Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

That X-27 can likely split that straight grain oak faster than a splittre! I split a little Oak and Beech today.

You got that right. Straight green Red oak = butter. I also have the isocore 8lb for when things get twisty/knotted/crotchy. It’s a beast.

What is beech like splitting? There is a fair amount of it around here but I’ve never split it, so much more oak.

Tomorrow it will be run with the 20” bar. Planning to get one, possibly two loads of aspen.

Matt it was 63 here today . To warm to split wood so I detailed the ol 07 dodge . Started with a just clean it out and ended up shampooing the carpet.

After doing wood, I took a shower and went and coached my daughters Basketball team. Trucks thermometer said 64! 64!!! The wife and kids were playing outside like it was spring when I got home from the firewood and it just kept getting warmer. I’m just waiting for the REAL winter weather to show up.

I had a Tshirt on when doing the wood....... dripping in sweat

You guys are having incredible weather.

It was as low as -10 a couple hours ago here. Now back up to -4

Is there anyone on here that can make me up a loop of Stihl 25RS chain? Saw shop in town doesn't carry it.

I'm surprised Steve's saws even run after being submerged in the Sauna all night!!!

To my surprise, the straight grain Beech was not too tough, and I had some good size rounds, but the knotty Oak pieces gave me fits, and were set aside for the hydro. You do so well on the straighter grain stuff that you think you can get them … but … NO!!!

Mark (I believe he is mcobb2 on this site) can hook you up with whatever Stihl chain you want.

Thanks, I'll give him a shout.

Good to know there’s a source for custom loops of Stihl chain.

69*F Record high here yesterday.
36*F right now
Wish it would freeze too muddy to do much outside. Not suppose to rain for 3 days maybe it will dry out a bit. Then I can clean up yesterday's wind. Nothing big lots of brush.

I’ve got a pot of coffee plus a big grilled egg n Swiss sandwich down the hatch. Time to get motivated. Up to +4 outside now.

On my way from a round of sporting clays, did horrible. First time at this place, and boy did I suck only got 48 out of 100. Going to go home and split some wood.

First couple of logs. Have a helper today so I don’t need to load any splits.
