They do drink the fuel. Typically re-fuel at about an hours run time. I frequently use both hands on the nozzle to spread the load on my right arm. Usually run for 3-5 hours pretty much steady.
Morning gents , 
Last week we had 20 turkeys next door at the farm under the Washington Strawberry apple tree. Saturday I went over to do some trimming on the tree. There was not a single apple left on the ground. These scroungers ate up everything. They probably had a little help from the deer too.
We throw the bad apples out the side door still have a few box’s left from the apple trees . The turkeys actually scare off the deer . Guess it’s just the shear number of them . I didn’t get the other 30 or so in the front yard at the same time.
Now that is a thought about using both arms. I don't think my left shoulder would appreciate it. My right elbow is still sore from all the leaf blowing and leaf sucking that I did 2 weeks ago. It doesn't help that I never give it a rest when it does bother me.
I hope that you have a few in the freezer.

Why choose? The only real choice is how many freezers.Turkeys deer or apples ?
Edit : chipper1 beat me to it
I have a large chest freezer and an upright . Not hunting this year they are both fullWhy choose? The only real choice is how many freezers.
Same. Just put half a hog in one right before deer gun started. Our fridge/freezer needs the coils cleaned, it's on the list, and slowly moving to the top. We also have a chest freezer for storage in the woodshed, and an extra fridge/ freezer in the woodshed I planned on using in the barn when I get it more finished.
The freezers are the biggest concern if/when the power goes out, and that's what I'd hook the generator/generators to if need be.
I did spend a small ton(metric ton?) of cash on wire to run underground from the barn to the house, to eliminate the house meter and get the overhead wires removed. That will clean the look up, save a few bucks, and eliminate any of the trees in our yard or the neighbors yard taking the power out. The good thing is that our power company is local(about a mile from our house) and they take care of things quickly. With the exception of last time when they somehow forgot about us not having power and even posted on Facebook saying 100% restored
.a wise choice...standing snags are one of the most dangerous, unpredictable critters in our forests. EAB has created these disasters broadly. Take care... walking away is a good call.
Sunday, while volunteer working on restoration in local Forest Preserve I came across a snag HANGING FROM ANOTHER TREE... (we've been dealing with dead Ash from EAB for years) Now dead leaners is dangerous enough but this one is free swinging - off the ground! 55 tall, 12" dab. so maybe ~ 600# of mystery... (it's been refereed to FP's resource dept to deal with...as it's to worrysome that some one like kids might start swinging it) (note there are a couple of others in the background that will be left to Natures time)

The sled fired right up after sitting since April. Non ethanol gas is worth the extra pennies.
My BR 430 is the thirstiest 2 stroke I own… this as it runs at full throttle for long periods. That said it’s probably still cheaper to run than most of my saws as there are no bar oil or chain costs, and other than an air filter it hasn’t needed any maintenance/repair.
These get thirsty,Anyone have an idea on fuel consumption rate for a Stihl BR-420 backpack blower? I've burned about 14 gallons of fuel so far but no idea howmany hours that would equate to (other than too damn many!)
Nice! We get them as regular visitors here in SWPA as well.
