What Sawtroll said is very important as to file size, Use the right one a 32nd diference may not look significant, but will make a huge difference in the way the saw cuts and holds an edge. I cut alot of firewood too, and the chain dulls very quickly especially if your cutting stuff thats already down.Two Tips, Get a stump vise (they really help with precision in the woods) and file your chain after every tank of fuel. If you do this it only takes 3 to 4 passes per link to touch it up. The time spent sharpening is saved in cutting, trust me! After you get good at it you should be able to file the chain (on a 20-24" bar) in under 5 minutes easily. A side note, I make one pass over the rakers every 3rd tank of fuel, chain always seems to run in the swwet spot just my .02
