar or ‘cottonwood’ as we call it is almost free. I get into some big oaks sometimes 3’-5’ base diameters up here. But most guys ridicule my 32” and 36” bar saws. Everyone seems to prefer 18”-24” bars…..not me, I hate bending over that far to buck firewood, lol….Gary in Michigan

Lol, we split our wood smaller because you simply aren't going to toss rounds/chunks that size of heavy hardwood around as easily as you do here. Plus, huge splits take forever to dry- eps with oak, locust, and Hickory. I bought a Log Ox to make the chore of loading up easier- you can pick up and carry a surprisingly heavy round with it. some still have to be split, or quartered with the saw first. Fewer trips back and forth to the truck is definitely better, and so is bending over fewer times. I'd greatly prefer NOT to blow out my back or give myself multiple hernias trying to muscle around some of the gut busters i get, though.

Touching the dirt with your chain on a semi chisel chain (luckily) isn’t NEAR as detrimental to chain “sharpness” as it is on full chisel. The trade off is the initial cutting speed. There’s no free lunch, so you just have to be aware of what you choose and then…you just need to make up your mind what’s most “efficient” for your needs.
