Its blade is getting very worn away now but still prefer it.

What model of moisture meter will they issue the new local council firewood police with? Suppose they will need to carry hatchet/axe also to split the logs for the readings. -
Used chain is cutting faster than brand a new one, and the lower rakers/plus angled front of rakers seems too of improved the chain most for boring and felling cuts, it seems like there is less "chatter". For snedding & cross cutting was abit less of a difference/improvement that I could notice Not very scientific, but that was just what i noticed since I tried that stihl progressive raker guide thingymajig 95TXL chain sharpened using file in a holder re doing the rakers took prob less than 5 mins on a 15" bar and is not needed every sharpen. No idea about teh science explainations in the carlton guide...or marketing Was cutting ok before but now its better. Thought the lower raker might of made it grabby but it didn't....

Surprised by that, have a bay in the garden on clay & its slow growing compared to thoose ubiqitous cherry laurel hedges that all seem to grow like crazy. Least there not as bad as leylandi though i suppose as a hedge.

Sell firewood by weight best to soak the logs in a pond before you flog them them? 🙂 One thing iv'e noticed dumpy bags are often sold as a 1m3 when a .8 x.8 dumpy bag is only .64m3 -

Scale of burns like lithium in water to as flammable as a fire brick?

Yes thats right

The angled rakers from using the prog raker gauge one did seem to made a noticable difference after previously just doing then more flat Seemed to make it cut smoother & also and less grabby Was skeptical before I tried it. Could just do the same freehand though, but before I tried the gauge I never thought to angle the rakers as much...

I didn't think the oregon type one was as good the last one. It files raker at a more of a slope also than the oregon does
