How bigs the timber?

I recently bought the big stihl electric saw. For ringing up in the yard we wont be going back to petrol in a hurry. Less noise, no fumes, 25p an hour instead of £1.50. You only stop to fill bar oil no brainer so far.

 

Electric saws are really slow, compared to "proper" chainsaws, IMO.

 

Choose the bar as short as possible (i.e. 14" - 15").

 

I think your best bet is a new or used Stihl MS 260, unless you can get a good deal on a Husqvarna 346/357XP. No point in getting anything bigger, since it gets heavier, too. In any case, choose a saw with a .325" or 3/8" High Profile chain. The 3/8" low profile (Picco) chains are too slow for firewood.

I use a Hakki Pilke Eagle which takes up to 10" ... much quicker than a chainsaw.
