I got some of it this winter. Burned beautifully. Seasoned in only around 5 months too. Got it to around 14% for the start of winter. About 8% now. Time to replenish the stocks though.

North Wales. Chances are slim. I've bought a 62cc 20" bar hyundai for pretty cheap. I'll give it a go with that this weekend. If you could help I would be massively grateful. It's very kind of you to offer and restores a little faith.

I go to work 5 days a week, the point is I don't intend on buying logs if can help it. But you are right on a price on time. With a 3 year old and 4 month old baby I've better places to be. Thanks for the advice it is very much appreciated. Plus the 025 might live to fight another day. I'll go for the free beech that's straight and free and 5 mins from home instead.

It's an old stihl 025 I've got. I have another McColloch 16" too but neither are particularly fearsome. The father I'm law is helping too but not sure what his saw is. I doubt over 20" bar though.

Most likely my fiskars x27 and spine turned to dust. I've got access to a 7tn electric splitter too. Is it a case of if I had a 'professional' set up then yes. Amateur set up a no?
-
Is it possible to cut this oak with only a 16" bar. 2 workers. Is it worth £100 and is a case of eyes too big for belly. To be used as firewood.
-
I have the opportunity to take some oak trunks for £100 to use for firewood. Are these worth the money and the time. There are 2 of us to cut but I only have a 16" and a 20" bar to go with. Is it too much to tackle?

Any tree surgeons in North Wales able to supply Hardwood at a reasonable price. Seasoned or not is fine.
-
Still waiting, hopefully for my first drop of wood burner food. Out of interest, for the professionals is it particularly quiet time of year for you?
-
Excellent advice. Muchly appreciated. Without asking I'd end up choosing something really unsuitable and just wasting my money. All the advice given is really helpful. Thanks to all who took time to post.
-
I can chop with a chainsaw. Not very effective I grant you. I do have axes and mauls for chopping. I promise to only use the saw for cutting.
-
The PPE is ordered and just waiting for delivery. Purchased before the chainsaw. I'm not planning on taking down trees as such more a case of cutting up what I can get hold of.
-
We always want something a little bigger. A trait of most men. Thanks for the advice. I guess I might aswell get something with more power and not necessarily need it than need it and not have it.
-
What about a battery option? Are they any good? I do have a corded one which works fine. I would like something portable though.
-
Any advice please or recommendations. I'm considering a petrol chainsaw for relatively light use, chopping my own supply. Don't want to spend too much but any recommendations on a good, reasonably priced chainsaw for my purposes. Thanks.
